I tell my children and my husband that they can eat whatever they like from the fridge and pantry as long as they eat some of it, not all of it.
I may as well be talking to the wall.
I’m personally offended by their combined habit of eating all the fun-size Mars Bars, every last Malteser and all the Hokey Pokey ice-cream. If they left just one Mars Bar, just a handful of Maltesers or even a small scoop of Hokey Pokey ice-cream (with at least two actual hokey pokey bits in it) there never would have been an issue. I wouldn’t have had to take this so far.
It wouldn’t have become so serious.
Here are my 8 tried and true BEST hiding spots for your favourite treats so your children and husband don’t eat them all, ensure you can continue to love them.
