to ask politely that a visiting child not to have sugar on his cereal?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Occasionally I'll have one of DD2's classmates before school, as it helps with his parents' working situation.

I have 4 DCs who obviously will have to be cautious over their eating habits for life. Genes.

Therefore we have only cereals that are not excessively sugary for breakfast.

This child moans about what is on offer at my house. So he then asks for augar to be added to weetabix, which I would rather not, but if DS is not in the room he can have some discreetly, as the girls understand my rationale, but DS is only 4 and I would rather not have this eating style visible to him.

So, AIBU to request politely that he doesn't add sugar when ChaoticBoy is around?

This is Scotland, Hab. We live on alcohol and fags here :o.

Oh, tyler, maybe she doesn't read the damn box. I told you - she's a Bad Parent who washes in lard. And yes, I have eaten weetabix - the texture is vile but they're really quite sweet.

West Coaster. Mine eat lichen and spring water.

Expat, you've forgotten the deep fried Mars Bars.

Mine are Highlanders, break out the whisky and mutton, yer a long time deid.

tyler, bran flakes etc are on offer but afaia the four year old is not eating them. he's on the weetabix. so your point is redundant, i think.

i used to microwave bacon for a roll when i was first at uni. it's not so bad, actually.

My Dp has one of those poundland microwavable bacon things. Apparently, its ok!

I dont eat meat, but it looks ok, just not crispy.

Put it in there for 3 minutes, it's very crispy indeed.

And during that time is when I split the rolls and butter 'em.

All bacon is microwavable isn't it? My Mum does it and it is crispy, but I def prefer it fried.

OP - YANBU

Microwavable bacon

who knew?
