to be disappointed by chocolate scandal

A friend brought some Thornton's chocolates round last week sometime. Great, my wife and I thought. Now, the Premium Collection has a heart at it's centre. "Let's share the heart on valentine's day" we thought. We eat half the box over a couple of days leading up to valentine's day but on the day itself, I arrive home from work and all chocs are gone, heart included. She apologises, buys another box, we agree to share the heart again. We eat about half the chocs together then today again, the remaining half box and heart are no longer there. Her excuse: chocolate eating necessity through breastfeeding. So my question is: Can breastfeeding produce such immense chocolate cravings as to absolve her of blame? If not, what should I do? Should there be some sort of retribution or punishment? Wink If so, what?

Yes. The punishment should be for her to buy yet another box and have to scoff the whole lot. That'll teach her Grin

Consider yourself lucky to have had any of them. What you should do is actually buy her another box as your friend bought the 1st box & your wife had to buy the 2nd box herself. Grin

If you didn't eat the heart on valentines then I think the moment has passed tbh.

Buy a yorkie and hide while you eat it?

Having eaten the last of my daughter's box (same box as yours) and gone to the Coop to replace it, I cannot possibly comment. I am not breastbreeding - just greedy.

My daughter was puzzled by the new full box but happy!

Never underestimate how much chocolate it takes to be able to breastfeed feed a baby. It is insane how much you crave it.

It has been scientifically proven that breastfeeding requires vast quantities of chocolate as it stimulates the production of oxytocin, which is one of the hormones involved in the let down reflex.

You should be ashamed of yourself, Nicebloke!
