Kids often have the coolest stuff

Can't keep your hands off your kids' stuff? You're not alone.

Some fathers' confessions, from Parents magazine:

  • "I can't resist my son's fruit snacks. I tried to sneak them, but my wife found out."

  • "I moved my kids' GameCube system into the living room. That way, I don't have to wake them up when I want to play."

  • "My wife noticed how quickly we ran out of my son's lavender skin lotion, so I 'fessed up. Now she buys the jumbo size for us to share."
