Refusing to buy certain cereals for my DC?

[Ricekrispie22]

Does anyone else refuse to buy Coco Pops, Krave, Cookie Crisp and such like for their DC on the principle that 11g of sugar (more than a Freddo) for breakfast is just wrong?

Coco Pops for birthdays and Christmas only. I’m not sure the DC know of the existence of Krave.

We have a cereal cupboard with over 20 different types of cereal in, as i’ll try anything to get ds14 to eat breakfast. They all have one bowl full taken because he always goes back to porridge. I just wish he would eat it in the morning before school. He will daily during the holidays but doesn’t like eating first thing.

Birthdays, Christmas and if we’re on holiday we’ll buy a multipack so she can have coco pops. I’ve never bought coco pops for everyday breakfasts, and I’m incredibly relaxed about food.

What do your children/you have for breakfast if they don’t have cereal?

A fag and a bowl of black coffee. It's cereal, not heroin.

Nothing w more than 6% sugar here. Balanced diets dont start w a bowl full of sugar for brwakfast in my book.

Never bought them. Dc have always had porridge and fruit, so I've just left it at that. I like to get off to a good start with food, then if everything goes tits up, at least they had a good breakfast. If you start with coco pops, you're on the back foot for the rest of the day playing catch up.

We buy the chocolate cereals in the holidays too. Tbh the children have a bit and then go back to the normal selection.

I'm always in awe of people who offer cooked breakfast every day. I'd never have the time in the mornings before the race out the door!

My kids (20 and almost 17) eat what I eat, I'm type 2 diabetic on medication so the less sugar the better.
Oat crisp..love it, special flakes.. Tesco's I think.. weatabix and shreddies.. and oh so simple, that's about it for me...

I wouldn't be! I often cook breakfast but DD is a Tasmanian Devil at getting ready so we have loads of time. It's the parents with DC who eat

Who impress me. I'd stab myself in the eye.

We have Krave, weetbix and some kind of Tesco brand cookie crunch at the minute. Sometimes they have cereal, sometimes toast/eggs/porridge. I’m relaxed about food. None of us are big breakfast eaters anyway so it’s not like they’re eating huge boxes of the stuff every week.

Why not meat from Aldi ?

What times breakfast Maryanne ? 😋

My dgc had pancakes everyday on holiday!!!

But on holiday it's cooked for me 😄

Nd though tempted not boughta Krispie cream

t board school in 50's and most disgusting slop of slimes lumpy porridge

Yes. My DS (4) has homemade porridge, weetabix or toast/fruit for breakfast. Those cereals are full of crap. But at his dad's he has cheerios or coco pops

@Spacezombies, BIL is 53 and has false teeth.

I don’t buy cereal. Dd has seeded toast & almond butter, porridge, silly egg, eggy bread or natural yogurt and fruit. Find t hard to understand why people think that cereal and milk is an acceptable food? It’s total crap, might as well feed your kid sawdust for breakfast.

Silly egg! My new favourite thing. DIPPY egg

I just buy oats to make porridge. I don't like sugary cereal

I buy sweet cereals (coco pops or Cheerios) sometimes. The majority of the time they eat porridge or weetabix so I don’t see the harm.

The only thing I wouldn’t ever buy again if my life depended on it is a cereal called Nougat Pillows from Lidl. Fuuuuuckkkk. We bought them in the summer as the dc wanted to try. Imagine coco pops, but covered in sugar. Then mix some icing sugar into the milk. Then more sugar. So sweet the whole box went in the bin after one mouthful, the dc wouldn’t touch them 🤢

I buy it and I don’t care if I’m judged for it. They don’t eat it every morning they are equally as likely to have cheese or meat on (wholemeal) toast, plain yogurt and fruit, porridge or eggs. I just treat it as food of which we always have lots of options available they don’t see it as a treat so don’t grab at it as soon as it arrives in the house.
I’ll bet good money that more people buy it than say they do on here but won’t say because of all the sanctimonious my child only eats organic oatmeal I harvested myself posts that appear on these threads.

Or spinach pancakes

I love spinach. I love pancakes. Never actually had them together but meh.

But for breakfast? Spinach pancakes? Really?
