The first thing he eats unsupervised is chocolate. I find that interesting. I know many kids who have chocolate in the house and yet don’t go scouring the house for it because they know it’s there.
Continuing on from the lunchbox discussion the other day. Many kids love chocolate but there is something deeply problematic and long-standing in regard to Ashy’s relationship with food. His lunchbox was surprising to say the least, considering he’s in sport and looks like an active kid. There was no protein. I would hazard a guess and say maybe it doesn’t matter because he goes when he wants, or is so busy at school he forgets to eat. However the few times chocolate has been mentioned or he’s had it, he looks hypnotised. It looks like he’s having something illicit and he knows it. Remember Easter when he had the organic reduced sugar egg (which would’ve just used a different type of sugar anyway lol)? Poor kid. I wanted to give him good old Cadbury and say enjoy kid, it’s Easter.
Kids who are restricted always go ham when they can. I would bet $50 at birthday parties he goes to, especially in later years - he annihilates the lolly table.
