Should you let your kid have green beans for breakfast?

Ava really really really wanted a can of green beans for breakfast. I tried to explain that beans aren't a breakfast food, but she wouldn't have it. I gave them a bowl of beans with some french toast. I didn't let Lola have the box of brownie mix she wanted for breakfast though.

Perfect example of the whole "pick your battles" concept. Well played. :)

I think you created appropriate parenting boundaries. Green beans for breakfast: okay. Brownie mix for breakfast: not okay.

Although, I admit that sometimes I eat ice cream for breakfast myself...

Haha! At least it was healthy. This morning the kids had a piece of left over oreo birthday cake! oops...I guess I didn't get the memo about kids becoming obese at an early age. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
