Fancy junk food?

I am feeding my son a snack of a cashew butter sandwich on whole wheat bread. With marshmallows on it. Homemade marshmallows.

I am really not sure where on the scale of good to bad parenting this falls. :)

No, that's good! Even the marshmallows are a statement, "unhealthy luxuries are fine, but you know, you can make 'em yourself for less."

Really. Not that I know anything about parenting, but I do know being a child and a college student. My parents were all about eating healthy and I barely got any sugary horrible as a kid, so as soon as I went to college all bets were off. Candy bars, cakes, scones, muffins, Hostess pies and snacks, I'm amazed that I got through that period of time without cavities.

Heh. It's not cheaper than a bag of Campfire marshmallows, even if you don't count the labor. But it does taste better.
