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.

My DPs were totally against all fizzy stuff / sweets and fast food when I was a child.

I now drink at least several cans of coke a day ( I know I disgust myself) and eat lots of sweet stuff

Interesting my DM now think it's perfectly acceptable to feed the DC whatever and whenever they like

I agree with all the PPs who’ve said that denying access to certain things, ie sweets and chocolate creates problems later on.

My mum was, and still is, a health food nazi - she really carries it to extremes and denies herself anything sweet unless it’s a tiny square of a 75% bar of dark chocolate once a day. She used to send me and dbro to school with those packs of salt and shake crisps, only she’d open them before hand and take the salt packet out. It was like eating cardboard. We were hardly ever allowed any treats or sweets growing up, perhaps once in a blue moon we’d have choc coated raisins or those packs of fruit and nuts with little chocolate drops in.

Now my sweet tooth is insane and I find it incredibly difficult to regulate myself - I have zero willpower.

It may be a coincidence but I’m sure there’s a connection! (Or I might just be a greedy bitch )

I am a wee bit like this in that I ask my mum to buy my kids a book for Easter. But hear me out. My MIL came round last week with a bag of chocolate each for my kids. Each bag had 7....yes 7 Easter eggs. I love her. She is kind and generous and beautiful but she buys my kids so much fecking sugar. We haven't actually finished the chocolate Santa's and selection boxes she bought them at Christmas. So in order to maintain in-law harmony MY mum gets them a book.

One of the mums at baby group recently made a big song and dance about her son having his first biscuit (a digestive) at 11 months old. My 6 month old was nomming on a custard cream at the time

MIL has been known to give the grandchildren cups of sugar to eat before now. I do draw the line there 😂

Can’t stand people like this. I’d be tempted to give my DC a jar of Nutella and a spoon in front of them whenever I saw them

Having just enjoyed an Easter meal being loudly judged by DSIS for letting DS have orange juice (pure sugar, which is the devil, look at the sugar content, it’s just liquid sugar) I would say YANBU at all.

My parents were sugar Nazis. I am ^well^ acquainted with carob. I also gorged and over ate myself to the point I was really quite fat. Then I discovered alcohol. Then shagging about. And then ecstasy.

Herland, same here except we still have three large gift bags full of chocolate left over from Christmas plus youngest dgc has 3 advent calendars mostly uneaten! No sugar Nazi's in our family and very few children.

Having used hand sanitizer so they don’t catch common, obv.

😅😂🤣

I know someone who doesn't let their kid have ANY fruit due to sugar content. Expect nursery to provide completely different food for them too. Such a bore!

No fruit?! That's even worse!!!! Some people are just insane. We do need some sugar in our systems so they work properly. (I fancy a grapefruit now.)
