My husband is a complete muppet ...
He walks into the room finishing off a chocolate biscuit with chocolate smeared around his mouth (yes, you would think that by the age of 43 he could eat a chocolate biscuit without getting it all around his face)
Zoe then pipes up "can I have a chocolate biscuit". His response is "No". Cue lots of tears from Zoe. I mean seriously, did he actually think it was fair to stand there eating a chocolate biscuit in front of a 4 yr and tell her she can't have one. What a stupid thing to do, surely anyone who has any experience of parenting would know that you eat the biscuit in the kitchen whilst pretending to look in a cupboard.

I dont have one yet, but from the experience of my niece and nephew I know to sneak one out of the tin, shove it in quick and show no evidence! Silly men!
I often get the 'what are you eating mummy' to which my standard answer is 'celery' !
Ha ha that is very foolish of him, and your cupboard line made me laugh out loud!
this is the most brilliant parenting idea I've ever heard!
It doesn't work with Zoe, she says "erm, no mummy, I can smell chocolate" ...
She's got a good nose! I can see H doing this at a later date when W is old enough to ask for things. Men are truely a law unto themselves!
I'm super wary of this if I'm snaffling chocolate as Jude can't have it which is just plain mean on him if he sees me!
