To expect my nanny NOT to feed my two year old a McDonalds Happy Meal?

I know it's not the end of the world and he is nearly three but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect her to ASK me, at least, before takes him out and stuffs him full of chicken nuggets and chips for lunch.

I'm not against McD's as such, but he's still really little and there's no need to take him there yet - it's not a bloody treat - as she seems to think.

I think that's what has annoyed me most. It's just food, I don't want him associating it with being a "treat" outing.

I could murder Le Big Mac et frites (avec BBQ sauce) now, actually.

Si hablo un poco espanol tambien

at this thread - hilarious!! Talk about a load of judgemental and (sometimes) contradictory opinions

FGS - the little one a McDs with his nanny... he wasn't left alone in the house while she got bladdered in the local pub or snorted a line of coke!! I'm sure CoolBeans will tell nanny not to do it again. Hurrah - problem solved.

I have to say though, Anna8888 your contradictions are amazing/astounding/insane. You slate fast food and are truly xenophobic against the UK's attitude to nutrition, then say you have chocolate for breakfast adding later that you think chocolate is fine in moderation and there is nothing wrong with occasionally using it as a reward. What?

Right - I'm off for a deep-fried mars bar whilst beating my DC with a very large, nail-impaled stick. Not.

Pantofino · 18/12/2008 15:01

Je voudrais un "magic box" avec chicken dips et frites, avec ketchup ET mayonnaise, et del'eau comme boisson, s'il vous plait. Priez nous excuser pendant que ma fille va faire pi-pi dans votre pit de ballons.

MrsMattie · 18/12/2008 15:03

ketchup ET mayonnaise? You greedy vache!

mytetherisending · 18/12/2008 15:03

Oui! Je voudrais aller a MacDonalds! MrsMattie allons ensemble a MacDonalds? Shall we go together to MacDonalds?
Why am I an idiot? At least I try!

mytetherisending · 18/12/2008 15:04

Pant is that why your name has pants in it? Because you pee them?

mytetherisending · 18/12/2008 15:07

Sorry pants just re read your daughter had a pee in the ball pit!

Pantofino · 18/12/2008 15:07

Not me personally! Anyway it is dd that has ketchup and mayonnaise. I prefer aigre-douce myself. With my monster burger and large fanta.

mytetherisending · 18/12/2008 15:09

Shall we talk about the evils of sauces?

Pantofino · 18/12/2008 15:09

Actually I'm only joshing. Dd has never done a pi-pi in McDonalds.

(She did a big poo in Smalland at Ikea once though which was most embarrassing - but obviously that has no fast food relevance)

Pantofino · 18/12/2008 15:14

On no - I have killed this stone dead!

Hey! What about me! I want an Oscar, grammy for my performance of a french person and spanish I'll have you know! Especially for a scummy uneducated lowly childcarer

alors · 18/12/2008 15:19

Well, my dc and I are eating homemade burgers this evening with roquefort sauce and chips cooked in the left over foie gras fat. With a side salad, bien sûr.

And chocolate danone for pudding. And clementines.

Burp.

Pantofino · 18/12/2008 15:21

alors - well I hope the burgers are made from cheval to be truly authentic!

alors · 18/12/2008 15:24

No, vom. My dh is only allowed to cook horse when I am away.

This is boeuf. Moo.

FabioHasBirtdaiTiemForCaik · 18/12/2008 15:24

You're gonna eat an 'orse?

Fk me is no 4 legged beast safe?

alors · 18/12/2008 15:25

No, I am not eating horse. I am eating cow.

But the nounou fed my ds horse last week - liver with chicory gratin. Apparently he loved it.

Pantofino · 18/12/2008 15:27

This is the Continent. They will eat anything. Often in Belgium they deep fry it first then add mayonnaise to taste. Unless you are talking about mince - when they eat it raw, with salad - oh and frites and mayonnaise. That really is vom!

born2twinkle · 18/12/2008 15:29

ffs!

Pantofino · 18/12/2008 15:30

I bet that Big Mac is sounding better already!
