‘Here you go s*** bags… enjoy!’ Rachaele’s post about tricking her three children and two stepchildren into eating fruit has notched up thousands of views and comments on Facebook
In a post that notched up 10,000 likes and hundreds of shares, Rachaele recounted a conversation between herself and her children:
‘To me: “Mum can I have an ice lolly? Can I have a fruit winder? Can I have a yogurt? Can I have a caramel freddo? Can I have a cake?”

‘To them: “Go and sit in the lounge and mummy will make you all something nice.” **All rush into the lounge excited as f***.** Here you go s*** bags… enjoy.’ She shared this alongside a picture showing bowls of healthy, chopped-up fruit.

She later added: ‘What they really mean is “can I have any thing which is full of sugar and going to get me absolutely off my face?”‘
And fellow parents were full of praise for her genius trick. Writing on Facebook, Kimberley Jane Lingard said: ‘Omg so true! Give them a bowl of cut up fruit and they are happy!’
Kim Gregory added: ‘This is something I’d do to my kids. It’s always I want I want in my house lol.’
Julia Drake wrote: ‘Just laughed out loud! Don’t ever stop posting, your the best! (sic.)’
Kim Blackshaw said: ‘Well played mum,’ while Jasmine Palmer-Hall added: ‘I do this too.’
Others were keen to know how effective her trick had been. Robyn King said: ‘Great idea! Did they eat it?’
Laila Fiona commented: ‘Actually laughing out loud at this post, keep posting Mrs,’ while Rebecca Symmans said: ‘F****** love this.’
‘Cracking up!’ wrote Hayley Curtis.
Rachaele went viral earlier this year when she wrote a Facebook post saying she had been inspired to change her own life by watching a ‘stranger with crazy blonder hair’ on the school run for the last 10 years.
