After school is the time I would associate with it, if I had to pick one.

Thanks!

I know, I seem to be a total moron starting this thread.

I'll try to get into this and be more specific:

Swedish parents give their kids "lördagsgodis". That is, they can choose a certain amount from a certain offer, and this would be their sweets for the rest of the week. Officially. They get no sweets apart from thone ones they choose on saturdays (=lördag).

GERMAn parents seem to stuff their children all of the time.
We have something called the "sunday cake" where mum puts all her effort into her baking capabilities, but not all families do that. It's rather a worn out tradition, and I guess it's not country-linked.
To make up for it, moms buy large amounts of the bad sweets in the supermarket.

Now, what I got somehow, is that the "milk and cookies" thing was an American routine. (But yes, why serving 400 extra calories to a child each day?). But it looked so good. And it seemed the best/shape-friendly option, internationally. A glass of low fat milk and 1-2 cookies. Every day. Why not making this part of your routine. So what I wanted to learn was if this was really part of your daily life ever, or were I just hooked by mean 7th Heaven-producers?

I think also that what I would call an American tradition would be simply the choice of milk and cookies as opposed to any other type of sweet snack/dessert.

my kids get an after nap time snack. but it's usually gummies (fruit snacks) and a juice box.

when my kids were toddlers and just coming off the bottle, they'd have warm milk and honey before bed. And if they're upset about something or need some other comforting, they still get it.

my daughter has a snack with milk after dinner every night
unless she chooses to have a snack early in the day
i let her have one snack, a good one, every day m o d e r a t i o n
but a cup of milk after dinner before brushing teeth is an every night yes

we are no 7th heaven type family
we eat dinner around 8pm
as we are the addams family
or something not real diurnal

That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "Fuck you" right under your nose.” - J. D. Salinger
