I did a pretty good job of managing my son's sugar intake… until we moved nearer my kin. He was three years old. He'd never had a Hershey's bar.

My mother actually said he was abused. 🙄

All my kin started sneaking him candy and chocolate every time they saw him. Then, they would get annoyed with him when he got hyper from too much sugar. They taught him to be sneaky about it too – "Don't tell your mom." Very quickly, they accused me of spoiling him because I would not spank him for being "out of control" hyper or sneaky. 🤬
