If I would let my kids decide what's for dinner every day we'd eat pancakes 7 days per week with candy for desert.

Good you take that example. that's exactly the kind of stuff my son brings on and on and on. And each time, I (not my computer, spend some times explaining that he has to expand his tastes bits by bits, that if he doesn't do it it'll become more and more difficult, etc. That's a bit exhausting a times but it pays (we're looking at an ROI on a scale of ten years here :-) ).

But that little discussion we have reminds him that I'm the parent and that I do that for n good reasons. He also has a space to disagree and sometimes I just cook what he loves and take care of doing it exactly how he wants it.

A computer is 10000 light years away from that, AFAIC...

Funny, that's what your government thinks about you!
