Okay I've been meaning to ask this question, so my twins are five and my oldest just turned eight is it wrong that I'm still using the 360 cups for them cuz I don't want them spilling drinks all over our house??
I would personally get them into the habit of only drinking in the kitchen or at the table. I agree with others as well as far as if
They want water bottles for Water only , but i just dont see the need to have them eating/drinking all around the house . I find that keeping food & drink items strictly to one place prevents bugs, critters, mold/mildew etc. & possibly maggots if it gets in an area that’s unnoticed..
We don't use cup with lids, but water is always drank from a bottle, even the adults have water bottles. For anything other than water, that's always given at the table with dinner, lunch, or breakfast, and in regular cups
Don't take this like I'm being mean but how?!!! How have your kids not refused a lid?!! I'm honestly impressed you have been able to keep lids on them for 8 years! 😄 Maybe a little jealous too.
Side note, mine get 1 cup and we just keep all liquids in the kitchen. It's easier to clean the kitchen floor than rugs.
I don't know lol. I'm kinda surprised too lol. But I hate cleaning those dame cups is all I know.
@ladyfreyja listen. 1 cup, let them pick it out in the AM and it stays on the counter and they go take a sip as needed.
@m00my2five I'm totally going to try. My husband might not like it lol. Oh well
I mean it’s not wrong… just unusual. My 2yo drinks without a top on his cup. I only let them drink water away from the table. Everything else must be drank at the table to avoid spills.
I might try that, but with the way the kids have their drinks all over the house they're not going to be used to keep it in one spot all the time. I just really don't feel like cleaning up wet spots all over the house and stains. But I would rather have them start using cups cuz it's so much easier to clean them lol
@ladyfreyja, Yeah I think it will just mean setting a new standard and enforcing it. They’ll get used to it soon enough. Plus they’re old enough to understand an explanation of the new rule and why it’s necessary.
Sooo my 5 year old still ask for a cup with a lid anytime he’s drinking anything other than water. If we’re home. He can drink out of a normal cup & does when we’re out but I think he just likes not having to worry about spilling while he’s running around at home. 🤷🏻♀️ But my boys also have reusable water bottles they use daily. So I guess technically those have a lid too. So don’t feel bad! They’ll do great drinking from a cup since they’ve been using the 360s anyways.
And I also keep drinking to the living room, kitchen, & dining room.
