Hideous dilemma

[helliebobs]

My friend has bought my son a wee Lindt chocolate bunny for Easter. It's sat chilling nicely in the fridge. Thing is, I would really really like some chocolate right now and I have nothing else in the house.
Should I eat it, considering that a) I have no intention of replacing it and b) the thing is so small it probably won't be enough to satisfy my needs and will therefore make me want more?
What would you do? And does it make me a bad mother for even contemplating this?

[taliesin238]

I think it would be alright for you to eat it ONLY if you replace it with exactly the same as soon as you can. Otherwise i wouldnt bother, its your sons, he will be chuffed with it and its hardly worth it if you dont think it will feed your chocolate needs. Can you not pop to the shop to get some chocolate? Make yourself the biggest hot chocolate drink or set about making a cake or sommit.

I would eat it. I don't have children, bobs, so I can't imagine how this might affect my conscience, but I know that I steal Lolly's sweets often enough guilt free. Do it! :)

[helliebobs]

I can't go out to the shop otherwise I really would be a bad mother! Only me and him here :)
He's not even 1 yet so he won't know any different, is that a good enough reason? :)

[mistys]

Does your son know it's his??

If not then EAT IT!!!! He'll never know, and your be doing him a favour by saving him eating the unhealthy food!

[whiskeysheri]

Oh, and I wouldn't replace it, either. :) Don't worry, I'll bring him some choccie when I come and see you both. :)

[helliebobs]

Squidger, you meanie! Lolly is at an age where she knows what's going on, the pest is wise but not that wise :)

[mistys]

Oh he'll never even know if he's that age!
I say scoff the thing, and enjoy!

[helliebobs]

Mistys I like your style and your reasoning!

[weeal]

eat it hon and savour every bit tee hee

[helliebobs]

You needn't have replied weeal, I already knew what your answer would be!!!! ;)

[whiffey]

Eat it, then replace it, and while you are about it, stock up on Lindt Lindor bars, the ones in the red wrapping, they are wicked.

[helliebobs]

Thanks whiffey I already look like a weeble, don't need any more on my hips thanks!

[weeal]

have I got a reputation then helliebobs?

its fudge im eating tonight, wee change from the jelly stuff

[cazzz1975]

eat it and buy him something he will love tomorrow, not to mention stocking up on some choccy!

[unrulyjulie]

helliebobs!!!! I'm shocked at you young lady!! :-o


that poor little man being deprived of LINDT!!!! Mind you, if he gets a taste for the good stuff, you're doomed.,that choc aint the cheapest, eating it might save you a fortune in the future.
Lindt is my fave choc so i say, keep it away from the kids! Its grown up chocolate!

[hippyhoppy]

I agree...eat it, as i's Lindt it'll be too rich for him any way. Buy him a bag of chocolate buttons, I'm sure he'll appreciate that more...

[bensmum]

Definitely eat it. Sweets are not good for your son's teeth so you are doing him a favour really!
