👩‍🦯The Blind Fraggle

@jeffowski I didn't like drinking water when I was a kid. Who wants water when there's soda around? The only time I even drank milk was sleepovers at my aunt's house and that was what she served with dinner. Up into my 30s probably I could count on one hand the times I willingly drank water. Point is, I didn't always make the healthiest choices. Anyway, whenever I did drink water, my mother and my aunt would say to each other, "she's gonna get poisoned!" Guess what that made me not wanna do? 1

@jeffowski I guess no one loves drinking water, though some people seem to do it more naturally than others, but they made it a lot more dificult to learn to drink it than it had to be.

I "trained" myself to appreciate water in my 20s. Now it's my main drink. I do toss some lemon or lime juice or just a little cranberry in for flavor.

But then there are those times when, "No, I need something with calories in it."

@Fragglemuppet @jeffowski As long as it's cold, it's my preferred drink. I'll drink soda, milk, juice, and coffee (every morning), but cold water has been my drink of choice as long as I can remember.

@Fragglemuppet @jeffowski Me. I like drinking water. Always have. Never once in my life have I preferred any other drink over water.

@jeffowski And sorry for highjacking this post. My point was that by punishing kids for doing the right thing, you can prevent them from not only from taking care of their mental health, but their all-round health and well-being.
