(not sure where i could put this as it asking everyone not a certain age group)


I was just wondering if people let there lo's take food of theyre plate or are u against it?? xx

for example sometimes at dinner we eat later then callum cant eat too early but say if i have chicken fingers or something he sometimes helps himself to one would u take it away or let them have it?
Again at lunch today me & callum had toast together i had mine in big triangles i cut his into lil sqaures would he eat them noo so i lent over him to put them bk and he took my toast frm my hand and started eating it xx

I do, can't see anything wrong with it, its not like she is a dog or anything lol!

im just asking because hv has told me off for doing it x i cant see whats the harm xx

Did you ask the HV why it was wrong?
They have a habit of telling people not to do things but don't have a reason like I know an HV told someone they weren't allowed to mix breast milk in the same bottle as formula

we let gracie eat of our plates my HV said its a curiosity thing to see if they are having anything different to mum and dad sometimes when i finish i have to tip hers on to my plate because she wants a big plate and my fork which is also fine with me i dont see any problem with it as long as she is out of it by the time she starts school as i dont want her stealing her friends food lol x

she said its a bad habit he should be eating his own food which he does anyway.
the hvs around my way are crap to put it nicely x

The only problem I can see is if it carries on as he gets bigger and then pinches food off plates he shouldn't! I have no problem with my boys doing it, now they are bigger they have to ask not just take, but when they were smaller I always made sure they or I said thank you etc! Food always tastes better when your a kid and it's not off your plate!

health visitors can be numpties sometimes. caelyn has to say please if she wants something off my plate but i dont mind sharing with her. on the odd occasion i say no i stick to my guns and dont give in so i dont see the harm on the days i say yes. Shes only allowed to do it with family she gets removed if she asks for other people;s food, shes learnig now mostly that if it looks the same it probably is and im learning if i eat summat different shes gonna ask for some. give and take lol

I dont really have a choice in the matter! Shes so quick She runs up steals a potatoe or something and runs into 'her' corner!

lol sorry terri but that just made me laugh so much gracie done that with a sprout off her auntys plate funnily enough she wont steal off anyonelses plate apart from mine and marcs now and she promply returned with the sprout and a very funny face

That made me lol! Xx

if i eat later than evan i give him a bit of mine or if im havin a sandwich i give him a bite we usually have the same tea but there is 3 nights a week i eat later cos i go to an exercise class so dont eat before i go and evan gets some but we usually have the same anyway!
unless i cant be bothered cookin, like tonight and im jst chuckin scampi in the oven for me and oh (tonight is one of the nights we eat later cos oh is at footy) but i have meals ive cooked and frozen so that evan still gets plenty veg
although if we were eating at same time he wud have gotten scampi aswell
but back to point yeah i dont mind sharing
he doesnt usually jst take things off of my plate he tries but i move the plate but i give him some off my fork

i've never let the kids take from my plate...lewis has tried a couple of times though! lol...i will let him try what i'm eating though and will just pass them some

sam tells me off though because now whenever the kids see one of us with food lewis whinges for it and lily-ann instantly has her mouth wide open waiting for something to be put in! lol

I eat lunch at the same time as Aimee, but we tend to eat dinner after she is in bed, mainly because I am not hungry until later and also we can talk and eat rather than running around after her.

If we do eat and she is here, then yeah, we let her nick our food, lol!

Tell the health visitor to bog off its none of her business. Dont really have a choice with Sam he just takes it. Obviously the older kids dont do it xxx
