    Ok just for some light banter... Since having kids I've started taking severe pleasure in eating the things I tell my kids not to (or maybe give them on the rare occasion).
    It's like my 'inner child' is thinking 'nananenana I gave you a small packet of crisps last month and now I'm going to eat ten in one sitting while you're asleep in bed... Why? Because I can..'

    Anyone else 'broke bad' since having kids?

    Until then...... MINE!!

    I have to admit I've stolen junk food out of kids party bags when they get home.
    I'm doing it for them really!

    I used to have to pay "tax" when I came in with treats or at Halloween.

    I am 8 months pregnant and I have a serious craving for coco pops!!! So every morning last week I was sitting at the kitchen table munching into a bowl of sugar while my three year old had his porridge. I told him they were broccoli pops and he believed me.

    "no darling, this chocolate/ dessert/ ice cream has alcohol in it"
    or
    "yes you can have some, but its very spicy"

    He immediately loses interest. :P

    My toddler usually only wants fruit! :o I was in hospital for quite a while, and any time he'd come in to see me, the patients and nurses on my ward would be offering him all kinds of chocolate and other treats ... he'd refuse them all, and run straight for the fruitbowl instead! I've often eaten chocolate in front of him, and so long as he has berries or an apple or whatever he's happy.

    When myself and my sister were small, my mum was extremely strict about what we ate. We saw a picture of a lollipop in a book, and decided that lollipops were the best things in the world and we had to have them. My mum started giving us raw broccoli as dessert/treats, telling us it was a lollipop. Apparently we'd be begging her for them!
