To threaten to castrate my DP if he keeps feeding DD chocolate/sweets and ice cream

[lucyellensmum]

I KNOW she's his little princess, i KNOW he will do anything to make her happy, i KNOW he cannot bear to see her cry (and so does SHE!), but he has been "working from home" this week, and yesterday looked after her because i was unwell, but that girl is going to be sugar dependant by the end of the week i swear. Its not jsut this week either, its all the time, its actually really pissing me off.

I'm not precious about sweets, in fact, i probably let her have too much, but he bought her fucking (sorry) cupa chup lollies, i found three of them in the push chair pocket (i binned them). The first thing she says in the morning is "i want moo bar" her word for chocolate. She strops on if i say no "i dont love my mummy INDEED!!" not entirely sure where the indeed comes from.

Can he not see he is doing her no favours whatsoever.

I'm sorry that your dh is upping the sugar intake this week but I laughed out loud at your dd saying "i dont love my mummy INDEED!!"

I have the same problem! My dh bought our 2.5 yo ds a twirl for breakfst at the airport because "it's the holidays"! He also went shopping last week, which was useful but bought quite a lot of crap, including a huge bag of haribo. It immediately turned my usually lovely ds now 3.3 into a screaming whinge bag, trying to bargain for sweets everytime he did something. You can end up just living from sweet to sweet so I binned them too. I told my dh to buy the rubbish separately out the house and hopefully he will.
I too think sweets are fine in moderation and kids love them, but not in the house, it's too hard for kids to resist wanting them. It's same for me, if there's a load of crisps or biscuits in I'll eat them over healthier food whereas I won't go out of my way to have them elsewhere.

YA SOOOOO NBU, my dh does the same thing, i was livid to get up on sunday morning (my lie in day) and find he'd fed the kids KITKATS for their 'breakfast'

My problem is DH stuffs all the sweets and choc down his own throat....none left for dd
YANBU btw.

I put my foot down today, and funnily enough - its like i have a different (well behaved and happy) child

Oh I love the 'indeed'
