Parents are outraged after discovering the “disgusting” breakfast a mother feeds her five-year-old son every day.
An American man recently shared an image of a large block of Hershey’s chocolate on a paper plate.
The chocolate was placed in front of an iPad playing YouTube videos from the viral ‘Grimace Challenge’.
“My cousin and her son are staying with us for a while, this is what she normally gives her son for breakfast,” he captioned the Reddit post.
He was especially surprised because it revealed that the house was stocked with various breakfast foods, including fruits, bread, eggs, bacon, sausages, and more.

The man also revealed that his cousin allows her son to mess and not clean, causing him to live in what seems like a “constantly dirty house.”
“We don’t eat cereal, but I always buy regular breakfast foods for my family, like bacon, eggs and sausage,” she added.
‘I buy food for everyone to eat and she gives it (a chocolate bar) instead of taking the time to prepare a healthy breakfast for the child.
“She rejects (my healthy purchases) and instead buys candy, chips, soda and fast food.”
He shared that the mother also gives her son donuts, cookies or other sugary things when he doesn’t feel like a chocolate bar.
“It’s less work and you don’t have to cook,” he explained.
Nutritionists have previously revealed that a healthy breakfast improves a child’s concentration and academic performance.
Doctors say that a healthy breakfast should contain a decent source of protein, which could be eggs, smoked salmon, full-fat yogurt, or nuts and seeds.
Many on Reddit immediately criticized the mother for her “bad parenting” and also for allowing her son to watch silly YouTube videos during breakfast.
‘I’m a nanny and I’m a little surprised by what they give for breakfast to the children I take care of. Pure sugar and refined carbohydrates, always! And they look at the iPad during breakfast, always!’ a woman shared.
‘What level of brain decay is in that iPad?’ one asked.
‘I don’t judge these things too harshly because I eat terribly. But a regular XL chocolate bar is crazy. Even sugary cereals have to be better than that,” wrote another.
‘Fruit is twice as filling, cheap and convenient. “This is just stupid,” one mother said.
