Growing up we only had dessert on special occasions, big family dinners, birthdays, easter, xmas, and the like.
Usually things like roly poly, pears in jelly, or very occasionally in summer mum would buy two fruits ina can and we'd have that, with ice cream and cream.
DP's not into dessert, I really only ever make it if we have people over for dinner.
my mum and aunties are always banging on about who is bringing "sweets" to a gathering..
We dont sit down & have dessert together, if someone wants something they go & have it. DD has fruit, yoghurt or a sandwich after dinner if she's still hungry before bed. It's only really if we have people over that we have a sitdown (planned) dessert IYKWIM
not very often but that being said the last month or so I have bribed DS #1 with jelly if he eats all his main meal so we have been having lots of jelly sometimes with custard
probably once every few monhs we will have a cheesecake or something, Jase goes thru a stage every 5 weeks when is on call and not having a evening drink where he will eat icecream every night
We only have dessert as a treat. Usually its a self saucing pudding or golden syrup dumplings. When MIL visits we have it every night and its nice. Usually old school desserts

Oh how wonderful to read about grandparents having dessert every night if only my hips would allow it! We never plan to have dessert and we really only ever have it once in a blue moon (maybe if we have guests over). I have ice cream in the freezor at the moment but that probably only happens once a year. If we had dessert when guest are over I try to keep it light eg choc mouse with fresh whipped cream and some cherry ripe or pepermint crips crushed up on top of it. When I was a kid mum would make pudding or golden syrup dumplings, paves etc YUMMMMM Ahhh those were the days
