Different kinds of sandwich spread per child? Have you experienced this?

That is the scenario we have at home eversince my second child learns how to appreciate things by his own. You've mentioned about the spread you have to prepare each day. In our case, my eldest wants peanut butter while my second prefers choco. Sometimes, my eldest will ask for cheese or butter. So you see,we have to make sure that there is enough stock at home. Though it's a bit time consuming preparing for two or three different things at a time, but for me it's better that way. At least they love to eat bread instead of other junk foods. When it comes to toys, its the same story as yours, we have to buy the same kind but different colors. And sometimes we need to buy exactly the same thing so they will not fight. But little by little I am teaching them the art of sharing between brothers. And it's quite a good start, though sometimes, they will still fight for small things, but later on they will realize their mistakes and will make it up with each other. And now that they are three it's more over of those things that I should be prepared for. Good luck to all of us mothers out there!

When it comes to foods people's tastes are as varied as there are people. For breakfast my sister would use cream cheese, me butter never cream cheese. And reading this reminded me of a family dinner, this involved in-laws, his parents, his sister, and his two nieces, we had 7 people eating dinner and we had 8 different salad dressings on the table. Italian, creamy italian, french, ranch, thousand island, blue cheese, vinaigrette and honey dijon, Reason being that 7 people were eating 8 different dressings with one of his nieces mixing two different types of dressing together. When it came to salad dressing my sister and I had different choices, when it came to mustard we had different choices, with one liking spicy brown and one liking yellow.
