My DH gave our two year old breakfast this morning and

[Teegan89]

it was an assortment of random unhealthy snacks… 🤔 Yes, I appreciate he was in a rush but aibu to think is pretty bad? I mean how long does it take to throw some fruit and yogurt in a bowl. Give me strength 🙄

Because it’s ultra processed crap with no nutritional value. It’s a problem because the OP has said that both her and her DH have a weight problem and they don’t want the same for their DD.

This gave me a laugh! 😂

It reminds of when my Dad cooked our dinner when we were little and he made pasta topped with one egg.

No, what means you have incredibly low standards are your own words....

Men i dont understand their brains.
But i would just laugh it off as a one off dad moment just tell him to do toast next time.

And your reply to the PP who said.... "My attitude? It's just holding fathers as accountable as mothers which is hardly earth shattering or it shouldn't be."

Oh FGS get a grip

Not to mention your other posts on this thread.

Perhaps you'd like to ponder your standards when it comes to men as parents, over your custard creams and cup of tea?

Having ultra processed food in the house doesn't mean a parent is forced to feed it to their toddler at mealtimes.

It won't affect their child (which is what this thread is about) if they don't feed it to her.

Thank you have a good day.

And you had time to photograph it?

what a great treat breakfast. No problem at all if its an occasional treat

You mean a cardboardy slice of sugar? Just going to log that with 101.

We all have days like these. Your toddler will live on. Give your DH a break.

Oh wow.

Did you take the photo, Op? If so, why didn't you change it quick for cereal and milk/yogurt??

I work at a school where some of our children don't get breakfast at home (so we provide it). They would be over the moon with this. Its really nothing to get so incensed about. I would speak to DH and remind him that your DC needs a more wholesome breakfast but at least DC is eating something.

Jesus Christ. And I suspect he thinks this is all fun and adorable, right? How else would you have seen?

Someone that inept, who can't muster up a piece of toast or a bowl of Weetabix for a toddler's breakfast and cares so little about them they think giving them biscuits and cake is adequate is not someone I would wish to remain partnered with.

I once worked with a, woman who gave her 3 sons cookies and milk as a treat breakfast once a week.

I would say this if a husband wrote in to complain about his wife as well but seriously if it's a one - off and they are otherwise a great parent let it slide.

It's not great, but as a one off I wouldn't get that worked up about it - I'd tell him it wasn't suitable and that he should do better next time.

On the other hand if these are things you clearly don't want your dd to have, and you say you and your dh struggle with your weight, why do you even have them in the house?

You would 'remind' a grown man that biscuits aren't a good choice?!? Do you really think he doesn't already know that but is so lazy and so selfish that he doesn't care?

Jfc. The low standards that some women will endure to have the prize of a man are jaw dropping.

Or - how about - don't have kids with men who aren't going to be able to parent without reminders.

Days like what?

The OP hasn't said her DH has had any kind of day.

All she's said is that as a grown up and a parent, he couldn't see how it might be problematic?

Days when you fail to feed your child home grown quinoa watered with the tears of nuns for breakfast.

They would be over the moon with this.

I'm sure they would.

Oats, for instance, are very inexpensive of course and high in nutrients including one of the best types of fibre. Or basic non-treaty cereal like cornflakes or whatever, which is fine if not eaten for every meal.

I like to balance carbs, healthy fat and protein in my meals but not every meal has to be like that as it can balance out over the day. Complex carbs are great for energy to get through the morning.

My (now ex) husband did almost exactly this once. It's so that you decide that he can't be trusted to do it so you always do it in future and don't ask him again. It's deliberate and nasty, it's just as quick to do toast and a banana.

I had ice cream for breakfast once. I was depressed.
your DH probably did this so you’d never ask him to serve your DC breakfas again

Did you really just type that??

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at you thinking a grown man might need reminding that a 2 year old might need something more wholesome for breakfast, than a bowl full of bloody biscuits and cake.

And as for 'at least DC is eating something', there was never a question of the child refusing to eat a wholesome breakfast 🙄

If he had poured milk over it then he’d have given the same breakfast as millions of other wains around the country had, just disguised as cereal.

I’d be a bit really!!! but honestly nobody is hurt. I’d be annoyed at my wife posting my failings on the tinternet though.

Where do you buy Tears of Nuns? In a Popeular supermarket?
