Don't comply with your daughter's wishes every time, and especially times when your wife is already helping your daughter. You also want to avoid setting a precedent that your daughter always gets her way. Lots of reaffirming/reassuring statements to your wife will probably help. Best of luck!

Abstinence makes the church grow fondlers.

I've known that from the Tool song Third Eye. Good to know the original sauce. Reference: https://on.soundcloud.com/MLXsj

Guess that's a matter of opinion. Are most products still packaged in plastic? How many millions of bottles of water/soda are sold each day, week, year? Do we want to save the planet in time for future generations or are we justifying our own use of plastics by saying we tried?

Thank you. This tank is pretty easy with the exception of the pond lilly on the right. It's supposed to be a dwarf but I have to cut out lilies and flowers every week.

Why are we asking anyone other than the corporations that are manufacturing all the plastics to do anything about plastic use? Grocery stores don't make plastic things. They buy what's available and low cost to get the job done. If the companies that are making the plastic bags, containers, cellophane, etc are penalized for their continued production we may see change. No plastic manufacturer is going to invest in any alternative product if they don't have to. For over 20 years the push/blame has been on the individual (make sure you recycle all the plastic you bought) and now grocery stores. Makes no sense.
