Congratulations to several posters on here. You have illustrated beautifully what the OP was on about.
I am talking about the attack on @GunpowderGelatine who said she sometimes gives her kids a bit of fruit for breakfast, and a little snack for lunch when they're not bothered about eating much, and then gives them a full meal for dinner in the late afternoon/early evening.
It's a myth that we need 3 cooked meals a day, and if people buy into that, no wonder we have an obesity crisis. I have a yogurt and cereal bar for breakfast, a bowl of soup and crusty wholemeal bap for lunch, (or a quarter of a quiche, or an omelette,) and then a bigger (cooked) meal around 6pm. (Then maybe a couple of crackers with soft cheese spread on them at suppertime.)
On a Friday, I treat myself to fish and chips, or a pizza, and have a Chinese or Indian takeaway once a month. But I have never had 3 full cooked meals a day, (only the one in the evening,) and I often have only a couple of small snacks during the day. When my kids were young, they ate pretty much the same when they were at home. Le gasp! Call social services NOW.
I am middle aged, with grown children, and I've been eating like this for many years... Weirdly, I am not dead, nor underweight, in fact I am quite healthy, I walk 2 miles a day, every day, and I cycle 4-5 miles three times a week.
There's no reason to have 3 big cooked meals a day; most people don't need that.
In the school hols, when I was a kid, (late 1970's/early 80's,)I would have 2 slices of toast at 8am ish, then go off out for the day playing with my friends. I would grab a kitkat and a bag of cheese and onion crisps during the day (from the shop,) and would have my evening meal at 6 or 7pm. Very little healthy eating' and no 3 cooked meals a day - ever.
In addition, in the school holidays, when my kids were younger and living at home, they would sometimes have one weetabix for breakfast, and then we would go off out and have a mcdonalds at around 1.30pm (chicken nugget happy meal,) and then dinner/tea at around 6.30pm. What a terrible mother I am, and what a terrible mother MINE was.
FGS!

And I don't buy for a second that any form of parenting other people do on MN "upsets people", unless it is abusive, that's an excuse for sticking the knife in.
This 100%. The faux outrage on here when someone says they do something a certain way/do parenting a certain way, makes me laugh! They cried all night thinking about it, they were so enraged, they wished they knew who you were so they could call social services, and the old classic 'WOW, just WOW..........'
Pay no attention to them. Must be hard for them trying to soooooooooooo perfect all the time, and trying not to let that mask slip.
