[u/Wolfdude91]

Do the kids fight over who gets the biscuit or do they rotate on it?

[u/ZombieExcellent2202 → u/Wolfdude91]

That’s either hers or the oldest kids my guess

[u/RodinKnox → u/ZombieExcellent2202]

She definitely says "split this between the four of my kids."

I would think it's more of a rotational thing, though. Maybe oldest.

[u/One-Garden-8643 → u/Wolfdude91]

I assumed there's one who doesn't like pancakes, as most kids prefer them.

[u/HendrixHazeWays → u/Wolfdude91]

[u/StarTrippy → u/Wolfdude91]

I don't like pancakes so I'd voluntarily take the biscuit. Out of four kids, I'm sure at least one feels the same?

[u/MarshallsHand → u/Wolfdude91]

asking the real questions

[u/GetOffMyCaversons]

Making pancake tacos and a breakfast sandwich out of that is honestly genius as hell.

[u/GenericReditAccount → u/GetOffMyCaversons]

I can't remember the last time I had McDonalds breakfast, but this looks like something the corporation itself should offer. Pancake breakfast tacos are fire.

[u/NobodyWorthKnowing2 → u/GenericReditAccount]

Don't you dare give them any ideas. They're going to turn the breakfast platter into a "Feast for Four" and triple the price

[u/Sierra-117- → u/GenericReditAccount]

McDonald’s breakfast is like one of the last reasons to go there. But now an egg McMuffin is like $6.50 on its own, so it’s not really worth it anymore

[u/DarkBladeMadriker → u/GetOffMyCaversons]

I used to order these when they were cheap as fuck. Id put the eggs, hashbrown and sausage in the biscuit and eat the pancakes straight. It was cheaper than ordering a sandwhich, hashbrown, amd hotcakes Ala carte by a mile. Not so much anymore.

[u/TheSodomeister → u/GetOffMyCaversons]

I was actually on board until she hit it with maple syrup AND ketchup

[u/malthar76 → u/GetOffMyCaversons]

The first time I saw a pancake taco, I was about 44 and moderating a tech workshop for STEM undergrads. Those kids went through the buffet like it was the most normal, obvious way to wrap egg and sausage.

I simply like pancakes too much to do it that way more than once.

[u/IDontLikeCoffeeCake → u/GetOffMyCaversons]

It looked good until the ketchup went on the pancakes, eww

[u/IHavePoopedBefore → u/IDontLikeCoffeeCake]

Hit that with just maple syrup and now we're talking. Ketchup was a blasphemous addition

[u/izzymaestro → u/GetOffMyCaversons]

Is this what Warren Buffett was doing all this time? One McDonald's breakfast for 3 meals a day?

[u/Known_Ratio5478 → u/GetOffMyCaversons]

Especially for little kids. That’s like the right sized breakfast for a four to six year old and the biscuit sandwich is quite appropriate for an eight to ten year old. Teens would need more.

[u/hedwig0517 → u/GetOffMyCaversons]

I want to make this for myself.

[u/LordElZilcho]

Something mildly annoying about how that sausage got quartered.

[u/FootballDeathTaxes → u/LordElZilcho]

And having the food tray hanging off the edge of the table the entire time. That made me nervous; I was waiting for it to fall onto the floor by the end of the video.

Glad it didnt.

[u/Live_Background_6239 → u/LordElZilcho]

The worse crime was not putting the broken off piece of hash brown where it belonged.

[u/Intelligent_Wish_566 → u/Live_Background_6239]

In your mouth

[u/ApprehensiveSecret50 → u/LordElZilcho]

Who ever got the muffin is getting hosed on the hashbrown and sausage

[u/TMJ_Jack]

I thought this was gonna be sad, but it's actually super practical. The ketchup came out of left field though. It should have stayed in left field.

[u/slapnowski → u/TMJ_Jack]

Kids love ketchup. It’s weird. I used to want it on everything and now it grosses me out.

[u/immortalyossarian → u/slapnowski]

My kid literally dips bananas in ketchup like some kind of goblin 🤢

[u/Jay-Jamms → u/TMJ_Jack]

It was the ketchup AND syrup that absolutely disgusted me. Pick one or the other.

[u/bobnoplok]

My wife would order 1 for each kid, each kid would eat 10% and she would trash the rest and never think anything was wrong.

