How to tell parents to feed their kids breakfast

[sandylynn]

I honestly don't mind giving any of the little ones, toast or cheerios etc. when they arrive at 7:15...I know it's hard for some kids to eat right after they get up...but I was having one dkg show up at like 10:30 (norm for them) and tell me she hasn't had breakfast...SERIOUSL Y? I told the mom I do not serve breakfast past 9:30..and that's a pain in the ...so guess who shows up now about 9:25....honest to god! The little girl actually showed up with her dad and says "my mom said you have to give me breakfast cause I am on time"....!!!!!?????

Why not have set time for breakfast like other meals/snacks. Say, 7.30am is breakfast. If they come later, they missed it. Just like if they show up at 3pm, they missed lunch.
