The Modern Parents
Malcolm and Cressida Wright-Pratt are parents whose obsession with ethical and environmental awareness often works against their basic role as parents to Tarquin and Guinevere. The Modern Parents do not believe in childhood activities such as fairgrounds, fast food restaurants, games, competitions and sports, toys, normal holidays or mainstream school and impose their moral positions on their children and the children of others. They take the moral high-ground because of their ideologies and expect everyone to appreciate their actions.
Malcolm and Cressida were not originally married as they believed it to be an outmoded and sexist institution that enslaved women. However, they did eventually marry in order to get their wedding gifts.
Cressida delights in pointing out that, as a woman, she is an oppressed minority while Malcolm frequently claims he has "Sensitive Persons Syndrome". A committed environmentalist, he insists he supports public transport, but cannot use it himself because his Syndrome prevents him from getting on a bus or train and his Volvo "is Scandinavian, so it must be eco-friendly". The pair often identify themselves with ethnic minorities, claiming to have some Celtic heritage or that they were Native Americans in a previous life.

You can just buy the toys and no food. I may or may not have done this. whoami said:
Absolutely.
That really was dietary advice for the hard of thinking.
Morgan spurlock was the guys name. His doctor basically told him he was rotting his liver worse than an alcoholic.That really was dietary advice for the hard of thinking.
But in the same program they did show a guy who ate nothing but 3 Big Macs for dinner every evening and was perfectly well. People are just different, though he wasn't eating it for breakfast and lunch as well like the documentary man.

You don't.
Doesn't matter how he eats the rest of the time, if eating a decent meal with you is better for him because he can add some, let him.
I hate the bloody stuff, my boy loves it. I let him have some.

Can't agree more. Mint sauce is my thing. With chicken, pork, faggots, veg. In fact, just last night I tried hot chunky chips with Mayo and Mint. Fookin superb!You don't.

Re the ketchup. I used to think I would be like that but I have used it on occasion to encourage my boy to eat his food. I'm lucky that he's generally very good but if I think a bit of harmless ketchup would be the difference between my boy eating a healthy meal or not touching it, I'd go with the ketchup

My lord, I found a kindred spirit! I'm not the only weirdo then. I love mint sauce on anything yet I don't like lamb! Chicken, beef, spuds, veg, I slather that minty goodness around.My ex is a (Heinz - has to be Heinz) tomato ketchup addict. Puts it on everything. Everything.
Sunday roast? Ketchup.
Fancy meal cooked by her professional chef ex brother-in-law? Ketchup.
Chicken bhuna off of the Indian takeaway? Ketchup.
I often considered smothering my cock in Heinz tomato ketchup to see if she would attack that with the same gusto, but the biggest bottle they do is only 1.35kg.

Trying to give your child decent nutritional meals, you fool!t most of the time, at least he gets a proper family meal once a week. And starts to learn table manners.Have you ever tried making your own tomato sauce? At least you can control the amount of crap in it, and know it won't be like sprinkling sugar all over your food?

hing when someone is actually doing some 'parenting'.Eat properly and make sure your kids grow up understanding the difference between good food and bad. All the NHS needs is another generation of over weight chubbers with heart problems.
I found a cook book titled 'meals in under 20min' and it is fantastic. Just takes a bit of effort

Letting him put ketchup on some meat doesn't sound like "bad parenting". Equally forbidding him from putting ketchup on anything isn't "good parenting".hing when someone is actually doing some 'parenting'.As others have said, everything in proportion. And ketchup is better than most food dressings.

Personally I think that poster came across as being less concerned about any nutritional problems caused by a bit of ketchup on the childs dinner, and more motivated by some kind of weird "I've spent hours cooking this and you want to put ketchup on it". hing when someone is actually doing some 'parenting'.Each to their own but that's just how it came across to me and it seems a little strange IMO.
