Transitioning :(

If i understand correctly I think the pasta issue was that the parent doesnt want it served at lunch cause it's all the kid will eat without issue and she wants to serve it at dinner..... Hence the parent wants nice quiet dinner times for herself while the caregiver struggles during the day with all the other foods the child won't eat .... That's my take on it ... Not sure if I'm right though

That's what I got from it too.

Apparently this parent was 'appalled' that a daycare provider would serve pasta two times a week when she saw the menu.

I am not sure what pasta refers to. If it is KD or just plain noodles with butter then I can understand that a parent might be iffy but if pasta is whole grainw ith vegetables and beef or chicken tossed in or spaghetti and meat balls that are homemade then I have no idea. Spaghetti is always a kid favorite - it covers a lot of food groups and I can't understand if anyone would have an issue with that.

I guess if someone is serving spaghettios from a can or ravioli from a can then maybe I would question it

I serve pasta but always have meat in it and veggies and I serve some fruit or something alongside most times

I serve pasta 2 times a week but only as a side to a full balanced meal. (White cheddar mac and cheese is the only bad one but it's my daughters favourate, she would eat it everyday if she wanted too) Pesto fussili, linguini with alfrado, spagetti with tomato sauce (I hate the clean up) LOL. But due to this little one being part time I have limited pasta to only one day.
