🍫 The Candy Bar Rule
In our house, we have a simple rule:
If you're splitting a candy bar or a bag of M&Ms, the person who does the splitting lets the other person choose their half.
It’s our way of encouraging fairness. And let me tell you—when you’re raising twin boys, this rule gets tested a lot.
Sometimes the Hershey bar breaks unevenly. Sometimes one pile of Skittles looks just a little more colorful. And when it’s time to choose, one twin always goes for the bigger half.
It’s made me think:
When you’re the one choosing, do you take the bigger half or the smaller one?
Is there a right answer? Or just a reflection of how we see fairness, generosity, and self-worth?
In a world where it can feel like some have more than others, I’ve become more sensitive to what it means to be fair—and how we teach that to our kids.
I feel confident in how I’ve responded to my twins. But I’d love to hear from you:
👉 Which half would you choose—and why?
👉 What advice would you give me as a dad trying to raise fair, generous, and self-aware young adults?
