about popping candy?

[GingerSnapsBack]

My df and i were in Tesco today with my dcs and he said he'd buy them both a sweetie. This I have no problem with at all. I don't buy them sweets and we see him once a week when he always buys them one each. He took them to the sweet aisle and let them choose something. Ds wanted a wee packet of chocolate buttons. Fine. Dd wanted a flump. Again fine. Df then decides that they should both have a packet of popping candy each to which I said no as i don't think it is appropriate and is pretty disgusting imo. Df made a big hooha about it saying I was being stupid and mean not letting them have it and proceeded to buy it anyway and giving it to dcs while I was in the toilet. Aibu to think that a) I am their mother and if I say no that means no and b) I am not overreacting and being stupid to be selective in what my dcs eat. They are 3 and 4

If you need more info I need specific questions! :)

YABVU- Popping candy is the nuts

Apparently, so I've tried heard, you let it start popping in your mouth then proceeed to the blow job. DH was finding popping candy in his belly button for days

Back to Op, can't see the problem with popping candy, it's a fun sweet. And grandparents rarely listen to us parents when it comes to teir grandchildren. Pleasse don;t well on something so trivial. it's not as if he gave them brandy in milk

I'm just anxious about the pointyness of it all chipping...

I've done the whole hot and cold water malarky, that's getting old, popping candy sounds interesting just pointy.

I feel enlightened thanks chipping and 5

It probably depends how sensitive you are. One of my exes loved it, but someone once decided to try the "cold drink" one with me using wine and it BURNED! Same with tingly lubes etc.

JJ it dissolves so quickly that the pointy thing just really isn't a problem

Now where can I buy popping candy that isn't in chocolate, the kids like it ya see and we've not had it for years

They sell it in Hawkins. I may have to purchase. Night away with the fella tomorrow night

As you were.

Ah bugger, hawkins is next town and the cunting catalytic converter died on my car christmas eve

I love popping candy!

But no, your DDad shouldn't have overridden your clearly stated wishes, especially as it was for his gratification (the DCs weren't asking for it, he was just wanting the pleasure of giving them a new treat).

If an isolated incident, then probably better not to make a mountain out of a molehill.

And this won't be the only thing that your DCs might want that you find disgusting. This one is (if ingested properly) harmless. Pick your battles.

I'm sure you're not as nutty as this post makes you appear...!

Popping candy disgusting, but flumps fine? Ok...

'Choking' on popping candy (while coughing?!) Hmm, ok then, sure!

What a performance over nothing, it is utterly daft to say one sort of sweet is fine but another is the devil incarnate. I'd think you less of an idiot if you were just rabidly anti-sweets, at least there would be some logic to that. Do you arbitrarily designate all sweets as ok/not ok, or is it just popping candy you are weird about?
