To think dd eats her selection box in the wrong order

[BadTimesAtTheElRoyale]

My Dd (10) starts with her least favourite chocolate bar (fudge) and works her way up to get favourite. I always did it in reverse. I obviously need instant gratification and she prefers the anticipation which may say a lot about our personalities but the question is AIBU or is she. YABU save the best til last YANBU eat the best one first.

She’s a smart kid

Well I would do it like you. But I think she does it in a better way!

Depends if you're sharing. If i have a box that's all mine i eat least to best. If I'm sharing it then i eat my favs before anyone else gets their grubby mitts on them 😂😅

Yep I'd do the same as your dd. Save the best til last!

Given I might have to share, I'd have to go favourite first.

Lockdown madness is setting in OP!!

Always eat your favourites first. If you leave them till last you might not get them.

I should have clarified no sharing required.

Yabu, but she is also wrong, because fudges are delicious.

Jovialnickname maybe but I honestly thought that everyone did what I did as a kid til she rocked up 😂

The ability to delay gratification is a sign of having good self-control and ability to control oneself. It is like the marshmallow test they do on young children.

Your child will go far!

Sorry OP but your choices actually mean the same.
I always save the best till last.

Not since palm oil- like eating a toad

Your DD is correct. What's her favourite? I agree fudge is the worst - although my younger sister likes it so I could sometimes broker a swap...

I always save the best till last.

Maskingforit the personality part of it did interest me. I also thought it meant I avoided things I don't like (true) and she prefers to deal with them head on. Who knew a selection box could be a litmus test 😂

Toominty chocolate buttons in this selection box.

The fudge is best.

I was babysitting a 4 year old once and I served him fish fingers, chips and peas for dinner. At first he said he was going to save his peas because they are his favourite but after some consideration decided to eat his peas first in case something happened that prevented him from eating his peas, like what if he died. I can't fault his logic. Peas first.

You eat your favourites then abandon the rest. Life is too short to eat chocolates you don't really like.

It's not about delayed gratification - it's knowing that some CF might steal the best ones before you get to them.

Never eat chocolate you don't really like. Eat your favourites and bin the rest. You'll be happier and not develop beard habits of eating things you don't really want!

I'm with your DD, if you eat the best first the later chocolates taste rubbish afterwards.

I always save the best til last with everything - the anticipation makes it so much better!

Save the best til last. Always.
