Just my opinion though, I don't think that forbidding sweets from your kids necessarily keeps them off sweets - I feel like growing up sweets-deprived made me indulge more when I was older and had access. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-serve-dessert#post-1475769 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:25:14 +0000 Rubies 1475769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was fruit or nothing!

Generally we had ice cream all the time, occasionally some other sort of cookies or something. We didn't eat dessert right after dinner, but every night while we were watching tv we had ice cream or cookies or hot chocolate or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-serve-dessert#post-1475632 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 18:54:21 +0000 gingerbebe 1475632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Same. Korean parents = fruit 99% of the time. Also we had really Korean snacks - steamed potatoes or sweet potatoes instead of popcorn or chips or cookies. Sometimes late at night if we were all watching TV we might get some ice cream as a late snack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-serve-dessert#post-1475364 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 17:26:31 +0000 HLK208 1475364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really unless it was someone's birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-serve-dessert#post-1475221 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 16:57:26 +0000 lemondrop 1475221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but my mom's mom always did at Sunday dinner!

We'd have a scoop of ice cream or a couple of cookies and milk. I remember this more from my teenage years though.
