large extra value meal with a milkshake you could bath in, followed by a mcfluffy?

Am at macs (had d+v so couldn't face cooking for ds, si happy meal and water as a rare treat)

Woman on next table, 3 kids, eldest 2 must have been 6-8? Huge big mac meals, trough of chips, milkshakes and mcfluffys?

Christ that's surely a weeks worth of kcal and fat???

Her smallest child was then sick all over the floor... She just left it for staff to clean lazy slattern

Am Shock

McFluffy? You mean McFlurry?

If she wants to give her kids that food then that's up to her. YABU for judging.

ForeverNamechanging · 18/05/2011 16:46

grrrr

stickytoffeepud · 18/05/2011 16:48

lol at one woman feeding kids junk judging another woman feeding kids junk

and how would she have cleared up vomit? scooped it up into her handbag? Wiped it up with kid's school jumper?

MumblingRagDoll · 18/05/2011 16:48

Plus....my 6 year old is almost 7 and very skinny...however she can now demolish a happy meal in about three seconds.....there's not much to a happy meal you know....she isn't allowed anything bigger but I can see an 8 year old might desire a Big Mac. I mean...what do you give them at a BBQ? Not half a burger?

MrSpoc · 18/05/2011 16:49

Sounds like they had D&V too.

MumblingRagDoll · 18/05/2011 16:49

Lol at storing the sick in her bag!

geordieminx · 18/05/2011 16:50

Did you miss the bit where I said I had been ill with d+v all day?

And she was called a lazy slattern for not even attempting to clean her Childs sick off the floor

2BoysTooLoud · 18/05/2011 16:50

Perhaps kid had D and V too...
All of you spreading your germs.. aghhhh...

MumblingRagDoll · 18/05/2011 16:51

Yes..maybe SHE had D&V...or bad news....or a craving. As for the sick thing....the staff have mops...she would not.

MrSpoc · 18/05/2011 16:52

Sorry but they have cleaners for a reason. If everyone cleaned up after themselves then there would be no need for them. Then they would be out of a job.

But seriously how would she of cleaned it?

Nixea · 18/05/2011 16:52

But what on earth would you have attempted to clean it with?!?

Sorry but Toffee sums it up perfectly - "lol at one woman feeding kids junk judging another woman feeding kids junk!"

This Nutrition values page will probably aid the discussion.

P.S. Children do actually need fat.

geordieminx · 18/05/2011 16:52

Er she could have used the cleaning roll that the woman brought over, just before she walked out.

I don't have a problem with junk per se, just think consuming the best part of 3000kcal in one meal is perhaps excessive? Non?

Why are you out spreading your germs to poor kids in mac d's?

pickyourbrain · 18/05/2011 16:53

What were you doing in an eating establishment with D&V, that is unhygenic.

You lazy slattern you shouldnt have gone to Maccy Ds and risked everyone elses health just because you were too ill to cook.

grumpypants · 18/05/2011 16:54

Am at macs (had d+v so couldn't face cooking for ds, si happy meal and water as a rare treat)

this is the only unreasonable bit about the scenario - surely they could make do at home rather than you go aout and spread your germs? And much worse to go ouy, queue, sit there, rather than stay at home?

MumblingRagDoll · 18/05/2011 16:55

Well bugger me.....she had no manners, she was a lazy cow and her kids will be fat. There. Is that better now?

I'm sorry, but I never set foot in Maccy D's

(Bastard King yes, but alone and ashamed, without DC)

I don't know how you could stomach walking in there after a day of D&V

Kids could have had toast

Nixea · 18/05/2011 16:56

I'm just imagining the nightmare of three kids, all scrambling to get coats and bags together, all trampling through said vomit while I was trying to put "cleaning roll" over it....

Sometimes the best thing you can do in a bad situation it to remove the factor most likely to make more chaos, in this case the kids. Stop judging the woman based on the 5 minutes you've seen of her life.

MrSpoc · 18/05/2011 16:56

there was a programme recently where they did a calorie count on a big Mc Meal and compaire it against a ceaser salad at Tesco. Guess which one was worst. Also I dont think the calories in a big mac meal comes no where near 3000. a little exageration.

FurKnickersAndNoCoat · 18/05/2011 16:56

I always feel sorry for kids who have to have carrot sticks and water in McD's whilst mum and dad have big mac meals (large of course) with a DIET coke Grin. Surely you don't go into a McDonalds if you don't intend to have something "treaty".

Maybe this woman was ill too? Maybe it was a once a week/fortnight/century treat?

good grief

no way should you be out and about with D and V

yuk yuk yuk

and selfish, too

no thought for the vulnerable
