... that you shouldn't complain when they don't eat their "proper" meal? Confused

My friend has a 2.5 yo boy. who is given bread with his meals, a slice at the beginning, then more is summoned if he eats it all. Then mum wonders why he hasn't eaten the rest of his dinner!

Is it just me, or would you think you'd leave the bread out altogether? And then of they have finished their dinner and still want more, then that's the time to bring out the bread? Or just stick with the first piece and don't offer more?

Actually Nicky is correct. Bread is allowable with a fry up.

This legislating business is trickier than I thought. I might have to give up my plans for world domination

boop World domination is harder than it looks!

Now, where do you stand on bread and butter with soup?

I grew up in a poor household - we got bread (white pan loaf - 2 quarters of a slice) no butter. :( I went a friends for lunch once and had heinz tomato soup with buttered bread - when you dipped it in the unwatered down soup the butter melted into the soup making glorious golden globules in the thick red deliciousness..." I was smitten.

So, in my house soup gets served with bread and butter or sometimes cheese sandwiches! #madeit #goneupintheworld :o

00100001 bread? With soup you say?

Well, that depends. If it's naice bread then that's fine. Your bog standard slice needs to be toasted though.

My sil does this. Fine if they're having something easy for dinner but if you've spent time cooking from scratch, why would you do it?

Notso · 12/05/2016 13:48

SIL does this. Not bread but snacks. DN is given snack after snack after snack then only has to wimper at mealtimes and the plate is whipped away and replaced with more snacks.
I look after her a few times a week I give her no snacks. As if by magic she eats all her meals.
