My DH gave our two year old breakfast this morning and

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 🙄

Be more mindful?

He would have got far worse from me for that appalling "effort". That would be poor for my MIL, who once gave mine hot dogs for breakfast as they asked for sausages and she didn't have any.

My favourite breakfast (a very rare occurrence obviously!) is a cup of tea and a packet of rolo's - pure bliss!

However, to throw a pile of crap into a bowl and call it "breakfast" is beyond lazy, it actually shows a lack of care and consideration for the child.

😂but also 😭
what a hopeless spoon!

Why didn't he just give the toddler cereal. Takes no effort unless he needs to spoon feed them.

My autistic 3 year old has a little dairy milk bar and a baby bottle of formula each morning - the dietician told us don’t worry it’s just calories 🤦‍♀️ have to laugh or I’ll cry but I know she is talking sense !

I remember one time our now 24 year old got chocolate pudding for breakfast courtesy of his dad. He was a toddler. He thought all his Christmases had come and knew enough to scoff it down before I appeared in the kitchen 😂

It's not a big deal as a one off, I wouldn't worry about it.

So she'd have stopped her toddler from eating it presumably?

Is this a weaponised incompetence thing? Don't ask me to feed our child. I'm useless and they will only eat shit on my watch. The tactics.

Keep them and serve them up for dinner.

It seems to me your lazy husband needs more practice at doing breakfast. Looking at that I would suggest at least 6 months worth is needed.

Rice krispies or weetabix with milk is just as easy. Still full of sugar but at least they are fortified with vitamins, plus the milk.

What's the problem with this?

That's a rubbish breakfast, though I bet the toddler loved it!

How did you manage to take a photo?

Yeah he's absolutely done that on purpose. I take it he doesn't have much responsibility for the kids in general? And when he does its begrudgingly.

Might as well have given the toddler a bowl of Tate and Lyle. There’s cutting corners and then there’s that.

Incidentally, @Teegan89 , what was the two year old doing while you too the picture?

Hot dogs = sausages. It’s not as if they were requesting cereal and were handed a crack pipe.

Is he Italian? That looks like a typical Italian breakfast to me.
Good luck trying to get LO to eat porridge ever again!

That's pretty much my dream breakfast. I'm 38.

I'd not be happy with that. He's either entirely useless, an idiot or a lazy git.

What a lazy fuck.

I hope you present your DH with a plastic bowl full of crisps for his dinner tonight.

Surely this wasn’t actually given to the child? As whomever took the photo clearly did so because they knew it was entirely inappropriate and so presumably didn’t give it to a toddler.

Why does something have to be the 'end of the world' for an OP to be annoyed about it?

I'd be annoyed at the obvious 'I don't give a fuck' from the child's dad.

When a man is fucking lazy and irresponsible telling him to 'be more mindful' is absurd and ridiculous.

I grew up thinking custard was breakfast because my mum used to make it all the time.

My MIL used to give my two toast followed by 2 biscuits for breakfast when she looked after them - they loved it! Me not so much, but it was a small price to pay for her looking after them once a week while I went to work 😊
