Hot dogs 3 days in a row?

I know im going to be shamed and that's totally fine.

Im very unwell at the moment, my kids have had hotdogs (in pasta, and on their own) for the last 2 nights and I'm considering doing hot dog pasta again. It's something they both eat and I just cant be doing with them being picky right now.

Does anyone have any easy to do, quick meals which are better than hot dogs? Right now it's just a case of everyone fed, no one dead, but I feel so guilty over their eating.

Any suggestions would be great.

It’s not as if they’re living on chocolate biscuits - absolutely no harm done.
Please relax and feel much better very soon.

Not adding to the ideas, as loads been suggested, but just wanted to add that you should NOT feel bad at all. You are ill. Your kids are being fed. Eating hotdog based meals for a few days, when they have a balanced diet overall, really isn't a big issue. Look after yourself and hope you feel better soon, the kids might well remember this as the best week ever - hot dog heaven! Flowers

When I was 9 I hate barely anything but Bovril sandwiches for a year despite my parents best attempts. I didn't die abs neither will your kids. You are ill, they can wear it. It will be fine

Thanks so much everyone, my mental health has got to such a point where I'm struggling with basic things. I've accessed help.

Kids were so excited when I told them it was hot dog pasta and it helps knowing they'll eat it without any fuss.
