What's the craziest thing you've let your kids eat at breakfast?  

I can't think of anything too weird, I have let my little boy eat popcorn a few times =) And my daughter...she wanted Ramen noodles once, so I fixed them up for her. There are certainly some days where I don't want to fight so I let them eat whatever they want. And with my son not eating much any time of day, when he wants something I give it to him, unless it is candy all day long =)

I always cook my children breakfast or give them cereal, but growing up my Mother was a single parent and always very busy working that often times she feed me pizza, chocolate cake or bologna sandwiches, I used to think I had the coolest Mom. I know now that she was so busy with her life that she did not have time to cook for me so this is all she could do.

LOL I dont think the kids have had anything necessarily 'crazy' butI do remember my gf coming over to visit us in Canada and she decided to make all the kids pancakes covered in ice cream and sprinkles LOL....My brother let them have ice cream bars and pop once for breakfast too..man I was PISSED about that one considering I dont give my kids pop!

Advanced HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, SOCCERMOM!!! Boy! you are a glutton for punishment-- ten 11-year-olds???!!! Brave woman.... Anyway. My kids are cereal eaters. When they were small, as long as we had Trix, Count Chocula (do they still have those?) or Froot Loops, life was good. On weekends, (until now they still live at home) I prepare pancakes, with eggs and bacon. The girl likes her fried egg deader than dead and the boy will eat anything. I remember though when he was two he went on a French toast jag. For around a month--solid--he wanted French toast. I was sick of the stuff I couldn't stand French toast for about a year after! LOL!!! Have a riproaring birthday, you deserve it! HUGS! {{{{*}}}}

This morning my girls were asking for jello pudding snacks. Sure, why not--it's full of calcium, right? Usually, they go for cereal, or waffles. The cereal is unsweetened. When we went on vacation, though, I purchased a box of capn crunch crunch berry cereal. I don't think anyone can eat it... it's so incredibly sweet!

Oh, they have been known to pull out a bag of baby carrots from the fridge and eat until their bellies are full (or the carrots gone!) :)

lol- popcorn- My daughter has never asked for that- Usually she eats whatever she wants- which is bacon and eggs, French toast, cereal, cocoa and toast, bagels. We have on several occasions had cold pizza- that is one of my favorite breakfasts- She almost always has fruit too. I agree as long as she has something to eat- and I usually make sure it is healthy!

well so far the craziest food my kids had for breakfast is last nights pizza.

Our eight year old can't stand any kind of breakfast food. We have tried cereal, eggs, pancakes, waffles. You name it we have tried it. So we just keep whatever her favorite foods on hand. She eats macaroni and cheese, hot dogs, can pasta. Her favorite thing to eat for breakfast is a beef and bean burrito.

Leftover cold pizza was a big breakfast favorite in my house. I knew if wasn't very good as far as breakfast goes but it was something they could eat and run as they were always running late.

Neither one of my kids are very big breakfast eaters, unless someone goes out and buys them breakfast which doesn't happen on a regular basis. I do keep the usual breakfast items, but that rarely temps them. They tend to want sweet things first thing so I have caught them eating cookies, cake and even cold pizza. Frankly, I feel the same way you do. I think breakfast is important because it gets you going in the morning so whatever works for them, works for me.
