Sit down. I am going to vent. This is what Colm has had to eat in the past 24 hours…
Dinner last night-We went to Chik-fil-a and all he ate was french fries.
Breakfast-Yogurt and some juice
Lunch-We went to On the Border and he ate french fries and some chips and salsa.
Dinner-I warmed up the leftovers from lunch and still all he ate was french fries. He also had a HUGE cookie that they give you for free at the grocery store about 30 minutes before dinner that I DID NOT give to him.
That’s it! I have had it!!! We try to make sure our kids have the best of everything and yet they are eating CRAP! Why did I breastfeed? Why did we buy jars and jars of organic baby food and then turn around and let them eat garbage? They only eat what we give them and I am tired of it. We are going to have a serious diet makeover for the littlest members of our household and I mean soon!!! I am not going to expect them to eat sprouts every night, but there are not going to be any trips to McDonald’s anytime soon and there will definitely not be any french fries anytime in the near future.
I don’t mind giving my kids treats…as a matter of fact, I love giving them treats, but treats aren’t treats when they eat them all the time. I love that we can go downstairs after Mass and have donuts and socialize; I think that’s great. I just don’t like feeding them junk like that all the time.
We did an experiment when I was in 5th grade. We had two rats. One we fed fruits and veggies, the other we fed donuts. The donut rat almost died until we started giving him the fruits and veggies again. I know what kind of rat I want my kids to be. 🙂
