Today I think I figured out why I give my kids too many desserts. I like the look of sheer pleasure on their faces. I like the absence of all guilt too. I know that there is little chance that someday they won't feel guilty or sinful eating a cupcake or an ice cream cone, no matter how hard I try to protect them from anything related to eating disorders.
Or maybe I do it because--in order to not pass on any negative food associations to them--I feel it is important that I partake in the desserts with them. : )
