I Fed My Kids Cereal for Dinner Once

I know it’s not the ideal dinner choice, but there was this one night when I fed my kids cereal and milk as their main course. They were running late coming home from a friend's place, and I had to work late too. By the time everyone got home, the stove felt like another chore that needed tackling. So instead of spending an hour slaving over a pan to make something fancy or even quick pasta, I gave them cereal. It’s not like it doesn’t have some nutrition, milk has calcium and cereals can be fortified with vitamins, but I know deep down I should’ve made the effort. They seemed happy enough at the time, and honestly? If I’m being completely honest, I feel no real remorse about it. Maybe one day when they’re grown up and have kids of their own, I’ll tell them this little story and see how they react.
