Breakfast question?
| Fri, 02-23-2007 - 8:00am |
I was wondering what, if anything, that you cook your kids for breakfast. I am not much of a breakfast eater and neither are the girls. They usually have cereal, waffles, instant oatmeal or something frozen like cinnamon toast or french toast sticks. They also love maltomeal which is the only thing that I cook them. Dalia will often have a yogurt and a piece of fruit. One the weekends, I sometimes make pancakes or french toast. My dh has eggs almost every single day or regular oatmeal on the days that he doesn't have eggs. He gets upset because I don't get up and make the girls a "real breakfast". I say that they are old enough to get their own breakfast most days. I remember having cereal every single day when I was a kid so I don't see what the big deal is.

We aren't big breakfast eaters here either!

I don't cook breakfast for my girls during the week either. I keep cereal, microwaveable biscuits and bacon, frozen waffles, granola bars, etc. If time permits sometimes their Dad drives them through McDonald's before school. They also serve breakfast at school. On weekends I will cook pancakes, biscuits & gravy, eggs, grilled cheese, whatever one of them asks for if we don't have plans to be out of the house too early. If we are out too early then it's something out for us.

I wouldn't say that I cook breakfast, I don't have the time to do any major preparation or cleanup before work, and Kayleigh leaves the house at 7:25.

I think my kids would skip breakfast if I let them but I feel they NEED it, expecially since their most important classes are in the first half of the day. Breakfast is the only meal I really let them eat stuff I otherwise wouldn't buy, but I make concessions just to get them to eat something! Both are involved in after school sports and other activities so they have looong days. I buy big boxes of hot pockets, biscuit and sausage sandwiches, and cases of slimfast. The slimfast was dad's idea because he's big into working out and he wanted the extra protein boost in the morning. So they drink that instead of milk or juice WITH their breakfast. Best part is all of this is portable so if they're running late they can 'nuke and run'. I also save the big breakfasts for the weekend!
