To be a bit gutted when dcs don’t eat nursery tea

[gruffaloapplecrumble]

As now I have to cook - best thing about nursery days is someone else feeding them!

Just give them a sandwich or picnic, you don't have to cook.

Yep me too! Pasta is the go to with me.

Nursery never gives them enough at teatime so mine always wanted food anyway- from about age 3. Before that no cooking needed 😂

But what do you eat? Surely you need to cook either way

YANBU

I'd be giving them a light tea/picky bits though not a proper dinner. They've eaten properly at lunchtime.

If they don’t eat it ask nursery if you can take it home for them to eat later?

It’s rare for us but I always have a stash of toddler microwave meals just in case for times like that. 😂

No YANBU if an evening meal is part of the deal! I would be gutted haha

How much does your nursery feed?

Our portions are rubbish, my son has always had breakfast at home before nursery breakfast and tea at home after nursery tea, from a year old.

They never seem to want much after nursery although I know some children who have full meals so I guess everyone is different, they’ve eaten a good dinner now though. They don’t tend to eat picnics to be honest.

Mine used to just have a sandwich and veg sticks or fruit or yogurt

My youngest used to eat several helpings at nursery and still wanted to eat more at home.

Soup and toast 'soldiers' always went down well when my two were small.

One is just a baby so hard to just stick whatever in front. She won’t sleep now either. Sigh.

DD has always eaten her meals backwards, she has a big breakfast, medium sized lunch and just picks at dinner so tends to have things like crumpets with scrambled eggs or stuff on toast.
