McDonald’s

We’ve just bought him his first box focus and he loved it, ufc got a breast kill ago for dad though!\ 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄😂

My son has had mcds a few times

We have a McDonald's nearly every week! Although happy meals are too small for him now so he has an adult sized one 😂

My son has had them a few times, I wouldn't worry about the salt content for a one off treat.

As a one off, I would

I'm coeliac so never go to mcds or anywhere but he's been with my husband once or twice. If you're really concerned then you could feed him first so that he only has a nibble while he's there but that way he doesn't miss out on that bit of the party? Or you just say to the mum that you'd love to come to the first bit but then unfortunately won't make it to mcds afterwards? You don't really need a reason, trying to organise children's parties is stressful and the mum will be busy, just be considerate and turn up to the bits you've said you'll attend 😊

Not gonna tell you what to do hun, mo1 should judge, just provide you with info for you to make the choice Granted it’s not like wen we were kids but they have improved ❤️You can choose not to have salt on things, complain if their fries come with salt on they shouldn’t be in happy meals 💛there’s fruit n veg options instead of fries 🍟 🩷the worst drink is the fruit shoot as we no it like adult coke with sugar content 3 other options instead There’s no reason they couldn’t - just a choose the healthier options or it’s a one off occasion I take my daughter once in a while gets it’s as a treat - reward like getting 50 stars 🌟/stickers She now likes the chicken burgers so we swop

I think in these situations it’s about weighing up the pro’s and con’s. One salty meal but he doesn’t feel like he’s missing out. It’s not my dream meal for my daughter at all but I believe in everything in moderation. Make sure he has a nutritious breakfast and dinner and you could put in a specific request to the parent taking him that he has to have water for example or fruit instead of fries. That would just be what I would do. If you reallyyyy don’t want him to eat it then pick him up early. Or just be honest with the mum otherwise this could become a regular situation in the future. If she knows where you stand now - then you may be able to avoid it.

First took my oldest son at about this age and he didn't like the food. He still remembers he didn't like it and has said no any time he's been offered to go (he's 6now). So it worked out well

Thank you ladies for taking time to respond. I find these situations as a parent hard. I would never want to offend the other parent or for them to feel like I was judging them for allowing their child to do something that I wouldn’t allow mine to do 🙈 each to their own. I just over think it I guess xx

In the last few months we’ve been to McDonald’s a handful of times and get our girl a happy meal. I end up eating most of her fries and she eats the cheese burger 🤣 you can always swap out the fries for their fruit/veg option. And the novelty of the little toy or book is nice for them.
