It's not as bad as you think. I don't mean to give the children coffee, but I have decided to drink more coffee for the sake of the children.
"Mommy, you need to make a coffee"
"Why? Is mommy in that bad a mood?"
"You're just more fun when you have your coffee"
Of all the sacrifices I've made for my girl, this will be my favorite! I was going to cut down, I'm not even having a cup every day any more, but if this is what I need to do for her, then so be it :) I am wondering though, how bad do I have to be that she recommends my morning coffee? Now I feel pressured to have it becasue clearly it makes me a better parent, but I should be able to do that without it. Does it now count as an addiction? That would mean that I'm willing to feed my addiction to make my baby happy. A caffiene addiction is likely the most acceptable of them all, so maybe that's alright. Or I can find a way to be better without it...
