A mum has left other parents seriously baffled after she complained to her husband for serving their kids cereal for breakfast.
In a bizarre rant, she compared Rice Crispies to 'puffs of air' and insists that cereal shouldn't be an everyday breakfast for children.
When her husband sorts breakfast for their kids, he often gives the kids just a bowl of Rice Crispies and some fruit - but the mum feels this is inadequate.
She feels very strongly about filling their tummies properly so thinks something with more nutritional value would be better for them before school or the child minder.
But after confronting her husband about it he grew angry and said she was undermining him.
In her Mumsnet post, the woman sought advice from other parents about whether this breakfast was enough.
The unnamed mum wrote: "My husband would happily send children (three and six) off to school/childminder on one bowl of rice crispies and a bit of fruit in the morning.
"I feel very strongly about filling kids tummies properly before school, and while I have no problem with a bowl of Rice Crispies now and then, that they are ultimately just puffs of air, and the children need something more nutritionally dense.
"We argued about it properly this morning, and now he's in a huff about me undermining him. I just want to gauge what others think - is a bowl of Rice Crispies and a bit of fruit enough to keep a child's energy levels up all morning."
In response, many disagreed with the mum and said that the bowl of cereal was probably fine, especially as the kids would most likely have a mid morning snack as well.
One person bluntly wrote: "Yes. It's a cereal. It's fine."
While another stated: "Yep, fine. Sometimes kids want something more substantial, sometimes they want cereal. Presumably, they also have a mid morning snack and then lunch."
A third penned: "It's fine. In our house it's Weetabix + bran flakes, and an Actimel. No hope of protein in the am. I'd rather they fill their tummies with carbs rather than reject and argue about other foods!"
