    Depends. If DS is still hungry we do, if he's not and eaten enough of his dinner then we don't. DH and I will sometimes have a pudding on the sofa when DS is in bed if we don't.

    We have yoghurt, mousse, banana cake, sponge and custard, banoffee pie, pumpkin pie, sticky toffee puddings, lemon merangue, fruit, jam tarts... whatever I've made. Or have bought in because it was on offer with the wine.

    Actually, I fancy making a merange now. And banoffee pies. Will have to put ingredients on the shopping list!

    I often skipped pud as a teenager. Nothing was worse than spending time with my family! My sister used mealtimes to tell me how dull and stupid I was, so I tended to avoid them at all costs. Having to clear the kitchen with her afterwards would have been awful.

    We had it in our house growing up. Nothing too fancy... most of the time, just icecream. But every now and then it would be something speical like Mousse.

    We didnt carry it on. DD is only 18 months so dessert isnt on her menu at the moment. Not saying we wont in the future, we just dont now. Though being on a diet..it forbids me to do so lol

    We (me and DH) have ice cream every night (mostly low calorie ones) but as from monday we are switching to frozen yoghurt instead.

    DS gets an ice cream cone if he eats a fair amount of his dinner. Needless to say, he usually gets it twice a month - if that.. LOL

    DD1 doesn't get dessert, as she is only 20 months and I think thats a bit young. So we'll probably start when she is 3 as well. And if she eats the majority of her dinner.

    And of course it goes without saying that DD2 doesn't get any dessert either.

    We don't. The kids beg for dessert (ice-cream) just about every night but they may only get it twice a week. In the winter I may do a roast lamb dinner followed by apple pie and cream, once in a while.

    No dessert here, unless I feel like knocking up a self saucing pud after the kids have gone to bed. The girls with have a biscuit or a few choccie drops with their milk after their bath. If they were to have dessert, the only one they would want would be icecream. I have tried apple crumble, banana custard etc, but they are just not that interest, also it would just drag out the whole bedtime thing for too long.
