And you thought taking candy from your kid was a good idea because..,uh, why? That was not sound judgment. My suggestion: start looking for a good therapist for your kid because she’s going to need one.

Poor child. Horrible attitude from a parent. Way to go to cause food and body image issues. There is no good or bad food. There is no special occasions food. Food is bought to be eaten not for decorations. I'm so sick of people labelling foods, instead of teaching moderation. There is nothing bad eating sweets, cakes, burgers, chips. Its bad overindulge, over eat. This can cost you a healthy relationship with your own child when she grows up. Hopefully she won't grow up thinking she is bad for having a slice of cake or candy bar, and make herself sick or punish herself with limiting food next day/s.

I hope you had a talk with your child to explain that you were wrong in saying what you said. I’m sure you meant well.

That was an absolute shit move and a poor excuse to take candy away. Everyone deserves the occasional sweet treat and now you've ruined the princess thing for her

The next "few hours"? My god, just give her the candy bar and stop being a dick about it.

I never understand why people post things like this on here, do you get off on people telling you you’re a terrible parent? Or did you seriously expect people to sympathize with you?

Now this story is more like old-school FML than I've seen in a long time. I miss the olden days where every story got dozens of comments and there was a lot of back-and-forth amongst the commenters and sometimes even the OP.
