[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My EU DH eats bread with every meal (yes, even with tacos, Chinese food, etc.) Our kids eat bread and chocolate, or bread and nutella, as a snack after school while watching cartoons in their native language. Whatever they don't use up becomes toast the next morning.

Yes, it's tricky buying fresh bread every day in the US but we have a standing order at the local bakery and we've got a system down for buying bread every day. And, in a pinch, Whole Foods has good enough bakery bread.[/quote]

I love European snobbery.  Americans get accused of not eating baguettes perfectly according to French culture, but if your husband is EU he can insist on bread with his Chinese food and it’s quaint.

Similarly, if I admitted to giving my kids white bread with sugar on it every day while they watched SpongeBob I would get raked over the coals, but somehow if you add “in their native language” it is such a brag you can insert it into a post that isn’t even about TV.  [/quote]

I was just thinking her DH sounds really fat and her kids sound really lazy (cue the PP saying no he’s a model and they are Olympians)[/quote]
