Call me a bad parent if you must lol, I thought it was funny

My daughter was throwing a tantrum last night that she wanted Cheez-Its for dinner and not her actual dinner. She’s 9, far too old to be throwing a tantrum over this.

After trying to reason with her and it going nowhere, I finally said “Fine, you can have Cheez-Its, but they have to be the Buffalo wing Cheez-Its” which is some new limited time flavor my husband wanted to try in addition to what we usually get.

Her eyes got all wide and she said “But that’s too spicy!” She’s a trooper though, and she gave it a shot, but very quickly realized she wasn’t going to win after one or two of them.

I gave her the choice of more Buffalo Cheez-Its or her actual dinner. She chose her actual dinner on her own volition.