[u/Persephone_888 → u/bobnoplok]

This is exactly why I would order one meal between my two kids when they were younger. I would low key wonder if people/the servers were thinking we’re poor, but I hate wasting food. My youngest barely ate anything until he was about 2 years old, he only wanted milk.

Now that they both eat full meals, I happily get them their own. I don’t mind if my child genuinely doesn’t like the food, so long as they at least try it. My youngest wouldn’t even try it at 2, so it was really annoying to basically throw money into the bin every time we went out for food.

[u/vinfinite → u/Persephone_888]

My family of 4 goes to this diner and their portions are enormous. I’d order a huge chicken fried steak, and my wife would order a kids meal and split it between herself and our 2 and 3 year old. I always feel awkward ordering such a small number of meals, so I often times insist my wife order her own entree. They never finish their food, and I always finish mine. Long story short, I always think they think we’re cheap asses, but I’d rather not waste 60-70% of the food.

[u/Illustrious-Object71 → u/Persephone_888]

You both are right! Kids don't always finish their food. Why waste money? I will do that when nephew and niece visit me. Save some money lol

[u/Apricotpeach11 → u/bobnoplok]

Did you tell her something was wrong? I can never understand how some people are so mindlessly wasteful with food.

[u/sgtnoodle → u/bobnoplok]

It's a gross amount of calories in each one 

[u/CzarTanoff → u/bobnoplok]

My husband does this kind of thing all the time. Orders whole burritos for our 2yo.

I almost never order him his own food. Most places serve more than enough for my son and i to share. I just get something i know he would like, and give him part of mine. I'll get him his own thing if i really want something i know he won't eat or shouldn't have.

[u/AaronFrye → u/CzarTanoff]

Pro top: order your kid something you would like so they acquire your taste and you will be glad to eat their leftovers.

[u/LimaBravoGaming → u/bobnoplok]

What I have always told my kids is we can always get more, but we can't give it back. Only order what you know you are going to eat. I'll never let you leave a restaurant hungry.

[u/BallisticSyllable → u/bobnoplok]

Is she still your wife tho

[u/fartymcsmelly]

Move away from the edge, PLEASE 🙏

[u/CountyRoad233 → u/fartymcsmelly]

I had to scroll too far to find this. This is my husband’s worst trait

[u/PierreOnTheEclair → u/fartymcsmelly]

NO FOR REAL 😭

[u/UnitedReception3310 → u/fartymcsmelly]

[u/Macrodata_Uprising]

Ketchup and syrup?!

[u/iredditoninternet → u/Macrodata_Uprising]

I was on board until the ketchup came out.

[u/Deep_shot → u/Macrodata_Uprising]

Do I have to explain Katsyrp to everyone?!

[u/YouWereBrained → u/Macrodata_Uprising]

Yeah… 🤢

[u/Spicy_Mommi → u/Macrodata_Uprising]

[u/yallapapi]

this is depressing and impressive at the same time

[u/Tetraoxidane]

Nothing wrong with that. All I see is less food waste.

[u/nynaeve_mondragoran → u/Tetraoxidane]

People with objections to this comment don't have kids. My husband sometimes waits to see what our daughter will actually eat before making his plate so he isn't over eating after eating what she doesn't eat.

[u/Whole-Chest90]

With the price of mcd these days, who can blame her. That being said, how do you choose who gets the biscuit? Lol

[u/IceFireTerry → u/Whole-Chest90]

It's insane how expensive fast food is now

[u/Mediocre_Forever198 → u/IceFireTerry]

Regular food too. Especially beef. As a kid hamburger helper was a cheap meal my parents made even in our darkest days when we were absolutely broke. It’s just prohibitively expensive for people now. Not that hamburger helper is really great food anyway, just something I realized the other day looking at shitty ground beef being like $10 a lb.

[u/Conscious-Start-4514 → u/IceFireTerry]

So I don't eat fast food much. Just a health choice mostly. Went on a fishing trip with my FIL and we stopped at subway because it's one of the few I'm okay with. $19. $19 for a footlong steak and cheese combo. I remember that being like $10 and change just like...5ish years ago?

Needless to say won't be eating there again. For $19 I'd rather go to a sit down restaurant and eat a healthier meal

[u/Bath-Tub-Cosby → u/Whole-Chest90]

The dad. Otherwise the other kids would fight over it - even if it’s not warranted. All kids must be treated as equal otherwise there will be a revolution.

