Hi there,


I am looking for parents to very briefly chat to for article I am writing on the truth about what we feed our children.


After the backlash against Gwyneth Paltrow feeding her kids a low-carb diet, and a survey by the Department of Health showing that mothers are feeding their babies by 100 calories too much per day, I'd like to talk to a selection of parents with kids between 0 and 12 to find out the kind of things they feed their children - the more surprising the better.


Are you quite relaxed about what you feed your children? Or do you take the hard line and only choose certain products? Do you spend a lot of money making sure they only eat the best quality food? Or do your kids have special requirements which means they are on unusual diets?


I'd love to hear from you if you have a strong opinion or if you have an unusual/super healthy/very relaxed approach to feeding your children.


If you're interested, please get in touch on [email protected].

Thanks very much,

Emily

Appreciate you are simply reporting this EmilyCP, not pushing it, but how on earth does the department of health get to us feeding our babies by 100 calories per day "too much ".


Love to see whatever passes for maths behind that statement.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
