I finally found a craving that I could indulge in with no interference from my children: A succulent ruby red grapefruit( only a pregnant women could feel so passionate about a grapefruit!) Jennah took one lick and puckered up with a "yuck". After that reaction Susanna immediately exclaimed " I don't like it". I was thrilled. I can eat a whole ruby red without sharing one juicy bite. Well that is until yesterday when Susanna decided she wanted a taste. I figured no harm she will not like it.... I was wrong. Susanna ate half my Ruby Red (she didn't grasp the concept that grapefruits are only for mommies). There is no indulgence left that is truly mine, unless I convince my children that ice cream is yucky.

Oh Corinne, I'm sorry to hear about Susanna's love for grapefruit! Amazing, though. I agree with you, mother's rarely have indulgences all of their own. Someone is always wanting to share, or we are giving away. But good thing we have such great kids & husbands to love and share with us, right!?
My sister-in-law once hid under a blanket to eat her yogurt so she wouldn't have to share with her kids! I've been known to hide in the pantry to eat a snack that I don't want to share. :)
I hide my sweets from Gabe all the time. I don't even feel guilty doing it because if he gets something he likes...he doesn't share either. The best part is when he catches me in the kitchen eating something. Yesterday he did that and said what are you eating? I replied by saying, "oh, just some food". He said open your mouth mommy let me see. I opened and he saw dark brown all over my teeth. Then he said, mommy can I have some chocolate too? Jeez...kids are smart!
Hi Corrine! Just found you through your big sis.
I LOVE grapefruit... unfortunately, so do the kids I live with. I feel your pain. I really do hate sharing my nummies with my little one. :( Fortunately, I play the forgetful mommy-brain card: I break it in half to share with someone, and absentmindedly eat both halves. Oops! :)