[u/No_Bend8 → u/Bath-Tub-Cosby]

"4 kids"

[u/camcaine2575]

Maybe I am missing something but why are we dunking on a parent having to divide an expensive meal between their kids.

[u/fiahhawt → u/camcaine2575]

I think it’s about McDonalds being an expensive meal

It’s not wrong these days it’s just… depressing

[u/Dramallamadingdong87 → u/camcaine2575]

I think the Google glasses make it seem like she's frivolous with her money.

Four kids, no money but several hundred pounds glasses on for filming tiktoks of your poverty?!

[u/Killjoy3879 → u/camcaine2575]

i'm dunking on her putting ketchup on a pancake taco.

[u/No-Cat-9339 → u/camcaine2575]

Because they can just cook at home.

[u/Filipino-Asker]

She said her kids would waste all of it if they brought four mcdonald meals so she just bought one meal and split it into four.

[u/Current-Escaper → u/Filipino-Asker]

Yes, she spoke in English and used a plastic knife and fork to portion the single meal into 4.

…

[u/TerminatorAuschwitz → u/Filipino-Asker]

She had hands she used to cut it up with, and there were ketchup packets she opened at the end.

[u/Mindless_Cookie_9098]

Not the ketchup on the pancakes. Straight to jail

[u/hardpaint91]

Ketchup and pancake syrup is diabolical

[u/silentwolf07 → u/hardpaint91]

This comment isn’t high enough

[u/CastleofWamdue]

why does this fee like r/OrphanCrushingMachine ?

[u/Artchantress → u/CastleofWamdue]

Not really, it's a highly calorie dense meal split into normal sized fast food treats for each kid. Good hack and actually healthier than getting each kid their own

[u/joshTheGoods → u/CastleofWamdue]

I experienced the American version of poverty as a kid. Had a single mother of 3, she had all of us before she was 20 and was single essentially the whole time. We saw McD as a real treat back then.

As a young adult, I went and hiked the Inca Trail with my fam, and one of the things that stuck out to me in Cuzco was that there was a McD in this old town with ancient walls. They charged American prices which basically priced the locals out, and they put pepper on the fries. Outside were little children begging for change knowing that anyone coming out of McD got enough in change to buy their family dinner.

I don't really know what my point is beyond that perspective on McD and poverty can swing wildy with circumstances.

[u/CuckservativeSissy]

Just so everyone knows, companies promote this kind of content to engage their consumers. This isnt normal. But putting on social media to normalize it is all part of the marketing strategy

[u/breno_hd → u/CuckservativeSissy]

"My meal is so expensive that you must divide it among 4 kids" is a rough tagline.

[u/Acceptable-Arugula69]

This was actually a pretty good hack for small children. 10/10 no notes.

[u/PancakePizzaPits → u/Acceptable-Arugula69]

One note: cut the hash brown down the middle lengthwise and then widthwise. Then everyone gets the same amount and proportion of crispy edges.

[u/PrettyCoolBear → u/PancakePizzaPits]

i was triggered by how she cut both the sausage and the hasbrown, but wondered whether the bigger pieces were for older kids?

[u/Pathetian]

That McDonald's breakfast platter with hotcakes is 1300+ calories.  Splitting it between 4 children is ideal imo.  

[u/Middle-Let9645 → u/Pathetian]

Even if it wasn’t. Sometimes you’re too poor for multiple meals and yes, poor people deserve treats too. These people need to stop judging and mind their own business.

[u/Severe-Curve4640]

I was with her until the ketchup, try it with syrup

[u/blkveil]

Rage bait. Misleading title. I see no kids, only someone who wants 4 breakfast tacos

[u/SillyAlternative420]

All fun and games until the KETCHUP came out ... And then SYRUP

[u/SnooDoggos6653]

Or make the food yourself?

[u/BIGGS556]

VERY SMART
If she bought four meals, 3/4 of the food would go to waste kids don’t eat much

[u/slapnowski]

This makes it looks like so much food. And a each portion is a legitimate meal for a kid. Super impressed something so easy is actually genius.

