If your water is not fluoridated then it would be a good idea to give a multi with fluoride. The ones prescribed by the pediatrician usually contain fluoride (for children >2) as I believe you need  prescription for fluoride.

When my son was really only eating like 2 foods we were pretty religious about giving him vitamins daily now we r not
as consistent about it but my kids like them and actually view it  as a treat so they have them pretty often

Our eggs are from needled caged chickens who aren't fed healthy.

And who said that it affects the nutrients of the eggs, and even if it did to some extent, doesn't mean that its deemed Non-nutritional to the extent that you'd need to supplement it with chemically produced nutrients

My wife and I were debating wether  we're  relatively neglectful parents for not giving our kids their vitamins. She claims that 90% of parents give their kids their vitamins on a regular basis and I claim its the opposite.
Obviously the most accurate way to conduct a study and settle this debate
 is to ask the ddf family. So, how many here give their kids vitamins ?

You realize your title assumes that these vitamins are "required," and that your OP refers to them as "their vitamins" implying a standard that kids should be taking vitamins.

Based on your assumptions, you are indeed a negligent parent.

I disagree with the assumptions, however.

Those words should have been in parentheses. My assumptions are based off of my doctors recommendations.

If you understand Yiddish I'd advise you to listen to Hershel Meisels lectures, you'll be shocked/amazed.

It makes so much sense all he says, he might not be right 100% but not much less.

It's נכרים דברי אמת,

Yea, It's נכרים דברי אמת for the Yiddish speaking Kol Mevaser listeners, but doesn't even penetrate outside of the insular bubble.

My take is that as long as they're eating a  nutritious diet that's good enough for the average healthy child.

We were debating about kids vitamins which are meant to supplement what they get dont get from foods because their diets are usually more limited. Specifically iron.
How about vitamin D.
My kid's doctor will argue it's a must even for me!

Meh. Seems like a medical fad. Give it a couple years.

Never met someone who got enough Vitamin D that their doctor required. 
Not with Diet, or with sunshine etc.
So yes many doctors will argue that.

Although I voted no...
Their Doc has never mentioned giving them extra vitamins.
