Skittles and Orange Hi-C

[meganlavonnesmommy]

That was the breakfast my 2 year old DCB showed up with at 6am this morning.
I took it away as soon as Mom left, but it's no wonder he didnt eat the pumpkin bread and scrambled eggs I made.

Candy Breakfast

The "no cry" way to start your day.

It's fast.

it's easy.

And the kids love it.

[Meyou]

Wow. I can't even imagine......

[wahmof3]

must be the trend

dck came in crying today bc dcm wouldnt give him anymore candy...... wth????

I had one come screaming because she wanted to stay with mommy. DCM kept saying that she JUST woke up and was still sleeping in the car, but the girl had a gross juice thing in her hand that was half drank. It was dumped right away. These girls also came in their pajamas at 7:30, overnight diaper still on and hair absolutely crazy.

It doesn't do any good to remind these parents of my policies. They'll be good for a week and then back to their ways.

Mine at least have the courtesy of hiding the evidence... (minus two blue tongues this morning)

Retraining day is in full effect. ::

Seriously, this amazes me that ANY parent would be so dumb to feed their kid that.

I know how that feels. My dcg always have candy everyday for her breakfast but I took it away. She always screamed so loud and I let her screamed whatever she wants. She gave up within one mins.

What....you haven't heard......Skittles and Hi C The breakfast of Champions!!!:: So is Mt. Dew and a Milky Way!!!::


Just kidding! I know its pretty sad when kids come in with crap and we strive so hard to give them nutritious breakfasts...because a banana is just to hard to peel!!

Yesterday morning I was getting out of my car at Target when I looked over at the car next to me, the Mom was waiting for her, looked to be 8yo daughter to finish her drink. The girl was chugging a large Rock Star Energy Drink!

I would have said something in front of mom... "This is a really unhealthy breakfast, buddy, we're going to hand it back to mom and fix you up something nutritious to start your day off right!" And hand the CRAP back to her. I don't tell my parents how to care for their kids, but I most definitely make it known how *I* care for their kids.

I had a DCB show up with a Twizzlers last week. DCD admittedly told me that he wasn't going to fight with him so he could have it after breakfast.

Funny how a parent can't pry it from their hands but all's I have to do is ask. I got the licorice, took it to the kitchen and tossed it in the trash. He only asked for it once and I told him "No."

Now how simple was that?!

Hey, what's wrong with Twizzler's? I had one with my breakfast this morning.

One of my 8 yos comes in with donuts and chocolate milk once a week. I only have him for 30 mins before school, so I don't worry about it. The other kids don't even ask about it.

My 3 yo often has yogurt, hard boiled egg, or a bagel w/ cream cheese in his hand. Sadly, sister gets fed in the car and he gets what she gets.

my dd decided nothing was good in the house so she had a granola bar for breakfast, I'm not too worried, because when she sees her healthy lunch she is going to eat it all because she is so hungry (it balances it self out) but she's also 11.

but I just don't understand how hard it is to make something for breakfast for kids, don't kids sit at kitchen tables anymore to eat, could this be the reason why parents feed their children crappy foods too. No one is taught to sit and eat anymore.

What's wrong with Twizzlers??? Do you provide daycare for multiple children??? That's the problem. That, and it's a violation of my policy. No food or drink may be brought into the daycare.
