to force DS to eat a Greggs sausage roll while he screams at the top of his voice "...........

[onasausageroll]

........I dont want a sausage roll. I dont want a sausage roll Mummy"

DS (3) and I went to get lunch from Greggs. We dont normally eat Greggs, it was an emergency.

Whilst waiting I told DS that I was buying him a sausage roll for lunch. He had spotted some nice pink cupcakes and wanted one of those instead. A long queue had formed behind us and and DS screamed over and over again "But I dont want a sausage roll, I dont want a sausage roll mummy, I DONT WANT A SAUSAGE ROLL MUMMY!"

Horrified looks from long queue that I was FORCING my DS to eat a Greggs sausage roll for lunch when clearly he wanted poached chicken, cherry tomatoes and other assorted salad items for lunch.

Was IBU to buy the sausage roll despite his screams or should I have cancelled it and gone to look for the poached chicken.

Name changed as I dont want this on my record.

Greggs is great but very ... pastry based.

My local Greggs has a clientele that whilst mixed does tend to feature some of our less slim residents.

Thank you, OP, for making me laugh my arse off!

Only my DS could scupper my attempts to have an easy lunch by refusing a sausage roll.

Has he no concept of the word emergency

You see, OP, where you went wrong was by not telling him he could have a Thomas The Tank Engine train set* if he ate said sausage roll.

See? There's no such thing as a free cheap lunch.
