Some of you might be getting annoyed with me settling family feuds by getting your backing on some our household disputes (if so please ignore and move on..if not thank you in advance for your help). I must say that it's not always gone my way and have graciously held my hands up (ok...so actually, I've slumped off in a huff but not brought it up again!).
So treats...I buy them for my wife and children sometimes on my way home e.g. the odd chocolate bar here, or tub of ice-cream there. There are a couple of things that are starting to annoy me:
1. I now arrive home and the first thing I hear is: What you got in your bag? (from the son...still young and I've got time to work on his grammar) - If the answer is 'nothing' I just get a collective tutting and sighing!
2. If the kids don't finish their treats, my wife eats them (even after she's eaten her own)
3. If I buy a multipack of treats...I still expect these to be seen as treats i.e. I came downstairs this morning and my wife was finishing off the last Magnum for breakfast and couldn't see why I was slightly annoyed (she does this with anything - muffins, Haribo etc
Ok - rant over
Am I justified to be annoyed or should I go with the fact that it's the thought that counts???
