Picked the DDSs up from their mums around lunch time today - the youngest (12 year old) walked out of his mums house (they see her one evening/ night a week- long story) with 2 cans of coke in his hand (1 of which he was drinking) and climbed in the car. During general chit chat I asked what he'd had for his breakfast- he said I wasn't hungry- so I said you've had coke for your breakfast? He said no it's just a drink.. I asked him what they'd had for tea yesterday- they'd had Macdonald's..
We got in and I asked him if he wanted poached eggs and soldiers... yes please he said..
I really do my utmost best to give them good food and she lets them all the shite they want ... I've already asked her not to give the youngest fizzy drinks because he's been through a dirty phase and found every trick in the book not to shower or clean his teeth. He has now got to have a couple of fillings which she knows about. Just so annoyed about it. It's an easy option to give them whatever they want. But it's not the right way to do it. Views?
I can't talk to her about it. Not sure she is completely with it tbh (don't mean to be cruel here )
