AIBU to tell you about our gourmet carrots?

Prepping vegetables for dinner. Nearly 4yo DS walks into the kitchen while I’m peeling carrots. Asks for one; is given it.

I start chopping the carrots and throwing the round pieces into a saucepan. He asks if he can chop them; request denied.

He asks for another carrot, I give him one, thinking he’ll eat it. He proceeds to chomp round bits of carrot, spit them out, wipe the saliva off on his sleeve, and put them in the saucepan.

I shout for DH to join us in the kitchen to see DS helping with dinner prep.

DH observes for a bit and declares “If I get any of DS’s gourmet rustic carrots I’m putting them on his plate”.

Would you eat the gourmet carrots prepped by your DC? 🤭

The boiling water would kill any grimness. I sometimes eat my toddler's half chewed things because I can't be arsed to walk to the bin.

The gourmet carrots are adorable, when it's your own kid. I'm generally fine with anything that gets children interested in vegetables. Though I'd be 😧to be served them by anyone else obv.

Willy cake is foul and disgusting.

I would have let him chop with the knife by placing my hand over his for safety. I can't see the big deal about eating the carrots chomped by your own child which are going to be boiled anyway.

I have on more than one occasion taken a penis into my mouth. It was still attached to the owner.
A partly chewed carrot would pose no problem.
