To be annoyed with childminder for giving DS ready made pasta?

The freshly stuffed type you buy from M&S? We had an agreement that all meals would be freshly cooked. I take ages making each meal for him from scratch and have never given him pre-prepared or convenience food and bit annoyed she has.

YABU. Next!

GEt over yourself

naturalblonde · 15/05/2009 23:09

YABU.

fishie · 15/05/2009 23:09

oh yes she should have spent all night making fresh pasta with free range eggs and italian 00 flour.

cece · 15/05/2009 23:10

Is this a joke?

KatyMac · 15/05/2009 23:10

What nothing prepared?

What about beans or sausages?

why? Part of our agreement was freshly cooked food not pre-prepared crap.

Don't be ridiculous.

emkana · 15/05/2009 23:10

How would you feel if she had given him dried pasta?

Or do you make all pasta from scratch?

lilolilmanchester · 15/05/2009 23:10

am assuming this is a piss-take?

FlorenceDaphne · 15/05/2009 23:10

A little bit unreasonable, I'm afraid. It's hardly Findus Crispy Pancakes (Disclaimer: I love them). And it's M and S, darling; how bad can it be?

KingCanuteIAm · 15/05/2009 23:10

Yes. If you want your CM to be making fresh pasta by hand rather than looking after her mindees then YABVU!

It was M&S fresh pasta not spaghetti hoops from a tin!

Shitemum · 15/05/2009 23:11

I think you should go one step further, buy a pasta machine and insist she makes the pasta by hand herself, using organic ingredients. And it should be boiled in dew collected by tibetan monks.

CarGirl · 15/05/2009 23:11

Has to be

Freshly prepared means not yesterdays reheated!

What about them? He's never had baked beans, if that's what you mean, and I woudldn't dream of giving him sausages.

FGS - if you are that precious get a nanny. There are much worse things to stress about than this - you have obviously had a very easy life so far. Lucky you.

MillyR · 15/05/2009 23:11

I hope you harvested and threshed the wheat yourself. God forbid that you should use pre-prepared flour when making pasta

Lubyloo · 15/05/2009 23:11

This is a wind up right?

katiestar · 15/05/2009 23:11

YABU

Shitemum · 15/05/2009 23:12

oops I was too slow...

fryalot · 15/05/2009 23:12

Actually, I think YABU. Does she have a strict list of foods she is allowed to feed him?

Do you actually expect her to roll her own pasta and stuff the ravioli herself?

It's not like it was a tin of ravioli or meatballs or something

How old is he and are there any allergy concerns?

KatyMac · 15/05/2009 23:12

OK we live in different worlds

llareggub · 15/05/2009 23:12

Very funny. This is a joke, right?

KingCanuteIAm · 15/05/2009 23:12

I think you need to define freshly cooked, I would call M&S stuffed fresh pasta freshly cooked and fish fingers and oven chips or microwave lasgne pre-prepared crap.

fishie · 15/05/2009 23:12

you can make very suitable baked beans with cannelini and tomatoes. much easier than stuffing tortelloni.
