Well my "style" seems to be rare... or those of you like me are too shy to say it?

In the past few weeks I have posted on topics such as food, Mc Donald and TV....
Now Am I the only one who always cooks from fresh for her kids (because they enjoy the quality of the food and I like cooking), does not go to McD (they wouldn't like it as there is no way I am buying the "gift") and who thinks they have a far better time playing then watching tele.

I was quite surprised to read that several people (and I am sure thousands more) feel it's a treat to feed your kids occasional junk food... what has our society come to??? For those who have the desire, time and interest to not feed junk, allow much/any tele... is it normal that we are considered the odd ones out, the weird ones? It use to be like this (generations ago), it was the norm... now we're called all sorts of things but made to feel that we are too puritanical.

I am sure some of you are going to take this as a controversial thread, it isn't meant like that I want to know if anyone feels like this too.... I feel very lonely on Mumsnet with my more "puritanic" stance

We have just eaten a Mcdonalds - still drinking the coffee

Saturday is usually my baking/cooking day but we have had an ALL day power cut Angry

So hard working DH and dd came to the allotment with me and we worked our butts off as there was no electricity at home for homework or marking.

Yes, it was a well deserved 'treat' - and it's fine as part of a balanced diet.

Frankly, getting a 14 year old to help on an allotment when she'd rather be watching a film or listening to music is deserving of a treat.

The time slip explains why I recognised more than one name Grin
