amo_mea_filiis. Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I can't stand when people make assumptions of any kind about my son. Today he had some GF homemade pancakes with real maple syrup, a banana, chicken with brown rice, and 2 bottles of water. I decided to treat the kids to McDonald's for dinner. Ds was quite hyper, but I said I'd take them so I didn't want to back out. The woman at the counter tells me that ds should lay off the sugar for a while. I couldn't stand in McDonald's and claim that the kids only eat whole, nutritious foods, but I'm not going to give her a medical lesson either. The reason ds is currently hyper is due to his asthma. So why does everyone jump to sugar?! I'm sure there are plenty of hyper kids who eat a healthy diet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Sounds like it is time for another game of MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS And the McDonalds cashier gets to go first! :D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amo_mea_filiis. Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 I was thinking of sweetly suggesting (like she did to ds) that she lay off the burgers for a while, but telling her to mind her own business would be nicer!

Snickerdoodle Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Well, the cashier was rude beyond belief. Her comment was completely out of line. However, Today he had some GF homemade pancakes with real maple syrup, a banana, chicken with brown rice, and 2 bottles of water. all of the items in blue *are* carbohydrates.

amo_mea_filiis. Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 Oh I know, but they're not what type of sugar I assume she was talking about. I can't believe I left out his veggies! LOL. He also had some broccoli and cucumbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanchGirl Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Is it possible she was just making a (very weak) joke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
