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 🙄

Another one with low standards when it comes to very basic parenting 🙄

The excuses being made for this man is I imagine why so many dads get away with shit parenting.

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

It's a little Indulgence.

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.

Aww bless.

This is poor. Cereal or weatabix doesn't take much effort. Even toast or a crumpet.

@DinnaeFashYersel
There's rather a lot of space in between biscuits and quinoa.

So many people (the male apologists) missing the point of this. Of course as a one off biscuits are fine. But that isn't what this is!! This isn't a one off - it's a useless man making sure he never has to make breakfast for his child as it's womens work.

The phrase "strategic incompetence" springs to mind

That’s disgraceful

I find this all so depressing. Honestly and then these men wonder why the wife doesnt even like him or want to be affectionate with him anymore, this sort of stuff would just eat at my soul. Its so pathetic.

It reminds me of the breakfast that my charges used to eat when I was au pairing in Spain….about 6 digestives dunked in warm milk. We live in Italy now and the standard Italian kids breakfast is biscuits and milk too!

He was kind enough to get her dressed and ‘fed?’ Well doesn’t he deserve a pat on the back for helping out with his own child.

Why on earth would a grown man think that two biscuits, a mini roll and a flapjack (?) would be a suitable breakfast for a child? I hate these kind of posts. It’s like when a dad has to get their child dressed and they’ve put the child in tights, trousers that are too short and a long sleeve top when it’s 29 degrees outside.

It’s pathetic

I'd have been so angry with him.

I’d have been really annoyed. Cereal doesn’t take long at all. I could maybe understand the biscuits but why he’d give her a cake for breakfast is beyond me.

I actually gasped when I saw your photo. What a lazy bastard.

It it not the best. That being said some cereals are not much better as they are full of sugar.

To be fair, all the people suggesting cereal are possibly feeding their dc just as much of a UHP good and probably as much sugar as in this bowl

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

The supermarket ones are so heavily processed. We get ours straight from the convent.

And that definately wasn’t a snack after a bowl of porridge and banana, or boiled egg and soldiers?

Is he Italian? They quite often eat a load of sweet crap for breakfast that they then don't eat the rest of the day.

It’s highly unlikely that a serving of your average breakfast cereal has even half as much sugar as a chocolate mini roll, flap jack and 2 biscuits.
Never mind the fact that at least cereals have added vitamins plus are served with milk.

Are they free range though?- the nuns?

Another feckless idiot husband that Mumsnet seems to specialise in.

Are they free range though?- the nuns?

It's not realistic to expect convents to have enough space for free range nuns to roam about, so principles have to be compromised somewhere.

My dc went through a stage of refusing breakfast. I took eating shots of and an apple as a win many mornings.

Is this a one off and does she eat healthily the majority of the time? If yes - why worry. No one on Mn eats perfectly all the time

I just showed my husband your picture, he says that you son would eat it... so he's been given advice on breakfast too.

My son often has a few berries, banana and yoghurt with half a slice of toast. No more effort than getting the cakes and biscuits out.
