To send my toddler to nursery with takeaway curry?!

[Mooey89]

I send my 3 year old DS to nursery with lunch and tea. Usually a sandwich/something on toast and then leftovers from the night before, spaghetti bolognaise, shepherds pie etc.
Tonight DP and I are having curry (takeaway) - non spicy vegetable based.
There's bloody shitloads left over!
He eats anything and everything, loves curry when I make one, very confident he will eat it.

DP said it would be an 'epic parenting fail' to send him with it, I think it's fine as a one off...

AIBU?

I think it's fine!

Put it in your own container and let them think it's your own home made version? If he'd eat it, l would

I wouldn't. A takeaway curry will be way way over a 3 year olds recommended salt intake.

I think the curry would be fine but not rice, notorious for causing food poisoning when reheated etc.

I would.

Too salty. Freeze and have it yourself next week.

Too much salt in a takeaway I reckon.

Hadn't considered the salt argument!

Mix some of those frozen micro veg into it if you want to be a bit healthier

I'm only a no because of the salt.

Also I am not really a curry - sharer

I doing a toddler is going to be overloaded with salt from the occasional takeaway curry, give it a rest you lot giving OP a parenting food fright .

It's fine OP.

*doubt

Occasional curry (ie not every week) is fine, despite the salt.

Think of the salt content in cornflakes, bacon, sausages, cheese etc...

Bloody hell a one off take away isn't really a salt issue. Every week, yes too much, but a one off
Stick it in your own container and make your own rice and it'll be fine

I totally would. In fact, DC will be having saag aloo for breakfast tomorrow

Yes, too high in salt, and alot of the non spicy korma type takeaways are also laden with sugar. I really can't imagine giving my 3 year old my leftover takeaway tbh, that's pretty crap

Does the nursery offer a reheat service or would he have it cold?

Yes to the curry, but no to any left over rice simply because reheated rice is a serious food poisoning risk.

It's not a korma type.
It's a vegetable Bhuna.
But thanks for letting me know I'm crap.

Why do they not provide food?

oldboots they heat it.

They just don't. It's really annoying but at least that way all allergies and tastes are catered for.

Ds3 just had a whole Bhuna to himself, he said it was very nice and ate the lot.

I'm really crap then because I'd consider it and then rule it out as its too nice for a 3 year old and would keep it for myself. I could start a Facebook theme 'Tag me if you know a crap selfish mum and add a picture of a takeaway'
