To be angry that DP fed the DC pizza for breakfast?

This morning. We'd run out of milk and bread (my fault, didn't get round to shopping yesterday) so he put a pizza in the oven for them instead.
He sees nothing terribly wrong with it ("it's just bread and tomato and cheese" says he) but my point it it's essentially junk food, laden with salt and fat. Not what a child needs to keep them going through a morning at school.
And we did have bread rolls in the freezer, which can be defrosted in a couple of minutes, and eggs in the fridge.
AIBU or is he?

Well that's not what I meant Flamingobingo. I don't think anyone here is a loon, I was just annoyed when it was suggested that I was.

pmsl This really is a thread about nothing at all....

browntrout · 14/10/2009 18:46

oh Lyra you poor thing - I am sure you didnt expect quite this level of response. My child's father would do something like this and my DD would be delighted and think it was terribly exciting and the next time I tried to get her to have fruit or cereal she would ask for pizza and it would annoy me too. I would also worry (entirely unreasonably) that people might hear about it at school and think I was Waynetta Slob or something ... however, he did give them breakfast albeit an unconventional one and used his initiative quite well I suppose. So long as they had something then they will be fine and it doesnt really matter what food did the job on this one occasion. Now, try this thread again and say it was a fruit shoot and sausage roll and see if people rally to your defence and call him an arse. For what it's worth I don't think you are a loon but you might be very slightly unreasonable.

Well, Lyra, I think you have to take some blame for running out of bread and milk, and with that state of affairs, leaving your husband in charge of breakfast.

scottishmummy · 14/10/2009 18:49

look i said you all are,each and every one. lets not do the loon thing to death, it diverts from the minging manky things folk eat for brekfast

Jamieandhismagictorch · 14/10/2009 18:50

I am very often running out of bread and/or milk. I am a useless excuse for a housewife

TheHeadlessWombat · 14/10/2009 18:51

Breakfast is overrated anyway. I can't eat that early in the morning.

Bet you regret starting this thread eh?

LyraSilvertongue · 14/10/2009 18:53

Thank you browntrout.
I did start this thread asking who was being unreasonable here, me or him. I didn't expect a kicking, just opinions.
So IABU. Fine.

ach now no now on AIBU just gives opinions.

LyraSilvertongue · 14/10/2009 18:55

So what do y'all think of DP giving them sweets before breakfast? Is that acceptable too because they're in the house? (they're supposed to be occasional treats, not pre-breakfast snacks).

YANBU,OP. sORRY, HAVE ONLY READ op BUT i WOULD BE PISSED OFF TOO.

Scottishmummy, I should know better than to start an AIBU thread

There you go, on the 114th thread someone agreed with you!

Jamieandhismagictorch · 14/10/2009 18:57

No, I'm with you on sweets. I'd hesitate to post on AIBU about it though, because

a) I am a wuss

and

b) Someone would come up with some perfectly reasoned argument about how sweets are basically covering all your food groups

LolaAnn · 14/10/2009 18:57

YABU. Seriously I would have laughed at his creativity if it was just a once off.

scottishmummy · 14/10/2009 18:58

Lyra, YANBU
I don't get the responses on this thread. Would they really send their children to school on a pizza when they could have had egg and soldiers?
Pizza always contains lots of salt and is not a good start to the day

unfitmother · 14/10/2009 18:59

That wasn't a kicking - just a gentle mauling, I've had far worse!
Someone referred to my autistic DS as 'tory boy'. I'm such a leftie I cried and left MN for months!

TheHeadlessWombat · 14/10/2009 18:59

Bread can contain quite a bit of salt too.
