Parents!
How do you keep yourselves from eating your children's snacks?? Or don't you? I am addicted to Annie's summer strawberry fruit snacks. No kids here but I am constantly buying everything by this brand.

Re: Parents!
Ugh, I'm so bad about it. I bought pirate's booty for DD and DH and I ate almost the whole bag.  I try and get the individual snack packs- I'm less likely to grab one and it makes it easier when I pack them for daycare.
I just got the Annie's graham crackers- a mix of honey, chocolate and chocolate chip- they're so good!

I don't. In fact I'll buy things with the kids in mind and sometimes I eat it all before they even had some.

Re: Parents!
OMG it's bad. When she was a baby I would buy her the Gerber Yogurt melts and end up eating the whole bag myself. They are SOOO good. I finally started buying a bag for her and a bag for me and I would take mine to work!
And when I make her Mac and Cheese I always have to "taste it to make sure it isn't too hot". Once half the bowl is gone, I deem it safe for he to eat!

All the time. I never snacked until having kids. Pirates booty, pretzels, puffs. Everything.
I buy the snack bag size so at least it's portion controlled.

Yep. My kids are not great eaters so I rarely buy things like cookies bc they may get one or two as treats after dinner and I eat the rest when they're not around bc they'll go stale by the time my kids earn them by actually eating their dinner. I really just doing buy them snacks aside from goldfish (I eat those too)

Re: Parents!
The snacks we have now are pretty much the same snacks we would have had in the house pre-kids - pretzels, cheese and crackers, yogurt. I never got into the baby-specific or toddler-specific food stuff so DC usually just eats the same foods we do. DC is still young and pretty much under parental influence only. I could totally see this becoming a bigger issue when I have teenage kids who want all of the crap from the supermarket and i end up eating fruit rollups and doritos all day.

I'm the worst! They always ask me, "Mommy, what happened to my {insert snack name}" after I finish the whole box and I'm like, "Oh I'm sorry, I think Daddy ate them" lol.

I actually don't eat her stuff, probably because I give her healthy food I have no interest in.
Except for Annie's bunnies. Those bunnies are like crack. I'm eating chocolate ones right now.

Oh yes, I think I eat less junk now because I don't want them to eat it (or don't want to clean the chocolate mess).

If I buy that stuff for son I typically get to it before him. Especially the Annie's graham bunnies. I don't like the cheese ones though.

My dd loves salty snacks like chips, pretzels, goldfish, popcorn, etc. And she likes fruity/sugary candy like lolipops. All stuff I'm not a fan of bc I have a major sweet tooth but mostly for chocolate, which it seems she will eat but doesn't ever ask for. So luckily I just don't crave her favorite snacks at all. Meanwhile I pretty much ate all the chocolate candy that was in her Easter basket and she didn't even notice.

Re: Parents!
Not easy!
Honestly the best practice is to not have processed snacks even for kids!
DD hid her jelly beans once under her pillow. She said it was so I wouldn't eat them!

So true! I tried to eat a bag of pretzels at the beach yesterday and they all came running from different directions. The sandy little hand stationed in the bag was great portion control
I stopped buying a lot of processed snacks but the few that I do are in bins out of sight!

Re: Parents!
I don't have kids. I finished a box of Annie's summer strawberry gummy bunnies and I'm pissed. I want more. I asked dh to get me an ice pop from the kitchen last night and he asked me if he could have one. I didn't know if I should've laughed or cried that he feels the need to ask me if its ok. Yikes
