Chocolate
Trying to control the amount of chocolate children eat during the Easter Period is impossible. I buy them an egg each, and so does their father and Gary (boyfriend.) Then so do my parents, and my ex in-laws, both brothers (though it’s their wives that actually do it,) a couple of my friends,an old family friend and then one or two of their school friends.
It all amounts to a bucket-load of Easter eggs for each of them. I ration them but the sheer amount means chocolate treats for about six weeks or letting them go mad and eat them all in a week, so that we can get back to a reasonably healthy eating regime.
I try to stop them eating their way through their chocolate mountain too quickly while they try to negotiate for more and more.
We’re all relieved when the chocolate season is finally over!
