Yes, I’m one of those bad mothers that eats their children’s candy - just the chocolate. Please don’t tell them! If I am out of chocolate and they have ever so much….I eat it when they aren’t looking. I do! My husband does NOT; and semi-frowns at me when I do. (So, I sneak it when he’s gone.) He knows I do and will use it as leverage in other conversations…”well, I’m not the one that eats the kids candy…” I so regret having confessed to him. I thought he might be sympathetic to my plight; or go out and buy me some chocolate so that I wouldn’t eat the kid’s chocolate. Alas, he can resist the temptation that I constantly fall prey to.
I have tons of reasons…First, I’m already grown and my body is already going bad; but the children need to eat as healthy as possible. ….If I take one out of each of their stashes they won’t notice….I need it more than they do (to stay sane)….If it makes me happy, they will be happier….If they are 2 or younger they never figure it out anyways unless I’m sloppy and get caught eating it.
Also in my defense - I have lived my whole life within half an hour of four (4!) factories that make chocolate. How could I not be a chocoholic!?
I once went three whole days without chocolate! Count ‘em 1 - 2 - 3! Yup! I did it! Never again. That was my limit and the 3 days felt like 3 years to me.
WARNING: I don’t think this will work with older children. Only works with children under age 5.

I’ll have to remember these tricks for whenever Caleb starts getting chocolate. My husband is usually the one who sneaks food/snacks, though, so he probably already has this figured out and just never told me!
Of course, he blames the cat, and is a terrible liar, so I always know where the rest of my dessert has gone, LOL!

I know I’m almost a year late in commenting on this but when I started reading your blog I didn’t start from the beginning so I missed some posts. I just have to say that I’m glad I’m not the only one who eat my children’s chocolate. The other day my 4 year old saw the paper from some chocolate I had eaten and she questioned me about it. I just smiled at her. Haha. Busted!
