My husband stole my chocolate bar! Don’t worry, he will be severely disciplined. But, I cannot decide how to do it. Any ideas?
Here are some discipline methods that work on our 2 year old:
1- Place him in his crib for a time out.
Hmmm… That one is not going to work. I don’t have a crib large enough and lifting him up into it is another story.
2- Take away his toy.
First, I am pretty sure my husband would not throw a tantrum the way my 2 year old does if I took something away. Second, If I were to take away a toy, like his bike, I’m not sure where I could place the toy that would be out of reach. Third, I would take away the chocolate, but it’s a bit too late since all I saw was the wrapper that was left behind.
3- Tell him to say sorry.
I am not sure this would affect him the way it does my 2 year old. I am also pretty sure it wouldn’t be as cute as when my 2 year old says it.
4- Have him replace the chocolate bar.
I can’t do this with a 2 year old, but I make mention of it because my parents always made me replace something with my own money If I had taken it. I am not sure that this would impact him either… he would probably buy me one and happily buy an additional three for himself. By the way, he claims he does not like chocolate. But I don’t think that I believe him any more.
5- Sit on a chair in time out.
I am not sure what this would accomplish other than him laughing at me and thinking about how good the chocolate bar was.
Okay, I am totally kidding. But since I photograph the chocolate we taste, there is one golden rule: “Do not eat chocolate until it has been photographed”. However, I am still open to ideas to ‘remind’ Chocolate Dad of this rule and I will continue to share my chocolate… AFTER I take pictures.
Have a Good Day and make sure to keep an eye on your chocolate!
I say he owes you double.

Agreed, totally. The unique thing about this particular bar, is that it is not in production yet. Luckily, the company has another for me. Thanks for coming by!
How dare him…. Doesn’t he know we fight for chocolate… HEE, HEE, HEE. He needs to buy you a year’s subscription to your favorite chocolate to be delivered weekly. What do your think? Punishment enough? Oh wait… That may I encourage more stealing of chocolate.
I love it! And you are right. I really do not believe that he does not like chocolate. I think it is all a front that he puts on.
I have to hide things for that same reason… too often they are gone before I get a chance to photograph them.
So true- that is the general rule. It was hard this time… because we were staying somewhere while I was at a conference and had the chocolate with us. Thanks for coming by!
I thought Chocolate Dad (aka the alleged thief) better chime in and say his piece.
In my defense:
1)
I was not told the chocolate was “for pictures”
2)
I was in a condo all by myself with nothing else to snack on…what was I supposed to do/
3)
We had “already” tried one of the bars and spoke of and compared tasting experiences.
I think my thievery was totally justified and the chocolate was just asking for it!
haha!

You still forgot the ‘golden rule’- don’t eat until it is photographed.
No worries, my friend has you covered with another bar ready.
Yep! I have to hide things too! Too funny!
