No more sweets

My kids got up on a chair to get a container full of sweets I had been put away. Of course they ate the sweets and my wee one became a sugar rash monster this evening. I had enough. I mean, ENOUGH.

She kept demanding silly things and threw tantrums. I know it's my fault as a parent. But I was often powerless because of their father and many other people who think it's a nice thing to give kids sweets. They don't know what kind of hard time I have to go through when my wee one turns into a monster. Telling her not to touch sweets doesn't do anything because she has no willpower like somebody I knew.

From now on, they are not allowed to eat any sugary sweets except as a little treat in weekend. I won't buy or let them buy such rubbish any more. I'll have to buy and make some healthy snacks. Hopefully this time I'll be able to stick to what I've just decided.
