Or is toast with honey a perfectly acceptable breakfast for a 4yo?

[n0ne]

Just that, really. DD(4) is asking for toast with honey for breakfast. DH is telling her she can't have it. I ask why, he says it's just pure sugar and looks at me like I've got two heads. Surely toast with honey is a perfectly normal breakfast option? It's not like she eats it every day (or in fact ever before).

DH is foreign, if that makes a difference. He has some really weird (to me) ideas about what is and isn't an acceptable meal

It's like when I found out Mog The Cat died too.

Oh yes. She was very tired 😪

in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.

Just gorgeous.

Isn't it funny that Winnie the Pooh is thought of as something for babies and toddlers when the actual books are in fact suited to a much older child.

This thread just keeps on giving

Duck nuggets

Paddington's creator died today. Waaahhh!

No Pooh absolutely didn't die.
I couldn't post the section Pike quoted as I didn't want to make you all cry over your fancy local honey toast! It's heartbreaking and beautifully written.
Ah Pike and Scrumpernickel have set me off again.

OP, NEVER EVER EVER start a thread on Mumsnet asking about your child's diet. You will always get told 'too many carbs', 'where's the protein?' 'That's just pure sugar' and generally told that you are slowly killing your child.
The only foods that you are allowed to feed your child without someone criticising you are organic grilled chicken, free range eggs, avocado and Brazil nuts. That's it. Everything else is poisonous.
According to Mumsnet, all cereals are 'shit in a box' and chocolate is 'extremely dangerous' (genuine quotes).
I grew up in the 70's and I and most of my friends had Frosties, Rice Crispies or Corn Flakes for breakfast. None of us were overweight. We also had spam fritters, fish in radioactive orange breadcrumbs and pink custard for school dinners.
Eating healthily is important, of course it is. However, obsessing over the salt and sugar content of every micro gram of food that passes your child's lips and banning certain foods completely is not healthy and is also a fecking miserable way to live.
Lots of Europeans eat Danish pastries for breakfast and seem to survive.

See my post this morning about how this thread would go. I rest my case.

Aren't nuts a choking hazard?

Avocado and Brazil nuts, Hoolies that's far too much fat!!

Brazil nuts by far are the most radioactive of all food (courtesy of Google).

You may as well feed your children nuclear waste

The real Christopher Robin was not happy about being in the books.

I don't care, tbh. I know IANBU And we do let DD eat some 'junk' in moderation (the odd ice lolly, a penny sweet or two, cake at a party), which is why I was so shocked at DH's stance on the toast with honey!

And where he comes from, it's normal to eat chocolate sprinkles on buttered bread for breakfast, so I think it's just him being extra

Ahhhhhh, Holland!

Threads like these (and there are many on Mumsnet) makes me realise how many people have eating disorders.

Honey and toast is perfectly fine OP. Hope your dc enjoyed it. I had porridge with golden syrup this morning. I'm clearly about to keel over and die.

I remember looking Christopher Robin up on Wikipedia to see what his adult life had been like, turns out he was estranged from his parents for decades and they never made peace with each other.

Not as sad though as the story of Peter and his brothers who inspired JM Barrie's Peter Pan...

Tragedy.

Threads like these (and there are many on Mumsnet) makes me realise how many people have eating disorders. This.
Honey on toast is fine, OP.
I went away for a weekend recently with four old friends. We were talking about what we were fed as kids (70s/80s) - there was a huge difference, from all-organic-no-sugar to cheap and processed. We all eat a very similar diet now, and have since we were at university together in the early nineties.

Chicken! Eggs! It's animal cruelty! And avocados destroy rainforests!

I'm glad it's not just me who's wondered what exactly's left for me to feed my child.

Is he Dutch Op? The land of bitte bollen, chips with peanut sauce, poffertjes and fried snacks! He hasn't got a leg to stand on 😃

Of it was every day then it may be a bit much but it is a normal breakfast

Mog died.

What!?

Plus I thought people where messing about Winnie the Pooh being dead. He actually died.

Feel sick ...

Goodbye Mog
