I told my 6 year old we were going to have a "fun breakfast surprise" this morning. Made some homemade pancakes from scratch, spent like 45 minutes on them. He looked at the plate and goes "Can I just have cereal?" Absolutely destroyed me. Why do I even try.
Ha, that's rough. My kids do the exact same thing with homemade stuff. Spent all that time and they want the sugary cereal box. At least you tried - they'll remember the effort eventually, even if today wasn't the day.
Haha wait so was it actually good or did they immediately demand the sugary stuff? Because that's usually how it goes at my house. I make something healthy and they look at me like I've committed a crime.
The 'fun breakfast surprise' setup is perfect for a setup. I feel like I know where this is going. Did they appreciate the effort or did you get the standard 6yo rejection?
Homemade cereal is actually fire though. My kids go crazy for it when I make granola. What did you put in yours? And please tell me the cereal aisle betrayal part means they were excited at first then let down.

Pancakes from scratch for 45 minutes? Man, you're a better dad than most. My 6 year old would do the same thing though - we all speak cereal box fluently in this house.
