Namechanger having a rant ok?

I have looked after her ds for the whole of the term- she was very grateful and ds was delighted that his mate came and stayed for tea once a week. She told me that her son was very fussy about food and she didn't feed him any junk- she gave me an idea of the stuff he likes to eat (although most of the time when I served something up he would ask me what it was ) But didn't seem fussy in way , shape or form.

I was a bit stuck today and she said she would collect ds from school. He has only just gone to bed now because he was so hungry he would have eaten a dried up old turd and has blitzed the contents o f the fridge. When I asked what he'd had to eat all afternoon he told me dairylea cheese FFS.

I called her to find out what else he had eaten and she confirmed that's what they both ate because she didn't have anything else in. Hw tricky is it to make a bit of toast or at least tell me he was hungry/didn't eat.

I may aswell have MUG written on my head. I feel like such a twit and that she has completely taken me for a ride.

isn't piriton white though, he might have, like, a double reaction?

Oblomov · 11/07/2008 21:09

This thread is well funny.
Laughing at posie who suggested that was all she had in becasue of the 'credit crunch'.
ha, ha. Crunch ? Crunch ? It would have been o.k. if her ds had been given ANYTHING to 'crunch' on.
Love it.

Bubble99 · 11/07/2008 21:10

Hmmmm. The OP has a hint of about it, for sure.

ihatedairyLea · 11/07/2008 21:11

Oblov. I hope your children are never treated so badly by a person in a position of trust. I wouldn't of cared if she'd offered at least some gristinni FCOL.

I'm with Wallace and Lobsterlass

Guadalupe · 11/07/2008 21:20

what's gristinni, is that a breadstick, grissini? Wouldn't you have preferred a cream cracker?

TurkeyLurkey · 11/07/2008 21:26

This thread's going to get me going like that AIBU one about Nutella a while ago.

I'll end up buying a pack.

ihatedairyLea · 11/07/2008 21:33

yes a cracker would have been great, of course.

1dilemma · 11/07/2008 21:33

this is so funny
I reckon she had loads of food she's just tight and didn't want to feed your ds
otherwise I feel sorry for her poor ds if that really is all he eats

Guadalupe · 11/07/2008 21:34

a spelt one baked with emmental and three seeds wouldn't be asking too much would it?

ihatedairyLea · 11/07/2008 21:36

You are being silly any kind of carbs would have been fine and slightly more filling.

I hope she chokes on the Chateauposh steak.

DairyLea, no you have misunderstood my post.
I was just saying what a fab thread it had been.
Come on, you have to admit, it has been well funny and many of the replies have been hilarious.
But I do sympathise. I can't BELIEVE she didn't have even a stale cracker or a breadstick, or something for your ds. I am in agreement with you.
Hope you are taking this the right way.

PMSL at some of the replies on this thread. DH thinks I am totally nuts as couldn'r even get the words dariylea out for laughing

Dairylea I think that this is an awful way to treat any child. Does she seriously give her child only dairylea for his Dinner. How can you have nothing else in. Most people would have pasta or something. Even cereal would be better than that

Oblomov · 11/07/2008 21:59

madamez, do they make these :knob in knob shapes now ?

ihatedairyLea · 11/07/2008 22:02

Oblo

You have to go to a dirty supermarket for those.

I think Morrisons do them, they are next to the Feta cubes.

The thing I found slightly odd is that the op didn't seem to remember to say that her son is intolerant to dairy until quite far into the thread. I would have thought that this fact would have been better mentioned in the first post.

Anyway, my dd is intolerant to egg - anyone that knows her or provides food for her knows this, as does she. It would just not happen that my dd would go to a friend for supper/dinner/tea and be offered one fried egg for example, and if she did (by some miracle) agree to eat it, be told to "eat more eggs" if she was still starving/hungry/peckish.

madamez I am PMSL
