[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the people saying it’s horrible to eat your kid’s food, I am guessing they are underestimating the quantities here.  If somebody sends a perishable treat that will go stale before the child in question can finish it all, it’s pretty normal to just put it in the pantry for everyone to have at.

Here’s how we handle treats in my house:
Each of my kids has a mason jar with their name on it and after any big holiday, we toss any old expired candy still in the jar and replace with their favorite stuff from the new pile.  Anything that doesn’t fit gets tossed.  They always have their candy in the house, but it’s not so much that it’s overwhelming  to keep track of (or so much that it takes them 20 minutes to pick a treat).  They get something sweet on e a day or so—usually popsicles or sliced apple with peanut butter dip and I’ll mix in mini choc chips, but twice a week or so they have something from their little jar and we’ve never run out.  Between holidays, birthday parties, random school stuff—there’s always and influx of candy so we get more than they could ever eat having a normal sized dessert nightly.[/quote]

That's a great idea![/quote]
