Eh, I've just eaten all of DS' sweets....

[SundaysGirl]

Maoam is the name of them. Chewy sweet little stripes which are firghteningly addictive. I've just scoffed the rest of them and now feel just a little bit sick.

Erm I also know it's unreasonable to eat a 6 year olds sweets, I will replace tomorrow before he notices.

Just wanted to see if I am the only sweet-stealing goblin mother? Just to appease the sugar-laden guilts......

I do that too when there's nothing adult snacky in the house. Like you I replace them before they notice - not that they do as I'm the only one who has access to their snacks. I sometimes raid their piggy banks too, but always put the money back later usually with some interest

me too , all the time

I don't call it stealing their sweets, in our house it's referred to as paying mummy tax.

I have my own cubboard for my chocolate and sweets and the little buggers steak my treats! They keep theirs hidden upstairs, they learnt early on about 'mummy tax'

DD won a Lindt chocolate bear in a tombola and is already on its 3rd incarnation and she hasn't tried a morsel yet (cruel double-standard mum)

I've eaten the chocolate I bought my sister for Christmas. Stupid PMT

See I could resist the Haribo...they put something in these new one's he's just switched to and once I've had one I need to eat about twenty.

I better make sure Santa brings an alternate for his stocking I think...

I have a charge for opening crisp or sweet packets for the DCs, each packet I open I take one crisp/sweet.

All ok, until my eldest decided to tell her teacher

SAving them from themselves- that's myexcus

Maoam are like crack. You can't just have one!

I've started on the Christmas Toblorones this morning, so YANBU
