[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 200985, member: 1233"] I have also learned the power of PROTEIN!!! No matter what we are doing, or where we are going, if the kids start acting out the FIRST tool I pull out of my arsenal is PROTEIN. Most groc stores have cheese sticks for under 50 cents each. Or we get a $2 cup of popcorn chicken, or a chicken leg for each of us, or some other form of food that is high in protein and can be eaten NOW. With the cheese sticks, when we buy the indiv ones we go to the register and pay for just the cheese sticks (the empty wrappers are tough to scan), and then go about the rest of our shopping. husband does not do this. He ends up placating the kids later in the shopping trip or coming home with a major attitude (His is worse than theirs' by that point). Sometimes the placating can be over $10 for a book or toy, where my protein is about $2-$3. AND I get the whole list done (usually) AND we are in a good mood whne we get home. [/QUOTE]