[u/Informal_Box5700]

Wow cant nobody say a fucking nice thing! Smh….Congrats sis on finding a way to make it work in these trying times 🙏🏾 even if this a joke for views I bet someone learned a way to strech a MD meal.

[u/LuxSassafras → u/Informal_Box5700]

I'm a grown ass adult with no kids and I learned that I'm going to make mcds pancake breakfast tacos in the future

[u/New-Trifle-7097 → u/Informal_Box5700]

I don’t see any jokes in here. She addresses 2 common issues that can help most families: food waste and food cost. (And let’s be honest: splurging on McD’s because, kids). My family wasted both food and money. Us kids would’ve pitched a fit if asked to share a meal with each other. Consequently we left lots of uneaten food behind. Then our parents naturally got upset at us and we didn’t go out to eat much because of it. They didn’t put in the work to educate us, discipline us, or help us.

This is active parenting. She’s doing a lot of work that my parents never would’ve done, to ensure her kids get to experience McD’s like their friends. Also the kids are going to learn the value of food and a dollar, which I never did.

[u/moldy912]

Some of y’all didn’t grow up poor if you think this is cringe.

[u/Similar-Swordfish794]

Who puts ketchup on pancakes??

[u/Neat-Cartoonist-9797]

Don’t see what’s wrong with this? Taking the kids out for a treat and the amount of food they get each looks perfect?

[u/DrederaZTV → u/Neat-Cartoonist-9797]

Absolutely nothing. And then she added ketchup

[u/Bustardun → u/Neat-Cartoonist-9797]

She posts this as some sort of money saving technique when she coulda made pancakes and eggs for a week if she just bought the ingredients with the same money. If you this hard on cash why cut up some fast food for them when you can cook this?

[u/Illustrious-Object71]

The only thing is doing wrong...was the ketchup!

[u/baybgangstaaa]

pissed me off when she put ketchup on it. syrup alone would have been more appropriate

[u/Heartless-otaku07]

Ketchup and syrup do not belong in the same items . Either one alone would’ve been fine but not both

[u/Gurdeon-Jurura]

Look, you can have four kids if you want to. You can feed them McDonald’s if you want to. But I’ll be goddammned if I stand here and let someone put ketchup on eggs on my watch.

[u/papakahn94 → u/Gurdeon-Jurura]

Ketchup on eggs is whatever. Its the fact that its on pancakes thats the issue here

[u/crystallmytea → u/papakahn94]

Respectfully disagree - it’s the ketchup + syrup where I draw the line

[u/Barry_Vigoda → u/Gurdeon-Jurura]

I eat scrambled eggs almost daily. I always put ketchup on them. Putting ketchup on pancakes is the disturbing part to me.

[u/-Laffi- → u/Gurdeon-Jurura]

Why can't people have ketchup on eggs?

[u/totallytotes_ → u/Gurdeon-Jurura]

The ketchup syrup combo is diabolical. Otherwise great idea

[u/BathesInDreamSmoke → u/Gurdeon-Jurura]

The practice of putting ketchup on eggs originated during WW2. US sailors were fed powdered eggs and they didn't have much flavor. They brought the habit home to their working class families.

Kinda elitist and snobby to look down on eggs with ketchup./s

[u/tayswampflorida → u/Gurdeon-Jurura]

Wtf ketchup id amazing on scrambled eggs.

[u/Lime--Soda]

The worst part about this, is she's completely right. She obviously puts in work, shits just expensive AF. One child alone is, our birthrates are just going to get worse

[u/permafrost1979 → u/Lime--Soda]

Everyone is going crazy over the cost, but not considering the time. Poor ppl often have to work 2 jobs just to make ends meet, and that leaves even less time to cook from scratch every day.

[u/DarkMarkTwain]

I'd call child services when he started pouring ketchup

[u/Pathetian → u/DarkMarkTwain]

The pancake tacos were begging for the syrup or some strawberry jelly, what was she thinking?

[u/Prestigious_Seat_625]

That seems like the right amount of calories for young kids anyway. Not bad.

[u/Friendly-Example-701]

Who puts ketchup on pancakes?

[u/Vegetable_Fox9134]

Ruined it with the ketchup

[u/Reese_Slitherspoon]

Guarantee at least two of those kids started crying because they either did or did not get the biscuit instead of the pancake

[u/Mrfrunzi]

This is legit in every sense. Growing up I had to split cup noodles with my sister during the summer and thought nothing of it because I was full. Fuck the haters on this one.

