Fantastic post. I too am watching the differences in my kids arise and reflecting back on my childhood in the process. My daughter, like me, likes the sweets and I have to limit. Still – I’m trying to really watch her and not project my issues onto her. This mothering thing, it’s tough!

Thanks for making me think this morning.

I think I’m going to charge interest on all the candy you “stole”.

I have 3 girls (12, 8 & 4) and Halloween is still haunting us in the form of sugar. My oldest has hers laid out in the order of which theyll be eaten for the day on her desk. The remaining goodies have been sorted and are tucked away (hoarded) in her closet. NO ONE better go in her closet! We’ve been warned. Her candy will most likely last until she receives her Easter basket. My 8 year old has “the crummy candy” left. You know, the smarties, lollipops, tootsie rolls. She is definately NOT the saver that her sister is.

I notice a significant mood change when they eat too much. I wish I could just throw it all away. I think next year I’ll put an expiration on the Halloween candy. After 7 days it goes in the trash. I offered to buy it back from them but they weren’t interested.

Thanks for anther great perspective. The sibling dynamic IS SO interesting.
