Do you expect dessert after a meal?

I was not raised with dessert after dinner. We ate sweets basically whenever we wanted throughout the day. Sweets were more like a snack than dessert. Not that I constantly ate sweets all day long, far from it. Although, I did drink a lot of coca cola, which of course is full of sugar.

My husband likes to end his meals on a sweet note, and I have picked up the habit to some extent. I think it is a terrible habit. I think it teaches us to stuff ourselves past being full.

Do you expect dessert at the end of a meal? Do you crave it?

Were you raised with dessert after dinner? If so, is your family in general overweight or normal weight?
