Before sitting down to write this, I stopped in the kitchen, reached to the very back of a cabinet no one under the age of 5 could possibly reach, and grabbed a handful of Halloween candy. (We all buy it weeks in advance so we can make sure it tastes OK, right?) Is it dramatic to say I sleep better at night knowing I have a secret stash of my favorite Snacks tucked away where no one, even my loving husband, will ever find them? Yes. Is it true? Also yes. And it turns out I’m not alone... here are Confessions from 10 other parents who carry on the proud tradition of hiding snacks from their families.
