To think this dinner is acceptable?

[chiquititaa]

My toddler who is 2.5 had a cod fish finger sandwich for tea and 2 more fish finger on the side, he finished the whole thing and I gave him some Jaffa cakes and a banana sucky yogurt thing, that he's eating just now, DH is just home from work and asked what ds had for tea, I told him what he had and he seems to think it's not enough for a growing 2.5 year old.

He can be very fussy and I'm thinking it's a win that he ate that much at all but I'm being made feel horrible by DH. Please let me know if you think this is enough for a toddlers tea?

Whenever I see "offer" in connection to toddler veg I have this image of a carrot on a tiny satin pillow being held out 😂

Can't you try giving him some poached water op?

I'd be worried it was a bit too much! I'd do the sandwich with some veg on the side and just one out of the jaffa cakes or yogurt.

Also marking my bingo card 😂

Mumsnet is a weird place. Feed your kids shit because it sounds cool, then defend their right to medicalise themselves with Mounjaro for the rest of their lives.

Why do you care if people want to take mounjaro? Nobody's making you take it.

I am surprised that your DH didn't point out the lack of wine or spirits to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients.

^STUPID COMMENT ALERT!!!

Ask the posters who have already commented about the lack of veg or 'why not an actual banana' who is/isn't vegetarian.

I preserve my own home-grown asparagus for emergencies like this.

Does it matter if there was no fruit or veg!
it’s one meal
i know someone who ate egg and chips every day for years as a kid
died at 93

Nobody mentioned vegetarians

Oh stop it how do you know what this posters son eats. Do you live on vegetables??

I'd add a side of edaname beans slowly steamed with some himalayan salt

What's poached water?

A nice glass of full sugar coke is all that's missing.

What's that?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

Scrolled to see how soon the carbs would be mentioned. Sweet baby jeebus blessed me with the third post.

VEGETATION not VEGETARIAN

Enough calories, maybe, but not nutritious.

Assuming the bread is supermarket slided bread, then the main meal is ultra-processed, as are the Jaffa cakes (as well as being full of sugar), and those fruit yogurts are packed with sugar.

She said he hasn't eaten a vegetable for years. I eat a lot of vegetables, yes, because unless you've been living under a rock for years it is scientifically proven that they are extremely nutritionally valuable.

You should have gone to Spec Savers.

Seems fine quantity wise. But is it nutritious? Assuming the fish fingers are bought, it’s ultra processed and sugary crap for pud.

But I’ve been in here so long, I suspect posts like these are for goady purposes only.

Well ok, up to you. I would be concerned if my dcs never ate a single vegetable, but some people don't give a shit.

There are a host of healthy foods and supplements that aren't vegetables. Vegetables are one food group
