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 🙄

That's the nicest 'fuck you and the horse you rode in on' I've ever read on here. 😁

Exactly.

I will never stop being surprised at just how low the standards are for some women or that they actually would find something like this a funny 'dad moment'.

Breakfast of champions

Have never known such a trivial thread about what a stranger's child has eaten ,cause so much fuss , it's ridiculous

You need to read the one about the rice crispies where the mum was fucking FURIOUS her toddler had been given a bowl of rice crispies for breakfast. It was completely and utterly insane.

I read the words 'steel cut oats' more times than I ever cared to, because apparently that (and eggs) are the only acceptable breakfasts.

Is he stupid?

I dont think anyone is stupid but some of the comments are.

I honestly don’t think he understands how that ‘breakfast’ was problematic.

That's not good!

I mean generally kids just eat the same or some variation of what their parents have.

So not that hard to figure!

Edited to add-I made more effort with the dog's breakfast this morning!😁

What are both of your working hours?

I do think the person working PT should do more of the childcare and housework etc but he WFH and he’s having breakfast at the same time as his DD, so why would he not just do it every morning.

He should be doing 50/50 before work, after work and weekends.

Mine LOVES rice krispies. That, a yogurt and a banana and she's had her fave brekkie. Nothing wrong with them if they'll eat them and they've fuelled their day.

He’s a good dad, I honestly don’t think he understands how that ‘breakfast’ was problematic.

I think you mean 'He loves his child' surely?, which is completely different.

He's a grown adult and a parent. He's partly responsible for his child's food and nutrition.

There is either no way on God's earth that he's ever taken an interest in his child's meals, or he's just too lazy to care.

In fact I'd bet money that if you asked a 6 year old if they thought that was a decent breakfast for a 2 year old, even they would say no.

Not exactly a marker of a good dad is it?

I’m glad you clarified that as I was wondering what on Earth an acceptable breakfast
is if cereal and overnight oats are a no @DeathRattleDazzle

Low suger rusk like breakfast biscuits, not this sugary crap.

I once gave my dgs ice cream for breakfast. I told him he could have what he wanted, choice of fresh fruit, yoghurt, bacon roll, muesli, granola different cereals etc. and he asked for jam on toast and ice cream. He said to me, you said I could have what I wanted, that’s what I want! So he got it.

The rice crispies thread kept going on and on about 'sugary puffs of air' 😂

Ah, MN. 🥣

As a one off it’s ok.

silly daddy.

if this is the worst parenting offence he has done. IMO he’s doing alright.

Some women have such low standards it’s quite sad actually.

If OP was feeding this to her child I can guarantee that she wouldn’t be getting a free pass for having a ‘mum moment’.

Its sad that the mum is supposed to know what to feed their child, but the dad gets a pass simply because he’s the dad.

These are the types of women who are grateful when a dad ‘babysits’ his own kids.

So...on this thread for breakfast

Fruit - no
Cereal - no
oats - no

What the fuck do I feed my kid for breakfast? is toast ok?

I ate junk for breakfast when the most depressed and stressed in my entire life. It made me feel even more like shit and I was always conscious of how I was neglecting my body.

Coffee is right: it’s inappropriate for anyone, let alone a toddler who doesn’t know about health and nutrition.

Of course it’s not the end of the world as a one-off but the OP says they both struggle with their weight and really doesn’t want the same for her child. We all know how bloody unreasonable toddlers are. (My nephew tantrums if he can’t cut fruit with a very sharp knife, for example.) So I wouldn’t be at all surprised if a toddler given this wanted the same the very next day.

He just sounds like a lazy shit.

And OP, just because you work part time, when he’s not in work, it’s 50:50.

Going purely by your posts on this thread, I think your standards are incredibly low.

And what actually is a 'Dad moment'?

Do you laugh incompetent parenting by women off as 'mum moments'?

Breakfast should be quite easy to sort.

on a lazy day it looks like a piece of toast with butter or jam

cereal is an easy choice

like you said - an assortment of fruits are much easier (it takes a while to open up multiple biscuit packets)

That’s awful. I’d be extremely pissed off. One of those items wouldn’t hurt in addition to something healthy as an occasional extra. But all of those sugary treats and nothing healthy is awful. Really just as easy to give some cereal and/or banana.

Pride?! At making breakfast??!

If having a biscuit with my tea in the morning means i have very low standards then ok im low.
Do have a lovely day though.

'Kind enough'?? To give his own child breakfast??

Seriously?

What???

Presumably he holds down some sort of responsible job so why infantilise him?
