you can thank (or blame) Steve for this thread. Didn't want to hi-Jack his thread.

What thing did your kids complain about when living at home but Now they eat it. For my kids, I grew up having pancakes every Sunday as did my kids. I love pancakes but they complained about it EVERY Sunday. Now that they are on their own, I found pancake mix and syrup in their apartments...... Love it.

If it was you, what are you doing that reminds you of your parents (or G'parents) that you used to complain about?

So I had to take stuff like liquid Geritol, chew pills (Grandma read Prevention Mag back then), I had to chew the brewers yeast tablets she gave me...aspirin tabs..zinc tablets.....etc...etc...and
