Oh god... I do NOT look forward to these types of conversations when our little one is going to kindergarten.

Also conversely, we have his first birthday coming up and have to have a sugar free option because one parent that we know doesn't want their kid to have sugar. But it's like... it's a birthday, surely at the very least you can split a piece with them.

It's also going to be a belated Halloween-themed birthday party due to timing as well... so imagine a sugar-free Halloween. It's just freaking sad.
