to pity these children

[lilacclery]

Met a friend yesterday who is delighted that her 15 month old is now eating a variety of breakfast like honey loops, frosties, 'multigrain shapes, cocopops instead of weetabix and ready brek every second day which are boring!

I'm health and sugar conscious & love that my 10 month and 4 year old have a variety like weetabix porridge ready brekkie scrambled egg and on occasion homemade pancakes or sausages.

Honestly? I think there are bigger things to worry about. If the worst that a child has to contend with is sugary breakfast cereals then they are doing pretty well considering what happens to children in some families.

Sorry

I tried ds1 on weetabix when he was one and it made him vomit. I thought you were worried as they were being abused. In the big scheme of things cereal is not that bad compared to some of the sh*t children have to put up with from their parents.

I would pity the poor kids in the world who aren't being fed at all... not those being encouraged to try different foods - however sugary - you need to look at breakfast as part of a whole diet.

p.s. you feed yours sausages occasionally - processed red meat and fat... heart attack/bowel cancer inducing - perhaps she pities you?

YANBU to think that ready brek and the like makes a better breakfast than coco pops, but these children really don't need your pity. Save it for children who don't get breakfast at all.

Good for you, but really - pity? These kids are probably well-loved and secure. I wouldn't/don't feed my child sugary food (and honestly, I think Ready Brek is unnecessary too), but I wouldn't pity any child who is fed other cereal for that sole reason. There are many other, more important, reasons to feel pity for a child. Leave your judging at home, and live and let live here.

I think you confused the feelings of pity and superiority a bit tbh.

Smug mummy alert
What is there to pity?
Does it make you feel better about yourself to look down on others and feel superior

I don't pity children being fed breakfast cereal by their parents. I save that for those somebody else has to feed as their parents don't.

YABU.

Although it's sweet that you're so naive. You must have had a lovely life.

Op, if you pity kids like those its going to be a long life.

(Gets SUGARED popcorn out ready for how this thread is going to go)

Save your pity for those that need it.

Is this a reverse?

My goodness OP a bit smug much?!

Yabvvvvvu to pity these children. Save it for children that need it

Gosh well I think you are a FABULOUS parent and clearly so very much better than her. WELL DONE YOU!

Its the ops DC I feel pity for
They will never have the pleasure of slurping the chocolate milk from the bowl after eating a bowl of coco pops

sausages are worse.

Yabu

Get a grip

Good heavens. You need a delivery of some perspective urgently!

Are you sure you are her friend?

YABVU and "pity" is over the top.

Have you woken up and decided you would like an argument?

mmmm coco pops

I've heard it all now.

I am sure you are practically perfect in every way.

What did social services say when you called them? You have called them, right?

Pitying these children because they're fed sugary breakfast cereals is OTT.
