To punch my sugar nazi virtue signalling twat of a brother in his smug face?

[Chinnychinnychinnychib]

For offering my kids the Easter eggs bought by other family members for his kids (my nephews) because his kids ‘aren’t allowed chocolate’ (passive aggressive subtext: unlike mine, who are allowed, nay encouraged, to destroy their bodies with the ravages wrought by the cocoa bean, due to my inferior, profligate parenting)
Well fucking bully for you, big man, but a) fuck off b) no one cares if your kids have chocolate or not but it would be considerate to TELL PEOPLE so they can get them something that IS acceptable and will know their relatives cared enough to get them something c) if you really can’t bear to have chocolate in your house can I suggest food banks, care homes, churches or any other deserving cause might be more appropriate than making the point that you are (in your eyes) a better parent than me. Oh and that whilst your children are too precious to be sullied by sugar, saturated fat and cocoa, it’ll do for mine.
What a tool.

Make a set of brass knuckles out of Haribo rings and then punch him in the face.

Sit back and enjoy the long game here because once those kids are teenagers and have access to their own money they're going to snorting Sherbet Fountains and bathing in Fanta.

I almost weed myself in public reading that 😂

Yip, @ewitsahooman is right

I was sort of one of those children and the moment I left home I ended up mainlining sweets and pot noodles so badly 20 years on I can still barely control my impulses.

Snatch them out of his hands and devour them while they are still in their packaging. Make grunting noises. Then howl.

Seriously though, why wouldn't he let your family know that he doesn't give the kids chocolate? I'd be a bit pissed off if I was buying an Easter egg every year for my GC/neice/cousin or whatever, only to find out that they never received them and thought I had never bothered to get them anything. Unless he's showing the kids the easter eggs and then taking them away??

I gave a neighbour some games etc for vising relatives DC, and a little net of chocolates each.
The games were returned after their visit, and also the chocolate.
They has eaten too much sugar apparently. I just thought it was rude, ffs, just take it home and have it later, or give it to them! The kids looked healthy and active.
Your brother sounds a right twunt.

Some people really do love to make a song and dance out of their parenting choices don't they. I've had it before when my son was eating his mainly beige dinner and a friend put on this massive performance getting out all the various coloured pureed veg her daughter was having... well bully for you, my kid is fussy... yours eats the bark chopping at the playground so puss off.

I'd have made a massive performance out if eating it for myself to be honest. Wanker.

I assume because if he said he didn’t want chocolate, he’d lose the opportunity to remind us of how much better he is than us? He probably takes the kids round Asda on a field trip to see what the poor common children eat, so they can shake their heads sadly before going home via Waitrose for quinoa for sups. Having used hand sanitizer so they don’t catch common, obv.

My sister can be a bit like this - luckily her children are a lot younger than mine so it didn’t get too competitive

Brilliant 👏 👏 👏

Seriously, rise above it, OP. He sounds like a knob. Do not rise to the bait thats his whole point!

My sil ever gave dn sweets or chocolate, she doesn’t even have sugar for tea/coffee in the house. Well that worked as her youngest is a drug dealer, and her older son doesn’t speak to her and actively avoids her.

Fair enough don’t give them sweets, but don’t run other people’s noses in it. Quite frankly he deserves a Haribo knuckle duster (best comment ever).

Is it just me who'd just take them & say thanks?

YANBU! I'll hold him down for ya!

Poor kids not being allowed chocolate on Easter. I know not everyone can eat it (allergies, etc) but this is for no other reason than 'sugar is evil, burn it in hell' nonsense which can get tae fuck. (People never used to eat sugar! No, they ate honey instead, which is just as bad for your teeth, etc. They used to call diabetes 'the honey disease'.)

Oh my ex dsil is like this with her 2 dc. She's an absolutely NIGHTMARE with food and sugary treats. Hadn't seen them for a while as they moved abroad but had a smug inward chuckle to myself when we visited and constantly watched dneice (8 yo) steal chocolate out of the fridge. Interestingly she's by far the largest child in the family.

I think the smugness has bit my sil on the ass!!

His children will rebel massively when they’re older and eat nothing but sugar and fast food just because they can.

Your restraint in not melting down said Easter Eggs, pouring them into a jug and drenching your DB is admirable, OP.

I had a child of a sugar-nazi parent at a sleepover once. It ended with me transporting the child home in a pool of her own sick at midnight. 6 years later, child is still known in this house as "vomiting Sophie".

That's what happens when you ban an entire, tasty, food group for your kids. The other children at the sleepover who had been allowed reasonable access to things like haribo, chocolate and sweet popcorn weren't the ones throwing up all night.

There was a sugar Nazi in our kids friendship group. Her kids were lovely but she was a self righteous bore. Her kids her rules, but stop boring people to death with the doom and gloom - it's a mini packet of haribo not methamphetamine. She would only eat her own food at parties and refuse party bags with anything edible or with 'sweet poison'. She boasted that her children were so 'in tune' to her sugar free lifestyle they refused sugar by their own free will. Well she should included the kids in that boast because at one party, her six year old was caught going through the party box hidden under a table for later and double fisting sherbet fountains like his life depended on it.

I'll second playing the long game. His kids will be wacked off their tits on McDonalds as soon as they hit the age where they have their own money.

Pmsl!

My brother behaves like this. He came to visit us once and as he lives abroad I wasn’t actually aware that he was a sugar nazi, I gave his son a Fruit Shoot and my DB carried on like I’d given him heroine. Totally ridiculous and over the top.

Oh they’re allowed honey. And Yoyo Bears. And Organix. And Little Yoe yoghurts. Cos there’s no sugar because they’re ORGANIC you know.

Get a chocolate fountain... & invite his kids for a lovely afternoon of chocolate (and the odd strawberry!) bliss!

Double fisting sherbert fountains!!!
