To think this wasn't a "crap tea"

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.

Sounds lovely, feel free to feed my kids that any time ;) lol

We're having fishfingers chips and peas too Tutut!

We're having a crap tea tonight! Well the boys are - potato waffles with tinned sausages-and-beans! How about that? I don't think anyone can top that.

Firawla · 11/10/2012 17:59

Sil sounds weird!
I am going to copy your cornflakes chicken idea

MainlyMaynie · 11/10/2012 17:59

How bizarre. Sounds very healthy to me. Does she only serve DN steamed brown rice?

GColdtimer · 11/10/2012 18:00

Glad you think she is off her rocker Grin

I am really not adverse to a crap tea myself but thought I would make an effort!

Wow, I am just happy if anyone gives my kids tea, whatever it is, saves me doing it, what a silly cow and surprised you didn't tell her so at the time.

Don't have dn again and say why...

If I have extra children round I always do a crap tea cos easiest way to suit all tastes. Yours was not a crap tea mind. Wish I could get mine to eat that many veg.

Nagoo · 11/10/2012 18:00

what is a good tea by SILs standards? She's bloody rude!

sittinginthesun · 11/10/2012 18:02

That's not a crap tea!

Nagoo · 11/10/2012 18:02

yy other people's kids get fish fingers chips and beans. Foolproof eh :)

SoleSource · 11/10/2012 18:02

SIL is even more unpkeadent than a shit sandwich. Next time do not bother to expect me to feed him or send him with some of your stupendous cuisine.

SLAM (door)

Life is too short to put up with her nasty ramblings

BupcakesAndHaunting · 11/10/2012 18:03

Tell her next time that you offer her free childcare there'll be a fucking Pot Noodle waiting for her child.

And it'll be a shit one like Chow Mein, not even a good one like Spicy Curry or Chicken and Mushroom.

GColdtimer · 11/10/2012 18:04

Not sure what she normally cooks but I had salmon in the oven and dn pulled a face and said "urgh aunty twofalls, please can we not have salmon. We always have it at home". Grin

You are all making me laugh. I wasn't even offended. I just thought "what a nutter"

Mine had pizza and chips tonight!

Your SIL is a loon!

Hopandaskip · 11/10/2012 18:07

maybe she meant it was a kiddie sort of meal. Still rude and ungrateful.

miaowmix · 11/10/2012 18:08

that's a lovely meal for a child (assuming she IS a child?)

ENormaSnob · 11/10/2012 18:09

Sil is an arse.

GColdtimer · 11/10/2012 18:09

She could have done hop. She isn't known for her tact. She is 8 grey.

Tailtwister · 11/10/2012 18:12

Sounds pretty good to me! All home made and a good balance of meat/veg. What does she normally feed her?

miaowmix · 11/10/2012 18:14

Thought so but just checking. That's a really nice supper for an 8 year old. How ungrateful!

Floggingmolly · 11/10/2012 18:14

What would she call "proper" food??????

AdoraBell · 11/10/2012 18:16

And this comment came from someone who's child you had looked after and fed? Unbelievable.
