Julie Jay: I won’t sugarcoat it — my children eat far too many sweet treats

Whether your kids are eating treats on the daily or indulging only on a Friday afternoon, ultimately we are all just out here doing our best as parents, and isn't that all that matters (my dentist might disagree)

All of this treat talk is, of course, never more intensified than when we face into Easter and pretend that we haven’t secretly been consuming Easter eggs in our car since late February, when the children weren’t looking. Picture: iStock 

A FEW weeks ago, former Love Island contestant-turned-television personality and entrepreneur Montana Brown got into hot water by complaining about children in Britain getting ‘pudding’ every day after their school dinner.

At first, I was stunned to learn that children across the UK are tucking into drisheen every day, before reminding myself that in England pudding is a sweet treat not blood sausage.
