Scone, butter,jam & clotted cream for DD6 breakfast?

[tinkerbellone]

Surely it's ok as a one off... carbs, dairy, fruit
I was feeling poorly and we were late for school.
What's the most random breakfast your DC have had ?

avasarala if only we could all be as perfect as you. Will stay tuned for the thread in a few years when you're asking for advice on how to deal with your pre teen binging on sugary snacks in secret

OP, your house sounds fun and I'd like to come for breakfast. I hope the cream went on before the jam though!

Obviously on the days when we're not having scones or pancakes or maple syrup waffles for breakfast, we eat quinoa, raw cashews and chickpeas with drain water. Then we hit ourselves with brambles as an extra punishment.

When DD was small, she thought that any food in a brown paper bag was "McDonalds". We do eat McDo from time to time now but back then I think her only experience of it was from a little party at a neighbour's house where the hosting Dad brought a McDo takeaway for all the kids to eat while watching a film, so I guess DD had seen the brown bag containing yummy chips.

DD attends the school I teach at. One day she told the teacher on patio duty that Daddy had given her cold McDonald's for breakfast on the bus. It was a muffin in a brown paper bag grabbed by DH when he was rushing to get her to school that morning. The teacher in question is a close friend...this got back to me...I interrogated DH about his shameful parenting...about a week later we'd all managed to work out the parts of the story.

In our house, we now refer to anything in a brown paper bag as McDonald's.

DH makes the kids' breakfasts these days so they get nice stuff like strawberries, freshly squeezed juice, or warm milk. He's much more patient and indulgent than me at stupid o'clock in the morning!

The only acceptable way to eat weetabix is buttered with honey. Like a big Ryvita with nice stuff on to hide the taste.

How is a scone and cream and jam any worse than pancakes and syrup etc. My 3 year old currently will only eat waffles and banana in a morning or cheerios. It's better than nothing. A scone isn't gonna kill her is it? I am currently pregnant and when I was in the middle of my bad sickness at the beginning I gave my dd a jaffa cake, a banana and a yogurt for her breakfast cause I couldn't stop vomiting long enough to find something else. She's hasn't suffered any ill effects as of yet.

Doesn’t the Weetabix still sort of explode, though, even with a top glue of butter ?

And I think Ava.. might be, um, teasing. My children loved fish of all kinds so had no problem with bones but I think the removal of all those very fine bones in even a carefully prepared kipper fillet might be a challenge to the patience at breakfast time for a child.

Yup, like sticky hamster bedding.

Our rule is that on Christmas Day you can eat whatever you want for breakfast. I think I shared a chocolate orange with dd last year.

Laughing at judgey pants moaning about the sugar content in a jam and scone then gives her kids sweets every single day!! Haha.

Anyway mine is birthday cake. It was from the previous day. They would be at school for lunch and I didn’t want to ruin dinner so when they said ‘oh pleeease’ I gave in.

But my DD had just joined ‘change for life’ club at school which promoted exercise and healthy eating. They only bloody well asked her what she’d had for breakfast that day. Oh the shame!

Can’t believe Ava gives her children wheat for breakfast. Time to read up on the harmful effects of gluten.

Also cooked food? Well I hope you use a pan for the eggs and not the microwave at least. That will salvage any nutrients. Raw food is the way to go though.

Sweets once a day is just shocking and unnecessary. You may as well give them the jam?? What are you teaching them by this much indulgence?

Oh sorry, I was being an arsehole for a minute there.

Love reading the random breakfasts we have!
As an adult I think mine was a cocktail (I was in Ibiza and 22 )

Bloody hell avasarala sounds like a right hoot...

My husband once babysat our goddaughter and gave her s wedge of icing as a snack

Ahhh you can't condem weetabix !! I love it too but only with hot milk and NOTHING else no fruit, yogurt or honey etc etc !!!

Birthday cake the morning after my birthday - it was always my favourite part of birthdays when I was little!

I'm sure my DM balanced it out with a very nutritious and balanced lunch and dinner (definitely wouldn't have been crisp sandwich for lunch and something like chicken kiev, chips, peas and sweetcorn...) we probably chucked in some fruit too for good measure!

There are worse things kids can have for the occasional breakfast than scones!

Or poached eggs with smoked kipper

Is this a joke?

😂😂😂
My home made jam and scones (no sugar) probably have less sugar per spoonful when we have them ( not every day) than sweets, actual sweets, every day!

(But no clotted cream 😝)
Get over yourself Avas

If we have had chinese takeaway on a Friday night they happily eat cold chinese leftovers on a saturday morning😀

Mmmmm avas. Poached eggs and smoked kipper!

I'd much rather be sitting near OP than your lot in a morning!

Smoke me a kipper Mummy. No child ever said.

Kippers? Stuff that. Give me a cream tea for breakfast any day. In fact ...

Mine had leftover Christmas pudding and vanilla ice cream one late December day last year.

By the way, we were sugar avoiders for our PFB. The effect this had was to make him obsess about sweet stuff when he finally experienced it at parties etc, and would gorge himself, a couple of times to the point of vomiting. We had a much more balanced approach with our youngest (they are several years apart) needless to say!

I made my three year old tuna pasta for breakfast the other day. He asked, and I couldn’t think of a valid reason why not!

Avas - your dc are allowed sweets regularly but you're objecting to the OP giving her dc jam on one occasion? How unbelievably hypocritical.

DS often has frozen peas before his Cheerios.

Scones are fine. My DC have plain ones regularly. As a child I frequently had leftover boozey puddings if my parents had had a dinner party the night before. Yum!

ImpatientWino my kids have hummus and breadsticks almost every day for breakfast! I put cucumber, tomatoes, or sliced apple on the side.