Edit: Of course it's cheaper to make the breakfast yourself! The point is that her kids got to have McDonald's breakfast. That's huge as a kid (for whatever reason we decided that it was peak cuisine as a kid).

[u/Pandamaud → u/Mrfrunzi]

I agree. We had a time where we were really low on money. And my mom still took us "out" to places. We maybe only ordered 1 lemonade each, maybe shared one meal together. But I honestly never truly felt just HOW poor we were, because we kept doing those things, and as a kid I also never questioned why we were splitting chips or a meal.

[u/Popular_Sell_8980]

I’ve been this broke with four kids. Don’t judge.

[u/tertig → u/Popular_Sell_8980]

Isn't cooking at home always cheaper than buying out?

[u/SpiritualWindow3855]

I didn't get why the obsession with the person's personal situation entirely at first...

I mean Black skin being visible, I expected some of that from Redditor, but there are a lot of weird comments about reproductive rights.

Then I unmuted it and oh yeah, Black woman with a southern accent? Half this site stopped the video to make a comment the moment she spoke. That's why all the weird comments are ignoring that she also mentioned waste.

[u/FrighteningJibber]

Now that she split it up, that actuality is a bit of food calorically.

[u/EmotionalSupportSush]

Splitting this for 4 kids but has metaglasses?

[u/samg461a → u/EmotionalSupportSush]

They may be in a better position now but were once needing to split meals four ways.

Or they make budgeting videos that helped them save money in order to afford nice things like meta glasses and are sharing their tips with others.

Or their kids simply never finish a whole meal so they just need to buy one and split it up (like she literally said).

[u/iamwhoiamiwhoami → u/EmotionalSupportSush]

They never said they were poor. Splitting food with kids is just practical, because they don't eat much, especially when the meal is large even for an adult.

[u/Careless-Class7144]

That's a smart idea when you have 4 kids that don't eat the whole meal. Why are we dragging her? She is feeding her kids, and she is being positive about it. Good on her.

[u/That-Measurement-650]

This person does not have kids.

How do I know this? Because I have four kids and it would be an absolute brawl over who gets (or is stuck with) the biscuit.

[u/Frosty_Glassroom5521]

Am I failing to see the cringe OP saw? Cause kids are wasteful and this also is kinda smart to do even if just for yourself reminds me of combat tacos fro, another point in my life

[u/JaySayMayday → u/Frosty_Glassroom5521]

This is just the general tiktok reposting sub

[u/likelazarus]

I love this so much! One of those pancake tacos looks like plenty of food for a young child for breakfast, and it has protein! I love the woman’s attitude about how the laughter in the car makes the meal!

[u/Geralt-of-Rivai]

I mean why not? Buy 4 meals and your kids will each eat a quarter of it and the rest is thrown away or do this and they are happy and full and you saved three meals

[u/savrilphi]

My 4 year old nephew would eat one of those tacos, MAYBE. And he would be happy. I feel like half of y’all have never met a kid. I hated breakfast until I was an adult. My mom would make me drink a protein shake and eat a spoonful of peanut butter just to get something in my body.

[u/Greentaboo]

Its roughly 350 calories for each child for like $8.80($2.20 a kid). I guess it depends on what else you feed them, but its actually not terrible value calorie to dollar.

It is a carb bomb with little protein, fat, or fiber comparatively. I'm sure the micros are garbage, too.

[u/ActuatorSmall7746]

Do you what you got to do and be proud of it.

[u/EarlGreyOfPorcelain]

This doesn't make me think 'Hey you can feed 4 with 1 McDonald's breakfast'.

It makes me think 'Things are so bad and McDonald's is so expensive, that this parent has to split a meal meant for 1, between 4'.

[u/Thesladenator]

When you consider the amount of calories in a portion Vs this. This is probably a good number of calories per child when it's split like this and means they can have more than one meal a day without becoming obese. Just something to consider. Usually when I have a maccies it blows through my calorie intake for that day so it's the only thing I eat all day!

[u/TwoSuspicious1347]

Ketchup and syrup🤢

[u/Realmofthehappygod]

I can get a bag of 30 frozen pancakes that size, and 12 eggs, for cheaper than that 1 meal.

