I grew up having unlimited access to candy
Unlimited meaning whatever I could find in the house
My wife on the other side grew up not having unlimited access to candy
Guess who of the two of us as adult now can control their candy consumption and who if there is candy in the house will eat every last bit of it with 2/3 days?
Forced limiting of anything won’t teach a person how to deal with it…quite the opposite
- ryantgtg 5y agoSame with my household (at least with snacks and treats). I remember being baffled when friends would come over and gorge themselves on all the snacks at my house. Then I realized it was because they considered these things a limited resource. To this day a quart of ice cream can last me weeks even when it’s the only treat in the house. But then my wife joins the fray and suddenly it’s like a competition to finish it in one night.
