Why do my kids think cereal for dinner is a valid meal?

Served cereal for dinner last night because we had a crazy day and I completely forgot to plan anything. Now my youngest thinks this is totally acceptable and keeps asking when we're having it again. Wife is not amused. Did I just create a monster or is this actually not that bad as a once in a while thing? Asking for a friend.

With three kids and three different practice schedules I've served worse things and felt zero guilt. Cereal has calcium. You're fine.

Cereal for dinner happens to the best of us. My rule is if it has protein and some fruit on top, it counts. Last week I did PB&J sandwiches and called it a win.

Dude cereal is basically a food group at this point. The real question is whether you're being judged more by your kids or by yourself. I'm guessing yourself.
