Something I never thought I would need to do

As a parent I have found myself doing things I never used to do, or even things I thought I would never do.
For example the phrase ‘Just a minute’ was never part of my vocabulary; now it’s something I seem to utter several times a day.
I used to think that parents eating their children’s left-over food was disgusting; now I do it all the time.
And I certainly never thought I would be telling my children to eat more chocolate! But here we are in July and there are still half-eaten Easter eggs lying about. I think this one actually has a cobweb inside the box!
We deliberately didn’t get them too much chocolate this year, opting for quality over quantity, but there is still some left. I have been wondering whether I should eat some but then they would be sure to notice!

If I were to start on their chocolate it would be gone in an instant. I hope you resolve this difficulty.

Believe it or not, my son was never much into sweets, so that made life easy.

Try telling the kids that if they don't want the chocolate, you do.
