to be annoyed at my mom for giving nephew a jaffa cake?

[stitch]

he is 11 months old.
the child eats everything you give him, and everythign he sees you eating. i wish she would drae the line at things like jaffa cakes. chocolate i can deal with. but not those orange jelly things in the jaffa cakes.

me too batters.

I bite all the chocolate off, then eat the cakey bit, then the marmalade (deprived child)

Definitely craving a JC!

Definitely craving a JC!

lol, sorry batters.
thank you for that ingredients lst. did you really type it all out? now i feel bad about making you do all that.
i didnt know it was curcumin. for some reason i thought it was tartrazine.
his mom, my baby sister , is very very chilled. and she also knows that i am quite happy to make a spectacle of myself. which is probly why she is even more chilled.

jaffa cakes do not contain tartrazine. dd1 eats them with no issue. she cannot have tartrazine though.

tidgy, i do have lots of worse stuff toworry about, but its simpler to worry about the little stuff. makes life more bearable.

I'm quite chilled too and would be fine with my Mum giving my baby a jaffa cake.
I'd be a bit if my sister kicked off about it on my behalf though!

I had to resist the urge to go out to the shops and buy a pack.... Yummy things!

Mmmmmm I love Jaffa cakes, and we have some in the cupboard....

I give these to dd as I thought they were slightly less full of crap than other biccies (or are they cakes under EEC )

stitch - are you being sponsored by McVities?

lol, what an idea?
do you think i could call them up and demand something for theunwitting advertising i have afforded them?

yabu and so is she if she didn't give him a fruit shoot to wash it down..

Followed by a sausage roll

You could get a lifetime's supply of the things, stitch.

Hmmmmm.

My dd is allergic to eggs - I long for grandparents, friends, me.... anyone to be able to give her a jaffa cake!! Sniff! Until then I just have to chow down our family's quota singlehanded!

I still think that anyone should check with a parent before they give a child anything to eat, never mind something artificial/'bad'.

Yep its only a jaffa cake and not the end of the world but you can be miffed about it.
(ah, just seen that you are the aunty, sorry) I think the mum or dad would have a right to be a tiny bit annoyed, not an aunty.

My grandad gave dd a Twix last week.

She bloody loved it.

pam, at the time the mom was probly too busy argueing explaining the finer points of fair jaffa cake distribution, to my kids, her nephews, to notice what mom was doing,

My MIL gave dd a Thontons chocolate when she was 8mo. Dd went mad for more...

Thorntons of course

fizzbizz - what a waste!!

Well, I think it was very much enjoyed by dd!

LOL this thread has just made me go to our canteen and buy a snack pack of jaffa cakes.

Aldi jaffa cakes are the best I've ever given my dcs tasted
