I think there must be a rule somewhere that when mom's become grandmothers all rules get thrown out the window.
When I was a child my parents belonged to a food coop. I remember eating tofu and puffed wheat. I remember fresh vegetables from our garden and sweets only on special occasions. I remember hearing the ice cream man and knowing that we didn't eat expensive ice cream from a truck when we had perfectly good frozen yogurt in the freezer.
So why is it that now that my mom is a grandmother she delights in feeding my children junk? Why is it that one dessert isn't enough? Why is it that the freshfoodaholic from my childhood finds nothing wrong with a chocolate bar washed down with chocolate milk for breakfast?
I'm thinking that second dessert wouldn't be such a bad idea...but the children have to spend the night at mema's in order for it to happen. There's no way they are setting foot in my house on that sugar high!

loved this post. Yeah what is it?
I can count on one hand the number of times I was allowed chocolate as a child except for a small amount at Easter and Christmas.
Now my mom shoves chocolate in my child's mouth every chance she gets. My cupboard is full of chocolate she has brought me.
Who is this woman and what has she done with my mother?
Yeah ~ got the same problem here. If it's not sweets it's presents ... always a present. And they say our generation have issues ... black kettles!
Oh my goodness I forgot to mention the presents!! They can't go anywhere without buying some cheap plastic something for them....