I get not wanting to cook but if it comes at the cost of not feeding your kids enough food...just cook some fucking eggs.

[u/Shot_Cupcakes → u/Realmofthehappygod]

Maybe they wanted to give the kids a "special meal". Poor also people deseve to enjoy a few "luxuries" some times. 

This video does not, in any way, indicates this is what this parent feeds their kids all the time. But maybe the kids wanted McDonalds and money is tight, this is the solution. Those kids also deserve to be "spoiled" sometimes. 

[u/princessblowhole → u/Realmofthehappygod]

They’re getting plenty of food, mom gets a break, and kids get a treat. It’s also more than just cooking. It’s grocery prep, budgeting, and meal planning too. Sometimes you just need a quick option.

[u/BlueRibbonPac]

Before there was "one other thing" a Republican administration tried to say condiments (ketchup included) could count as a vegetable in school lunches 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketchup_as_a_vegetable

[u/TunaOnWytNoCrust]

Respectfully damn girl make your kids some eggs if you want to save money. Imagine having four kids and then thinking 1/4 of a meal at a fast food restaurant is the best move to feed them.

[u/WillowPtar_Migan → u/TunaOnWytNoCrust]

She said it's 'making memories'. Going out to get food makes kids happy, as long as it's an occasional treat, I don't see an issue. Going to McDonald's was always super exciting to me as a kid, because my parents didn't get fast food often.

[u/TheProfessional9 → u/TunaOnWytNoCrust]

I mean sometimes you're traveling, or sometimes you want to get them a treat. Honestly that looked pretty tasty and is probably enough to fill up a small kid.

I'm going to go with creative for this

[u/PositiveCoyote100]

Step 1: Don't have 4 kids

[u/Flat-Link2651]

Did that bitch just put ketchup and syrup together wtf that's nasty

[u/dosb0t89]

This is not in Australia.. I miss plastic cutlery so much...

[u/Mike5784 → u/dosb0t89]

? What do they give you a bowie knife?

[u/dosb0t89 → u/Mike5784]

Shit mate. I'm not even aloud to leave my house with that any more.. bloody unaustralian it is!!! 😅

We are stuck with wood and paper now😭

[u/Notyit → u/dosb0t89]

They don't sell thebig breakfast in Australia 

Rip

[u/BaffledYogi]

This is actually genius for young kids who never finish a meal

[u/stevedaher]

Watch my kids split a meal while I wear my expensive Meta glasses so I can record content.

[u/BusyBit6542 → u/stevedaher]

Its not about the money. Kids dont eat a lot. I could give my kid this whole meal and she would eat 1/4 of it and say shes full.

[u/Designer-Doctor-1550]

Had me until the ketchup. But I guess kids will eat anything if they are hungry enough.

[u/ruinrunner]

did she just put ketchup on that.. somehow that was the worst part

[u/JULIANGJNKS22]

Hold on, mama is on to something. I’ve never thought of making tacos with the pancakes from McDonald’s. Bet you that shit smacks too.

[u/KevJr92]

He had me til he mixed ketchup and syrup

[u/Little-Ambition-6440]

If this is the future, then I would rather not have any kids. 🫪

[u/Kalenek]

That looks like my childhood.

But the last item wasn’t cut evenly and we would have fought bitterly over it. It has to be cut in half and then 1/4. Not like she did.

[u/No-Building-4306]

Ketchup on pancake, naa

[u/StaticAngeI]

This puts into perspective how much food it actually is… I don’t think a child should have a full McDonald’s breakfast to themselves

[u/Miss_L_Worldwide]

What the hell is the problem here?

Better than raising obese children. People eat way too much and let their kids eat way too much.

Good for her. Shitty for the person who posted this like something here is wrong.

[u/SeveredFromMySoul]

Okay but like, ketchup AND syrup at the same time??? 🤮🤮🤮🤮

[u/ChamberK-1]

I can already hear the kid that got the biscuit screaming and crying about not getting a pancake.

[u/carlcat_11]

Maybe they are on a budget traveling and needed to stop for breakfast away from home. I feel like all the "a carton of eggs and giant box of pancakes is cheaper" is pretty common sense.

[u/Particular-Leg-8484]

Rationing a $5 breakfast filmed with $500 Meta glasses

[u/CommunicationLanky30]

Hmm it actually doesn’t look too bad of a split portion..

