My DSD stays with us a lot and recently really likes a certain chocolate cereal. I forgot to get any in this weeks shop and she's being all sulky about it (she's 8yo).

The other options we have are:
Coco pops
Ready Brek
All bran (if she chose this I'd faint!)
Eggs, Bacon, Beans etc
Fruit (including nice berries etc)
Yoghurt

But it's like I'm asking her to eat sawdust or gruel!!! (We don't have any other children, so it's not like I've got them their favourite breakfast and she's feeling left out).

AIBU to be boiling up with anger inside?!!

Aren’t coco pops as bad as Krave?
She sulked and you boiled with rage? If she’s used to having it every time she visits then sulking at 8 isn’t that unexpected, I guess.

I think you need to take a step back and relax a bit —lot— because there’ll be bigger storms coming in the next few years when she reaches puberty.

You have coco pops so hardly too much of a sacrifice! I would offer pancakes with fruit and yogurt, or French toast is a good standby
