Ok, so hear me out here!!!

In my opinion, DCs (6 and 4) are pretty healthy kids! They exercise a LOT and their diet is, I think, pretty ok!

Example

Breakfast - weetabix with fromage frais, honey and grapes

Snack - milk and a some fruit (or occasionally Pom bears or a 'YoYo' bar for a treat!!)

Lunch - sanwiches with cucumber slices and carrot sticks

Snack - banana or raisins

Dinner - tomato pasta or spaghetti bolognaise or something like that! With veg sticks

So ... my (usually amazing, very sane, very sensible and completely gorgeous lovely he's reading this!!) DH said tonight he thinks the children have too much sugar and we need to cut out the fromage frais and honey in the mornings?

I think ... 'well at least they don't scoff chocolate, don't eat takeaways, and they deserve at least something they like (life is too short to cut out everything, right?)'

So - what do you think!?

Husband is reading this! So please tell him to leave their breakfast alone! They are good, healthy, sporty kids and a fromage frais in the morning won't kill them!?

(Sadly, I am prepared to be told IABU, but you do realise DH will not let me forget it!!)

I doubt the DH was basing his comments on just one day's diet.

Disappointingly, the page titled "I've got the munchies!" isn't a description of Emma's spiralling decline into cannabis addiction

Love it. I would have really enjoyed reading Dr Ryan's version of Emma's pregnancy diary!

I can see where you're coming from but I agree with your husband.

Looking at some of the foods kids eat today then this diet is pretty good compared to those! BUT.. It's basically all just carbs and sugar.

There seems to be virtually no protein or healthy fats.
