In our household treats are only given to the children after eating sensibly for the entire day.
However I am amazed that the households we visit just hand over sweets and chocolate willy nilly. I have before now shouted across a room ‘No’. It’s more about looking after teeth than diet if they are active.
When my father was a child he would have Yorkshire puds filled with syrup for pudding.
As a kid I used to regularly come home from school and scoff a bowl of weetabix smothered in sugar before I had my dinner.
That didn’t make me fat.
Too true.
No point getting uppity about it, it’s only once a year!
Otherwise you risk sounding like a staunch teetotaller who glares with disdain when someone sips a small sherry.
