if oyu give oyur kids no sugar or sweets ever

[LadyCodofCOdford]

what do you do when they get older?
i mean do you stop them till they are 18 secretly scoffing choc when they are in bed
do you give them vgradual exposure ot it like a drug meanign that the sweets become a sought after object of desire

or what

LOL at "18 secretly scoffing choc when they are in bed".

Personally I don't get why people do this "no sweets" thing. I think everything in moderation is ok but each to their own and all that. My friend told me that her parents where so very strict about not allowing sweets that she and her sister ended up stealing them from a shop.

becasue i think vvq that bannign is a silly way to do it
id do a little and often
mind you byt he time we got to ds3 there was no hope

mine have a sweet ( small snakc size) when they get in form school

Ours have chocolate but not sweets. We tell them Jelly Babies etc are made with ground up pig's/cow's feet. They're not too keen to try them.

We don't generally have crisps, either. They just don't seem like food to me, iyswim.

socci snort
do youthink that may come up in court
" you worhsip i was denied sweets a sa kid so i nicked some to make up for it"

no we dont eat cripss more htn once a week
i do liek em with a drink though

Well, I'm not trying for no-sugar, I'm just trying for good food. The biscuits and cakes I do generally have some nutritional value (egg, nuts, courgette, carrot, banana, peanut butter, raisins, oatmeal, pumpkin, whatever).

dh bought crisps and thought he hid them on top of the cupboards - in the space between them and the ceiling.

dd1 walked in, pointed at them and said, 'i want crisps.'

wtf?!

she also randomly comes out w/'I want a chippy' or 'I want McDonald's'

a true daughter of Scotland, that one :o

she's a rake, though. DH is a rake and she is the spittin' image of him.

Is this thread because I said I couldn't potty train DS1 because he doesn't know what sweets are?

There's a good reason for this. It's nothing to do with being smug. I am simply faster than he is to the chocolates

i am prerpetuall yamazed hoe many mners use chippys
YUK

(Oh, DS1 is a rake so far, and DS2 is too young to call so far.)

not relaly hm
but sort of i suppose maybe

If you don't allow your chld to have sweets when they are young they will seek revenge and own their own factory when they are older just like Charlie Bucket!!!!!

HM, I rewarded DS1 for pooing in the potty with ... a trip to the laundromat. He loved washing machines at that age.

I think they were very young at the time cod - she said they were so desperate and couldn't see any other way. She's the most model citizen you could ever imagine now though.

We have a nice chippy down the end of the street. We go less than once a month, I think.

i always ask the mums who deny kdis chocolate if htey dont eat ti too
oh of course not

I admit to a small amount of "eek" where food was concerned before DS1 was one - he didn't have sugar till his birthday cake. Then I relaxed a bit. However, yesterday I offered him a party ring and he said "nooooooooo" and waved his hands at me in horror (Reader, I ate it).

However, he'll bite your arm off for a Wotsit or Pringle...

no nice chippys dont exist
yuk yuk yuk
go once a decade

LOVE party rings

I've relaxed on (good, dark) chocolate. Still hate milkybar and its ilk.

I remember brownie leader telling me that the 3 girls at camp that were scarily obsessed with sweets and cakes were all dd's of dentists,who had requested their dd's not have them .Brown owl just smiled sweetly and mumbled "yeh right"

Not in England they don't Scotland has brilliant chippies
