Is this a crap dinner?

[mumpatrol]

Currently juggling 3yo and a baby so not sure if I'm coming or going sometimes.
Randomly we were on the topic of dinners today and my friend commented that what my DS1 is having for dinner "isn't very good for him" and "is it just one of those weeks?" She is very into everything organic and made from scratch so I don't know if she's a bit OTT to say it or if she has a point.

He's having red pesto pasta with peas and chicken breast.
Yesterday he had a chicken drumstick with cous cous, tomatoes and carrot sticks (carrots are his favourite).
Tomorrow he's having cottage pie with carrots, onion and cauliflower in with the beef sauce and with sweet potato on top rather than regular potatoes.

Through the day he will snack on stuff like rice cakes, fruit or yogurt. The occasional digestive. His favourite lunchtime snack is buttered toast, cheese, lots of cucumber and will usually ask for either a banana or some other fruit.

AIBU to think it's not too bad?

Your friend is an asshat. Just roll your eyes when she says that stuff.

Those all sound like good meals.
Your friend sounds rather judgy, TBH.

What?! Of course it's crap...why aren't you feeding him organic chia seed and kale smoothie?!

She sounds like a twat imo

That sounds just fine.

In the heat this week we've had some truly random dishes so yours sound like perfect parenting to me.

My d's had a bowl of fruit when she got in yesterday evening then we just did some garlic dough balls to snack on for tea.

Sounds perfectly fine to me. I thought you were going to say he was having nutella on toast followed by donuts or something.

She's mad. Your menu sounds great!

Did you ask in what way it was bad for him? She's taking shite btw

Talking*

Relax. Your friend is an arse. By the time her child is 4 it will only eat mcdonalds..... roll eyes and ignore.

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and boiling. My toddler is having a picky dinner tonight , an apple , a hotdog , some cheese chunks whatever bits I can chuck together. I know I’m being lazy but it’s boiling and I don’t care. She’s an idiot.

That sounds a lot healthier than our meals! I wish my DS would eat that! He's insanely fussy. 🙈

Is it all shop bought stuff?

I personally wouldn’t offer rice cakes as a snack - cheese / milk / vegetable sticks is probably better.

Pah , she's trying to out mother you
ignore her
Did you actually ask for her opinion ?

Your friend is a dickhead.

Wow I wish you would cook for me, sounds delicious - and healthy.

Wow! Lovely varied diet! Lucky little chap! Ignore judge friend.

That's brilliant food for a 3 year old. I'd ask your friend if she'd sought help for her orthopedic tendencies.

Orthorexic

Phone is stupid

And what,pray tell, is she feeding her kid. Thought you were going to say pizza every night. Yours sound great meals well done you

I think what my kids eat is far far worse... yours sounds amazing. I don’t see anything wrong with it.

Crikey I thought you were going to say that he has 20p noodles for every meal.

With friends like that who needs enemies?! Sounds great to me, nothing to feel bad about there.

Those meals sound better than your friend is.
