It was fine. If she had an issue, she should mot have sent him or talked to you before

i think dounuts are fine but probs better after a good healthy breakfast 1st

I can understand why you gave them a doughnut each but maybe you should have also given them cereal first? As it’s a one off for a special occasion I don’t see what the real issue was. You tried explaining to her but she just didn’t want to listen so it’s her issue not yours. Maybe next time save that for either the night before or around 10 in the morning.

It was a special occasion but perhaps better served for morning tea, not breakfast.

Wow, that’s really an extreme reaction. I wouldn’t serve donuts for breakfast, but I understand you thinking it was a special occasion. And it was a one-off. Eating donuts everyday for breakfast would certainly be an issue, but that’s not the case here. We’re just so quick to react and block rather than to have a normal conversation.

It’s an extreme reaction, but doughnuts for breakfast? That’s not just an unhealthy choice, but an odd one too.

Wow, it’s not like she got 6 donuts for each boy! It was just 1 donut per boy and one for her! Good on her for making good memories for the boys

A massive over-reaction that probably damaged the children’s relationship with each other more than it damaged their life-long health. Whilst it is commendable that the emotional mother had a health focus, one small snack in a party situation is hardly grounds for starting a drama that would be very hard to recover from.

Some of the cereals have more sugar than a doughnut, pastries are given for breakfast so there is nothing wrong with what this mum did. I feel sorry for the kid as the mum seems a bit OTP.

  I agree not much difference, many cereals are a sugar staple and highly processed and score just as low health wise

Abit of overreacting on her part especially then blocking her. It is not something I would give my kids for breakfast and they would have said no to the Mum offering at the time. They would have been explained that it is not something they are allowed to eat at breakfast.

Wow! Thats a proper over reaction. Wonder what is really going on with that mum to make her blow up over such a non event? Sorry she made you feel like you did something wrong, it’s about her, not you.

It was a sleep over for heaven’s sake. Quite often there is no breakfast after a sleep over. I am so glad I never had the digital police around when my children were growing up. Fun was fun and what happened at a sleep over, stayed at the sleep over. Sorry – but I don’t think you were in the wrong, but that other parent sure was. I wonder how many children will turn up at his sleep over should he be allowed to have one after this fiasco.

Such an important overreaction! It was a sleepover it’s supposed to be fun and I would expect my kids to be eating a bunch of junk. You always try and make a sleepover extra fun for the kids and they understand when something is a special treat especially at that age . I’d love doughnut for breakfast, might do it this weekend with my kids they will love it

What an awful nasty mum to send such a message and then block! A sleepover is a fun event for kids, a special breakfast sounds like a great experience for the kids and surely lots of memories were made.

A massive over reaction and rudeness on behalf of the other mum. At least let her explain! Children are only children for a short time and special occasions make memories!
