To object to biscuits being served at NCT coffee mornings ?

[katwith3kittens]

I've just started going to my local NCT coffee mornings and I'm surprised to find that at all of the 5 or so homes I've been in all the kids are getting biscuits whilst the mums have coffee and cake.
I know I'll probably end up hosting one of these things one morning but I dont like the idea of providing sweet stuff for the under 2's. Wouldnt dried fruit or rice cakes be more appropriate ???

is the odd bicky all that bad?even a rich tea?

bet you've only got one dc.

[snort]

I'm sure all the under-twos will be delighted with their dried fruit whilst they watch their mothers tuck into cake

is this a wind up?

Once a week at tea group, Gawd it will definitely kill them

OMG ! I must have met you 3 at the last coffee morning then ...

(3 DC btw)

As long as you don't offer them a fruit shoot

seriously? a few biscuits?

i am clearly a terrible mother

LOLOLOLOLOL

Aw come on, I felt like this with DD1, but not any more. It's nice to feel that their little bodies are temples, but I guarantee you will look back on this with a when you have another child!!

we have cheesy flapjacks or cheese straws or breadsticks with hummus

In fact, should you be serving coffee and cakes to the over 2s? Water and rice cakes all round I reckon.

cheesy flapjacks??

My god, where are all these threads coming from the last couple of days?!

Who are these people who are so utterly offended by biscuits?

Thank fuck I dont know them.

..is this for real...
Bring on the rice cakes - oh yum yum

for a snack today DD1 had some celery

Giving an under-2 a biscuit every now and then is traditionally referred to as a "treat" and is unlikely to induce instant obesity.

It really isn't a big deal. If you don't want to serve biscuits/cake, of course that's your prerogative, but be prepared to find others do not share either your view or your rice cakes.

Sorry.

snigger!

ah, substitute all sugar for cheese. I see

if you think the mums can eat cake and the two year olds get raisins - you must have a different sort of two year old to me but anyway if you object then you can just say no

this thread has to be a wind up, either that or I am going to give up on ms altogether, I dont think I belong here, and I'm off to eat a hob nob to get over it.

My two year old would have turned up her nose at biscuits let alone rice cakes if cake were in the picture.
