MadB - we can stalk for recipes together if you like. C'mon ladies, pony up with the cake recipes. Quickly. Otherwise I'm going to cook up a slab of bacon, dip it in a bucket of maple syrup and eat it, and MadB is going to scarf her way through four blocks of dark chocolate. Do you really want that on your consciences? :p
yeah! at least make me mix it up with a bit of flour or something first
Well, I've only read the first 4 or so pages but couldn't read any further without posting!
I appreciate everyone's moral high ground and holier than thou attitude but please try to remember that everyone's circumstances are different and as many people have mentioned, this may have been a treat and not an everyday occurrence.
Personally, I believe that most people wouldn't intentionally harm their children and perhaps this is a situational thing or a treat as has been suggested - point is that it's not fair for judge and I certainly don't think we can categorize this as child abuse based on this small portion of info.
If you want to judge it might be better to judge based on what is purchased in a weekly shopping trip.... Look at how many items are purchased where there are numbers in the ingredients, how many convenient snack foods there are etc compared with fresh fruit and vege. If there are significantly more sugary/salty snacks then perhaps you might have a case, but 1 or 2 items does not amount to bad parenting, its called providing treats and enjoyment to our kids as they grow.
From a personal perspective, my son loves his fruit and most vege too.... But he also loves a chicken nugget every now and again. Provided he eats largely healthy food am certainly not going to deprive him of some 'treat' foods. I believe that if you deprive a child of thee foods over a period of time all you do is encourage this behaviour later in life when they are old enough to choose it themselves.
We are the parents, it is our job to educate and teach these children that 'bad' foods are ok but it is important they don't make up the majority of diets etc. Let's stop judging and start supporting each other so that we are each educated enough to help our kids grow and make responsible choices.

Gee I just read the last few pages - much more fun than the first few I read!
Thanks for the laughs ladies!
Oh so completely true that is! My mother did it and yep, we scoffed when we could... my brother in particular and the aftermath wasn't pretty lol. I can't believe all that junk you're talking about wow.... crazy!:
Talking about looking into peoples shopping trolleys... I did that today as I was walking around the shop. And came across a strange mix when I was at the counter, a middle age man - dressed nicely and neat, in his trolley he brought: 12bags of chicken chips the big size. 5 each of beetroot, corn, peas and pineapple, something in paper from the deli. toilet paper - it was such a random trolley...
Love MN ;-)
Least it wasn't a jar of Vaseline and a big cucumber :rofl::
Oh dear, what has become of this thread!:
I know! There's 10 pages yet only 5 or so of them are about the topic. I love it!:
I'd love some chocolate chocolate chocolate cake recipes too. I could feed it to my kids for breakfast.
Bahahaha:
You girls are funny!!! But bacon and maple syrup?? Eww.
I remember once at the pancake parlour I ordered blueberry pancakes and they came out with bacon and maple syrup on top!!! I was devastated! Lol... I haven't tried it buy the thought grosses me out!!!
I'd give the kids maccas and keep the cake for myslef :p:
And whats wrong with that :hide::

^ It's the additives, they keep it bouncing off the walls.
A friend of mine caught a nasty infection from a vegetable once.:
Whats a Canadian breakfast?:
Df would have one of those every day if he could tisk lol:
We don't have junk food very often so it's a treat in our house as well... I don't judge others for what they feed their kids, it's none of my business and if you want to judge me for what I feed my kids then feel free to listen to me tell you to mind your own business. :D
but have to add *drools* for:
fries in cheeseburgers! yum
maple syrup and bacon! yum, we have pancakes with ours, it's usually our Christmas morning brekky, a very special treat.
I just went up to the shops and got a chocolate cake. Wonder if I can eat it all before anyone finds out.

Egg white and sugar, important part of any good diet!
LOL *takes a bow* ... glad to have made so many of you laugh lol I can't even remember what this thread was about anymore? :rofl:
Pmsl, you've been cracking me up!:
It was about that poor innocent baby remember?! Poor little monkey oh, and encouraging gambling young!
I wonder how long we can keep it going??
Egg white is low fat and really high in protein. It's good to see you're making healthy choices. :p:
Lol, no different that cooking an egg white omelet then!
I keep thinking the same thing myself. I see this thread on my subs and think seeeeeeeriously, it's still going?:
Amber-jay, what have you done ?! XD
Don't knock it until you've tried it, it's a match made in heaven.:
Helle, what does XD mean? We were trying to work it out in a thread the other day....
It's a smiley. X is the eyes and D is a big smiley mouth:
XD
You can also get a tongue happening XP
I've been meaning to ask Helle the same thing for ages!:
Oh no, really?! Whoops, sorreh! It's a small part of highschool that followed me I think.:
There is also ^^;, o_O; and O_O; that I'll occasionally bust out too XP
I'm an addict to weird emoticons.
Which thread was it? Was I the culprit or someone else?
XD reminds me of like a japanese cartoon character.. you know how they smile like that lol
It's in general chatter something like 'ever thought abbreviations was something it wasn't" can't link cos I'm on phone.
No culprit, funny thread though!
Kl, you are so right, that's exactly what it looks like! Pmsl
Well I had maccas brekky and lunch today. I looked around but didn't see any 6mt old babies eating it. We did feed an unborn child some cheeseburgers though...Oh the shame!
Man, I'm never going to get mother of the year.. How dare I
