I've been watching the programme 'Jon and Kate plus 8' - (basically set in US about a couple who have 6 year old twins and 3 year old sextruplets) and at meal times Kate always uses paper plates for the childrens snacks and meals.
At first I thought 'I'd never do that' ' how lazy/common is that?' and 'what a waste!' but the more I've thought about it, the more I feel it would make sense for our family.
We seem to use mountains of plates - 5 DC's of my own and I'm a childminder so sometimes 7 children at breakfast and 10 or 11 at teatime, X two courses = loads of plates and a dishwasher that never stops.
Would you consider paper plates or is the idea off putting?
