My kiddos are 2.5y and 1.5y. They have decided that water tastes best when it's from my Stanley. These little goofs backwash like crazy. I would rather a random ass grown stranger to drink from my water than my kids.

We live in Florida, so I find it hard to discourage them from drinking water. I can tell my kids no about everything and enforce it, except this it seems.

I'm considering bringing around an old boring water bottle for my use and using the Stanley as a sacrificial water. Does anyone do this?

Edit: sorry for not being clear, my babies always have their own cold, clean (well it starts off that way...) water in a cup/bottle of their choosing. We have all sorts of cups/bottles/thermoses. Their ice/water is filled from exactly the same place as mine is. I'm grateful that they will always have access to water. This is kind of just a silly vent.
