I love the sheer volume of comments on this one! Furtive snacking is a hot topic . The funny thing is if your vice is coffee or wine, the kids are never interested anyway. Why IS that?!

This post made me laugh so hard. I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this. Everything you do or have done I've done too. .-= Marilyn´s last post ..Wanna See a Trick? =-.

This is halarious. Just today after coming home from the store I sat on the kitchen floor with my new tub of ice cream and started eating. My 2 yo must have smelled it, for she left what she was doing (which is why I took the opportunity to eat some!), found me and exclaimed, "Oh, yummy, ice cream. Me get spoon." What could I do? So we shared. Next time I'm hiding in the garage! .-= Melodie´s last post ..High Tech Breastfeeding =-.

I’ve thought about this and can already sense we’re going to have issues. On weekends my husband likes to eat PB&J with Doritos on the couch while watching TV. We haven’t really introduced peanut butter to our son, but he doesn’t know what it is, he just knows Daddy will share whatever he has with him. (Doritos have been discovered!)

I do save my Klondike bars for after his bedtime

I give you credit for no TV. But does this mean you don’t have cable or you actually have no tv?

I’m a stealth snacker myself!

I have chocolate while showering (the noise disguises the crinke of the chocolate wrapper, and I have time to savour it while the hair conditioner is doing it’s job).

I also keep the “mom snacks” in my room — I have to keep moving them as the kids and hubby find the hiding spots. Behind my sweaters in the closet, behind my PJs in the dresser, you get the idea. I don’t feel too guilty, they have lots of opportunity for social treats that I don’t. Hubby works with 59 other people so donuts are always around, and the kids are always going to parties and friend’s with treats galore!

LOVE it! I have a drawer where I keep my 95% dark chocolate bars. Luckily nobody else is really interested in them. Not sweet enough. .-= Annica´s last post ..Hippie Butter Recipe =-.

Oh, and I don't hide food much now, but with three boys over 95th percentile for size, you know I'm going to be hiding not just treats but spare loaves of bread around the house in the not-too-distant future!! .-= DaniGirl´s last post ..In which my 7 year old reveals Obama’s egregious copyright violation =-.

My takeaway from this post? “Huh, you’re short? I had always imagined you at my height (5’8″) or taller.”

With the third child, you get wiley all over again. Turns 2 tomorrow and still gets only water in his sippy cup, but we call it “juice”. One of these days he’ll catch on, but I’ll roll with it while we can!

Yep, when Angus was little and he saw us eating something, he’s immediately say “I want some dat! …what is dat?”
