We're off on a day trip on the train. DH bought two big bags of sweets for the journey - fair enough. We don't have sweets in the house much at all and it's a bit of a novelty.
But the minute we pulled out of the station - at TEN PAST NINE - he opens the sweets and he and the kids start eating them like they've been on rations for 10 years.
I said I thought it was a bit early but he said 'they were for the journey and this is now the journey' like he's a year 7 on a trip to the zoo with no parents watching.
Partly I'm laughing as it's so ridiculous and partly I'm annoyed as he can't see my point. And partly I feel Victorian and disapproving with a mouth like a cat's bottom.
Is there a 'too early' to eat sweets (apart from Christmas Day when anything goes I guess?)
I promise I won't stress about this all day btw - was just interested in other people's Rules of Sweets. Our kids are 10 & 14. DH is old enough to know better.
