Just that really it drives me up the bloody wall!

My youngest DD has only just turned 1 and they are constantly asking can she have chocolate, cake and biscuits when we go round. My answer is always no 😡 They call me a health freak, to some extent I am a bit and you know what I don’t care.

I'm constantly battling my husband. He's a gummy bear parent whereas I give my younger 2 fruit veg and salad items all the time (a typical mean is veg fingers with mixed veg for my 7 year old or chicken and veg pasta for my 1 year old). My husband keeps giving my 1 year old white chocolate and stuff. If I go shopping but loads of fruit and veg. If he goes shopping it's crisps and chocolate!

My mum and sister are the same! I actually caught my mum trying to give my dd some chocolate cake. She was only 8 months old.

The other day I caught my sister trying to give dd (2) some fizzy pop. I was livid and got made out to be some sort of freak. She fed her kids McDonald’s from 8 months old 🙄
