when the kids were little, we bought some divided plates."Let's get some fun, different colors!," I thought.
What a terrible mistake that caused daily heartache for waaaay too long. These kids fought and complained SO much about these freaking plates! "I want the blue one!" "No, I want the blue one!" Oh. My Goodness.
If I could time travel, I would definitely go back and tell myself to buy just ONE color of divided plates and save a lot of trouble! We also had some small plate/cup sets with Nemo, the Backyardigans and other fun things. Those also caused endless squabbling.
We finally stopped using these plates a while back, but I wasn't emotionally ready to get rid of them since they were such a factor in our dinner times for so long. So they sat in the cabinet until this week, when I posted them on our local freecycle site and got a taker immediately. I didn't warn the lady the trouble she was inviting – I wish her luck!
