I had my dn today, sil has just picked her up and I told her what we had for tea. Her response was "oh she likes crap teas like that, not like our proper food"

I served (all homemade) cornflake chicken goujons, potato wedges, baby sweet corn, green beans and broccoli. Fruit and yoghurt for pudding.

I thought it was quite healthy.

I think your SIL is off her rocker and a tad ungrateful! Sounds like a perfectly good and healthy tea to me!

You didn't say Chicken Nuggets instead of homemade goujons did you?

Perfectly reasonable tea btw and unpleasant comment from Sil.

It sounds nice.

Your SIL on the other hand, doesn't

It's a great tea! Your sil is a buffoon. Does she often put you down for no good reason?

So next time give him turkey twizzlers, smash and a whole bottle of cheap ketchup. Jelly for pudding with added e-numbers. She sounds like a silly cow who wasn't even listening to a word you said!

I don't think that's a crap tea and "crap" teas have their place anyway maybe it was the absence of a jus?

YANBU It sounds healthy to me - and delicious too!

I've no idea why she would say such a thing.

YANBU, sounds lovely. I can't see what on earth is 'crap' about that except if you'rereally picky the cornflakes.

WTF does your sil usually serve her DD? Confused

Sounds lovely. Is your SIL always that rude?

pictish · 11/10/2012 17:56

Btw - I happen to think your sil is extremely rude.

If I looked after someone else's child and and they snided at the food I offered, I'd be furious!

Sounds fine, your SIL does not.
I'd tell her to bog off and then feed her pfb pot noodle

Far healthier than at least 99% of the meals I've eaten in my lifetime [blush)

Am trying to make more of an effort these days...

If that's a crap tea, what's her idea of proper food? YANBU and your SIL's an ungrateful, rude cow.

No it's not a crap tea.

We're having a crap tea, fish fingers, chips and peas. All our of the freezer, just shoved in the oven/pan. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to have a crap tea!

Grin at madge

Cornflake chicken - coat chicken strips in natural yoghurt or mayonnaise, roll in crushed cornflakes. Cook in hot oven for 20 mins!

She can be a bit odd at times and is food obsessed (which is why I didn't get the turkey twizlers out).

Maybe next time you could consult with her on a menu plan for her DD beforehand.

How incredibly rude.
