I honestly believe that if they put such mystics around food that it'll damage the child in the long run. Kids want to eat cake at parties. As long as they're not eating cake for every meal what's the problem?

The words ‘obesity epidemic’ have already been mentioned. Also, I don’t think a lot of these food policers realise how much sugar is actually in the fruit and yogurts that they ply their children with.
A tiny bit of cake won’t hurt and I’m sure watching all the other childminded kids eat birthday treats while they get a bowl of berries and water would be far more damaging.
Agree - also not saying you have to go with the crowd on everything / would you jump off a cliff if they were, but surely needlessly othering your child from such a young age is going to have emotional effects later on? :/
Yeah their kids are now going to have a guilt attachment to certain foods instead of a healthy one which is that a bit of cake is no big deal in moderation
I don't think mumsnetters care about that, as long as they're accepted by other mumsnetters it's fine
All Mumsnet kids are the most gloriously behaved with the most nutritional diets, best grades, impeccable manners, only watch French subtitled shows instead of Peppa Pig, can read novels from the age of 2. In other words, they're all full of tit
They are honestly the most joyless people you could ever come across
I think if I were to examine the reasons I am child free I'm pretty sure Mumsnet is one of them- can you imagine having to deal with those ultra competitive Moms? The type that would look down at someone for putting Peppa Pig on for 10 minutes to entertain the kid "Personally I would never do that as screen addiction is endemic in society, when little Johnny is misbehaving, I find that cello lessons help to ground him"

Hold on, hold on, hold on... someone has given a 14 month old raspberries? Otherwise known as PURE SUGAR. No wonder there's an obesity crisis. That child will be too large to walk before it's 2.
They also all earn well over 100k and their husbands the same and have no idea about the real world.
I think a lot of people lie online firstly, but also people adjust the truth upwards to reflect where they think they should sit in other people’s social hierarchies if that makes sense? Like IRL they may deem themselves queen bee of their small village / town / borough, but to assert themselves as that online they have to extend the truth. Hence why there are so many apparent HNWIs on that site giving measley pocket money out.
Also ngl most high paying jobs outside of medicine & law are in tech, not sales or marketing like they all claim lol.
There’s a thread on there at the moment about people you fancy but at ashamed of, and someone has posted that they really fancy a young Adolf Hitler and sometimes fantasise about him when shagging their husband. Somehow I think that poster is trolling them 
Definitely trolling. No one on mn shags their husband.There’s a thread on there at the moment about people you fancy but at ashamed of, and someone has posted that they really fancy a young Adolf Hitler and sometimes fantasise about him when shagging their husband.

I told you all he was a sex god, but none of you believed me!I've read the thread. Lots of people mentioning your man I see
I'm more worried about the people on there that fancy David WalliamsI told you all he was a sex god, but none of you believed me!
and Conor McGregor. Walliams is as creepy as the day is long and McGregor is an abusive thug.
Has the poster with the ‘seriously hot husband’ rocked up yet? She will.
On the food issue, there are the threads where they outdo each other on how little they eat in a day and the ones where they compete over how healthy their children's diets are and how their little darlings don't even like juice. Then there's the ones who try to outdo each other on how much food their kids can put away when they get in from school and how their kids are all very tall and slim built 
I wish they'd make their minds up about whether overeating or undereating is best!
