To have given DS1 pizza for breakfast?

DS1 (14yo) loves his food. He's not so keen on school work. We have had lots of "issues" over revision for the y/e exams.

Anyway during one of our -fights discussions he picked up a take-away menu that had come through he door and said if I work hard and do well in maths (where he struggles) can we have a pizza delivered?

This is something we do very rarely and seemed like a great idea if it would get him to work, so I agreed and he did work really hard (compared to previous efforts, anyway) and got a good result, for him.

We gave him free reign to order what he wanted last night and naturally, he ordered too much. I hate food waste, so he had the leftovers for breakfast.

That's not terrible, is it?

Ha ha debbriana, fair play! I was stunned tbh, am so glad you didn't mean it! Sorry for not getting it!

Yes, OP, I am aware what cereals are, I have just never heard anyone refer to breakfast cereal as 'boxed' before.

It's used a lot in nutrition books, to distinguish the real food cereals from the "food products" sold to us as breakfast. It might be an Americanism though.