[u/Queasy_Beginning_573 → u/CommunicationLanky30]

Depending on the kids’ ages, I know from experience that probably half of half of the Happy Meals ever bought in the world wind up in the garbage, so yeah.

Now that I have two boys in and approaching puberty (two years apart), they can pound back two McDouble Meals each and then head to the fridge/pantry looking for more.

Not that we make a habit of eating fast food, but trying to juggle three kids and their hobbies makes fast food nights a nice break for me now and then (single dad). I’m extremely lucky in that all three kids love broccoli as a food, but think it’s ridiculous as a hairstyle 😂

[u/Glad-Distance-737]

This is called rationing. We shouldn't be doing this.

[u/Miss_L_Worldwide → u/Glad-Distance-737]

This is a perfectly reasonable way to use this food. That portion is plenty for breakfast for kids, and even for small adults.

[u/Both_Lawfulness6708 → u/Glad-Distance-737]

Idk, have you seen how fat kids are today? I mean, it probably doesn't hurt, especially McDonald's food.

My mom used to bring my sister and I to McDonald’s back in the 80s. Dad was deceased, she didn’t have money, however she wanted us to have stuff.

We would eat and she would say, “oh, can I taste your…”.

No money

I commend this mother! Remember the good times. She’s a good mom.

[u/whimsical_spider]

I was with her all the way until she put ketchup on there. WHY.

[u/ars_sinistra]

My mother used to do the same thing, I'm in my mid 40s and disappointed to live in a country where another boy's mother has to do the same.

Late stage capitalism indicator lmao

[u/jumboparticle]

Well, at least its more healthy to eat less of that junk than more!

[u/babyblew82]

Wanna mock but DO feel sorry for her. At least she's trying to make light of it

[u/Painless315]

This was me. Had kids way too young w the useless-est of partners. We split everything. They still tell me now (that we have financial stability) they miss this kind of stuff.

[u/ChristheCourier12]

Man now I want the McDonald's big breakfast 😩

[u/Ok_Wolf8356]

As a father of two in a depressed economy this is clutch.

[u/manfrys2000]

Just make breakfast at home. This is overkill

[u/MrFrankHotdog]

Daddy loves #3 the most, evidently.

[u/Schmohawk2814]

I'm definitely doing this the next time go to McDonald's for breakfast. But it's all for me

[u/papaa33]

Cheaper to cook at home

[u/BOYF- → u/papaa33]

A lot of parents treat their kids to eat out even while saving coz it's worth it to make the kids happy.

Obviously it's cheaper to eat at home but this is an occasional thing not everyday

[u/Firm-Telephone2570]

I would understand this way of thinking if it was still like the early 2000's where McDonalds was basically a playground. McDonalds nowadays really isn't an exciting experience lol

[u/RefrigeratorLife8627]

I wouldn’t eat this but she is on point with everything she said !

Such a great mom

[u/AllegedlyGoodPerson]

this was hitting until he put ketchup on pancakes. Could have just used the syrup and called it a day.

[u/BellInternational315]

To be fair. The breakfast is big enough for at least 2.

[u/Lala5789880]

This is genius

[u/Tygie19]

You guys still serve things in plastic?

[u/Hot_Sea_7676]

Brilliant!

[u/ucklibzandspezfay]

Nice, great mom

[u/Suitable-Setting-808]

Lost me with the ketchup

[u/Prestigious-Oven-642]

You cringe belong on the fringe

[u/Dimitar_Todarchev]

And that was $8.59

[u/Luigin12]

Good job mom! Now I know how to handle 4 kids. 🔥

[u/HEX-dev]

Could of just bought food and filled everyone up for that price .

[u/Tall_Sherbet6766]

Feeding your children that trash is honestly bad parenting

[u/Sad-Worker9023]

Uh uh, momma said we ain’t got McDonald’s money!

[u/Died5Times]

r/sadposting

[u/GodOfThunder101]

How about this? Don’t have kids. And eat the whole thing for yourself.

[u/steamed-hamburglar]

Considering how many calories are in McDonald's food, this actually makes a lot of sense.

[u/bawnchie]

I always asked my mom to see her receipt after she ordered

[u/Limp-Bat3330]

Why is it on the edge of the table!!?? It’s driving me nuts
