As a mom, I'm always worried about DD's nutrition. Daycare doesn't feed them the healthiest options, so I try to make sure she eats really well at home. I was thinking about this the other day and thought about what I remember eating for breakfast as a kid. Obviously, my memories are from being older than DD is now, but I ate pretty craptastically and turned out okay. I need to remember this when I feel like freaking out about her food again.
Tell me what you remember eating for breakfast.
I usually had either:
Rice Krispies with 1% Milk and several spoonfulls of sugar or a PopTart.

we had cereal during the week and toast with real butter and honey (or nutella or jelly), pancakes, french toast, etc on weekends. we never got sugary cereals bc we would fight over the "prize" inside.

Usually cereal or poptarts. But often pancakes and bacon on the weekends.
The kids usually eat yogurt, fruit or toast. I, other the other hand, usually eat a poptart at work and sugary cereals are still my weakness when it comes to snacking!
This. My dad was a total health freak bc of his blood pressure. So we had one bag of chips and a "treat" cereal each week and when that was gone...you're SOL.
Nothing, McDonald's/Burger King/Hardee's, PopTart, Little Debbie......on special occasions or when we stayed at my grandparent's we had grits, eggs, bacon and toast - Mmmmmm.
I do make sure to feed DS healthy. I had a horible diet as a child and I've always struggled with my weight. DH's family is very overweight and I think it's very important for him to have a very healthy diet. He eats great and prefered my salad and asparagus last night to his PB&J (we had steak, rare and I didn't have any leftovers to feed him).
During the week we almost always had cereal; when we were much younger, it was Cheerios or Rice Krispies, but as we got older my mom started caving into our demands for sugary cereals like Lucky Charms, Honeycomb, or Golden Grahams. She drew the line at Fruity Pebbles, though, so I only ever had that at my best friend's house.
On Sundays my dad always made brunch (and still does), either pancakes and sausage, waffles, French toast, eggs and bacon, or dried beef (which I loved then but wouldn't touch today). Occasionally we'd have leftover pancakes or waffles during the week, or Cream of Wheat on cold winter mornings.
In high school bagels were the craze so that's what I had then. Plus I was always late and they were easy to eat in the car.
Most mornings my girls have oatmeal with mashed banana, or homemade pancakes or waffles with applesauce.
My mom cooked most mornings, so I had eggs, toast, bacon/sausage etc. On the mornings she didn't cook, I had sugary oatmeal. I don't think I had pop tarts until I was in middle/high school. I'm still not a fan of pop tarts. My mom would also buy the frozen waffles/pancakes. When my parents were together, my dad usually just had coffee for breakfast.
Most of the time I try to cook breakfast when LO is home, but he has to have a banana when he comes downstairs. As soon as he hits the kitchen he starts reaching for bananas.
Up until about 6th grade I ate cereal (mostly cold, occasionally oatmeal), sometimes with fresh fruit cut into it. After that, I pretty much dropped breakfast altogether.

I had the same, but I am one of those weird ones that eats leftovers like pizza or plain spag. (minus the sauce)
We had cereals that were sweet but not over the top-- we often had honey nut cheerios, kicks, chex, and occasionally coco puffs or apple jacks. We also did toast, bagels, nutrigrain bars, if mom had time she would do eggs. The worst thing I can remember eating was these corn-dog like things that were a sausage link w/ a pancake wrapped around it--eww gross! My mom did these more once I was in high-school b/c she could literally hand it to me as I was running out the door to my car and eat it while driving...it was better than nothing.
DS eats similiarly-- dry cereal (honey nut cheerios, honey nut chex, apple cinnamon cheerios), nutrigrain bars, bagels, frozen waffles/pancakes, toast, eggs w/ cheese, fruit.
