You're also judging me because I think it's important that children should have a cooked meal.
Nope. That's not it at all. I've never said children shouldn't have a cooked meal. I said the parent doesn't have to be able to cook for children to have a cooked meal.
I've also not judged how you feed your children. Don't care how you feed your children.
My children eat a healthy balanced diet. I cook. Their diet being healthy is not reliant on the need for me to cook, however.
From what's posted, I'm going with this kid has a shit diet.
You don't really have enough information to accurately support that assumption, but you've clearly made up your mind. Again, I'm not fussed. Everyone has an opinion - doesn't mean you're right.
And just because you feed your DC a non cooked balanced meal doesn't mean that everyone who doesn't cook will!
And just because you feed your dc a cooked balanced meal doesn't mean that everyone who cooks will!
Well, maybe people (of any age) reading it will engage brain and think "hey, perhaps I need to put a bit more effort into my children's diet".
And maybe those who are narrow minded enough to think that only people that cook can give their children a balanced diet will engage their brain and realise "hey, a parent is only required to PROVIDE a healthy balanced diet for their children - they are not required to have cooking skills to do so!"
It must be so exhausting finding fault with everyone that doesn't do things exactly the way you think they should be done.
If children are getting balanced diets, I don't care if the parents can cook or not. I cook, but I don't expect everyone to live the same way we do or make the same choices that we do. There are all sorts of options for cooked meals for children without the parent cooking. I think it's extremely narrow minded to assume that if a parent doesn't cook, the child isn't getting a balanced diet.
Oh, and FFS give the cheese on toast a rest. I get so tired of people banging on about how cheese on toast, beans on toast, and such are so healthy. They're okay, but a diet of that food is far from balanced. I'd rather see my child eat a salad with a healthy variety of veg than cheese on toast any day (which is probably just as well, because my dc wouldn't eat cheese on toast anyway).
