Just bumped into a mum from school in Morrisons and her trolley was absolutely overflowing with crappola - massive multipacks of crisps, cakes, biscuits, ice creams, bottles of Coke & Fanta - absolutely loads of it
I said "oh are you having a party?"
She said "no just half term, got to treat them haven't we"
Then I felt like a bit of a dick
It had never occurred to me to eat any differently at half term than any other time
I'm not one of those 'my kids only eat granola & quinoa and only drink fairy tears' people, we have biscuits and things in, and of course DC probably eat a few more biscuits or an extra few packs of crisps and things in half term, but I wouldn't go out and buy loads of stuff specifically for them to gorge on
Do you all do this? Am I horribly mean?

Do you let the kids eat whatever they want during half terms?
