Please judge my dds dinner

[Nicpem1982]

My dd (3) is miserable today she's been to the Dr's for inoculations my dh is away for the next week and I'm home alone.

She's requested a fish pie for dinner so I've bought a frozen one which she will have with carrots peas and broccoli as I'm eating later as a friend is coming around

My sil thinks this is an appalling dinner for a growing child as its pre made, full of salt and additives and if you listen to her hysteria i may as well be offering dd class a narcotics

I cook everything from scratch and its a rare occasion we have frozen beige food and 28 days out of 30 we eat a varied diet so I don't think it's that bad. Sil thinks I should have a freezer full of home made delights ready to feed dd on the occasions she eats alone (again we eat as a family around the table the majority of the time)

So is fish pie and veggies really that bad for my dd?

Oh who gives a flying fuck , obviously it doesn't matter that she has that tonight. Stop fishing for compliments.

It's fine as a once in a while thing. Stop telling your sil anything!

Did you really need to ask?

Bloody hell a frozen fish pie once in a while won’t hurt her!! Don’t listen to other people, if you cook fresh food everyday then it’s really not gonna hurt is it.

What she said ^

It's fine. Just ignore your sil.

Nope it's fine
An occasional frozen crappy precooked meal is fine. You have added in veg.
She deserves what she wants after these jags.
Your Sil is a prat---ignore

Tell your SiL to mind her own business and go judge someone else fgs!
The odd ready meal won't hurt her its a balanced meal too, with fish and veggies and will cheer her up.

Nope, its fine. You've added extra veggies too. Let her eat it watching TV, I bet SIL will object to that as well!

Stop fishing for compliments

Haha I see what you did there. Cod one grin]

Yes its a terrible meal you are a dreadful mother!

oh come on! Does it matter what your child eats as long as they eat some kids in this country go hungry.

SIL sounds like hard work, dont let her get to you. You know there's nothing wrong with the meal your DS requested.

Nothing wrong with that dinner imo. She has had a rubbish day getting jags she deserves what tea she wants to cheer her up

If SIL's that bothered she can cook your DD's dinner herself.

It is fine as a one off - just watch the salt levels - though a kids ready meal will have much lower salt than an adult one.

Miss Mary - I did need to ask or I wouldn't have posted.

Im not a massive fan of frozen food tbh as I'm mindful of salt content etc so wanted the opinion of other parents

Yes a kid's ready meal will be much better nutritionally. I think the Annabel Karmel ones are good.

Food is the new religion. It has everything - schisms, cults, fierce wars over dogma, fanatics, martyrs, guarantee of eternal life

Frozen veg are actually higher in nutrients.

Paw - the veg is fresh bar the peas

Tell her to get to fuck (in a much politer way of course).

Is this a stealth boast that your DD gets a home cooked meal from scratch every night normally?

It's not my plaice to judge.

Why do you have to ask? You have worded your OP in such a way that everyone will agree with you, so what was the point? If this really was a dilemma for you, you could perhaps talk to your health visitor about nutrition as you are making out you are a bit clueless.

School closed today so we have slummed it. Lots of toast and jam, some porridge, biscuits, sandwiches and some yogurt and fruit. Letting the kids pretty much have a pick want u want day
