......I am not perfect, I am not the greatest mum ever (altho I really would like to be able to say I am), and I am also not the best person to ask for advice on feeding kiddies the 'perfect' diet........
there are many threads here stating how we feed our DC's, treat out DC's, raise our DC's, and for the most part we all agree....
but surely.....(and I speak a lot for myself here)
sometimes we also LIE!!!
I have my standards, and 75% of the time I try to stick to them, but 25% of the time I either fail, or take my time remembering and so parenting cana be a little slack in these periods.
BUT
when there are threads here, I give advice and sometimes realise that I have 'twisted' the truth somewhat in my favour......
I don;t give my kiddies as much veg as I claim at times....or at least...I find I offer said veg, just they refuse it and it ends in the bin. (Altho that is not the post I would add at times)'
I offer fruit each day....only 3 of them eat with any enjoyment, and the other 2 have suplements.
I give them chocolate every day, and icecream, and pudding (well, that comes under the icecream TBH), they have crisps too most days...........
I have smacked them (altho sinse being here more, I haven;t and even DD1 said the other day that she can;t remember me ever smacking altho I still threaten it for the 'count to three' threat. It works, as I have never got to 3...!
I even allow a take-away each week.....
Oh, and as for chicken.....no idea where it comes from, altho that will be changing soon as the taste is definatley different as I have tested
and...............I drive to school......
please tell me I haven't confessed all and am now going to be pelted with stones....
