Giving your child the odd bit of sugar doesn't make you a bad parent. If were honest we all do it, so why the need to lie about it and make those that openly admit to giving their children the odd chocolate digestive or glass of coke feel like they are damaging their childrens health in some way.
This is what my 3 dd's have had to eat today, feel free to point out where I'm going wrong.
