AIBU?

AIBU to have given the DC leftover Domino Pizza for breakfast?

It was in the fridge from last night. 3 slices. DH was going out early so had already had his breakfast. It is the holidays. It felt like a bit of fun, you know "Hey DCs, fancy pizza for breakfast."

DH (albeit kind of jokingly) said it was a disgrace and with a head-shaking grin went out.

DCs enjoyed minuscule slice of cold pizza, then some toast.

They normally get a pretty good, well balances, mainly cooked from scratch diet.

Later on DH said he wasn't totally joking and please could we not do that again. He feels it sends the wrong message to DCs (age 4 and 6) to have leftover "treat" food like that for breakfast.

He is not normally so...er...uptight (normally is me)....so now wondering if he is just having a moment. Or was IBU to give them pizza for breakfast?

Surely pizza breakfast is the best part of a takeaway pizza?!

YANBU...we did the same thing this morning. Dominos is awesome for breakfast...it's not like you're doing it every day, and it's a holiday weekend Smile

I've been known to sneak stone cold Chinese out of the fridge for breakfast followed by prawn crackers, so IMHO, no!

Yanbu, if it was hot pizza then I would agree with your DH

YABU. It doesn't take much effort to throw cereal in the bowl. That would have left you with 2 much better options: (1) you eat the pizza, or (2) they get the pizza for lunch - saving you the effort of preparing a more major meal. HTH!

What difference does it make if it's breakfast or lunch?

YANBU Pizza cold is practically a breakfast food.

YANBU. You've taught them a valuable life lesson: always buy too much pizza so that you can eat some of it for breakfast the next day.

(although I don't for one minute believe it was a 'minuscule' piece. Dominoes slices are mahooosive)

YANBU.

Habits like this, learnt early on are very valuable for later in life.

  1. Hangover food.
  2. University life.
  3. The life of a struggling artist.
  4. Pregnancy cravings.
  5. Feeding children when you CBA.

Disgusting.

You should have given them a proper breakfast, like a bacon sandwich with tomato sauce. And cheese.

Hang on.

You'd get Mum of the year round our house.
I did draw the line at DD2(5) having Easter Haribo at 6:30 this morning, tried to persuade me that as she'd had cereal and yoghurt already it was fine. Gave her short shrift at that time of the morning. If she'd stayed in bed till 8 and then tried that line on me it might have worked Grin

I would maybe eat it myself if there were no kids around but I wouldn't feed it to kids. I'd rather give them a more nutritional option.

tbh if I could have managed a way of scoffing it all myself I would have done...but it would have felt a bit mean with them having nutritious [buconfused] cheerios whilst I had pizza....

Couldn't have used it for lunch/tea - had stuff planned/defrosted which would have been wasted and was also not enough for all of us (DH was only out for an hour so 3 slices of pizza would not have stretched)...so def a fine lesson in not wasting food.

We have had left over prawn crackers on occasion but had never thought to save the chinese...(not that there is often much any left). Have not done the cold curry for breakfast since Uni days.....
