WIBU to give my kids cereal for dinner?

[LoopyLou1981]

Just that really.
They’re going through a fussy eating stage and I’m too hot for another food battle!

If that’s what they want , it’s too hot to eat anyway .

Of course not, if they’re happy with it! My DD often asks for cereal for dinner after a nursery day. She went through a strange obsession with muesli.

In this weather it really is completely acceptable to eat whatever the fuck you can face. DD and i are bingeing on orange squash and 'eating' Frijj milkshakes.

I really don't like cereal for humans kids. Starchy crap generally. But it's not unreasonable. Needs must and all that.

Waiting for someone to come along and ask A) ‘Where’s the protein?!’ and B) Tell you that cereal has a lot of sugar in

It's breaded chicken nuggets, tomato sauce and bread and butter for the 2nd day running here for DD4 4. Going to try and persuade a bit of fresh fruit for afters. Peach or banana.

That's as good as it's getting tonight! She's asked for it specifically and i Cannot be arsed to argue, it's too hot. plus she's so fussy and eats so little i hate to refuse her when she actually requests specific food!

YANBU lovely, cold milk.

I want coco pops now 😫

Maybe try and get some fruit into them at the same time but in short no YANBU to give them lovely cold cereal.

P.S. For some reason freezing fruit made it much more palatable to mine. Frozen banana blended up = banana ice cream. Frozen raspberries = colds sweets.

Smoothies are good snack when you don't want to near the oven.

Just made DH one (he's got in from work and is about to go out digging foundations)(in this heat!) 2 bananas, big blob of peanut butter, handful of spinach and lots of lovely cold fresh milk. Better than a stodgy bacon butty. Went down a treat.

Go for it. Every Saturday evening DM made us porridge and toast which we ate watching Dr Who. In summer we had cornflakes and toast. I still remember that fondly and it felt a real treat. I didn’t have the awareness as a kid to wonder why we had that for dinner but obviously my exhausted DM with 3 kids, a full time job and no bloody help whatsoever from DF, was too knackered to do anything else.

Top tip: ice cubes in the cereal milk.

Nope not at All!! Mine are having big frankfurter sausages in baguette, even DH is having that 🤣🤣

I'm being more sophisticated and having sweet chilli turkey sausages in baguette 👍👍👍

Fried rice with all the old veg in it and a side of fish fingers here, and that's more damn cooking than I wanted to do. Cereal would have been a god send if they ate it.

I can't see any problem with that. If it's just an occasional thing,where's the harm? I frequently have cereal for dinner

We managed some bananas and some raspberries with it and yoghurt for ‘pudding’. That’s about as ‘balanced’ as it’s getting today! 😂

My ds 7 had fruit, yoghurt and a bowl of porridge for lunch, washed down with two big glasses of water. He ate, he was happy, I was happy, win-win.

Dairy lea dunkers here! Dinner of champions!

I’ve just eaten a box of Cadbury’s fingers in under 5 minutes - you’ll get no judgement from me! Chocolate not even a good choice in this heat, wtf is wrong with me 🙈😂

Might pinch this one
