It depends on how I feel that day

In my family's case, the only kind of fast food my kids know of is pizza from the local pizza spot, and it is rare for them and for us to have.

If they normally eat well, and the food at home will keep - fast food/takeaway it is! If they’re quite fussy and have had a few rubbish meals recently or the food will go out of date before been used - home cooked Some days I just want a load of rubbish food!!

Depends how they've been, if theyve been well behaved then maybe. We rarely had take away growing up. Mc Donald's was for birthdays (if that's what you wanted) and going on holiday (we would leave at 3am and we could stop at 8am for breakfast at mc donalds). We litrally had take away a handful of times a year. When I left home for the first time i honestly was amazed by the amount of take away places 🤭. We only really have take away on the odd occasion still. It's a nice treat

To me it would depend on my energy levels and what is available in the fridge. But we don't tend to eat fast food and my kid luckily loves home made food. 💕

Most of the time he asks for things at home but he has asked for a burger before and fries that I typically get from McDonald’s or in and out

Fast food is only occasional in my house so the kids never really ask, it’s usually a once in a whole treat that I would surprise them with. However, if I was too tired after a long day I would defo make a quick 30 minute easy meal- usually pasta or bolognese.

For me it depends on what time of the week it is, if it's Friday/Saturday I might go for the takeaway if we haven't had one in a while, but not any other night

If they’re craving a certain type of food, you can make it at home. I’m not getting fast food because you ask for it, sorry

Depends on if I already said we are eating at home. If so, then I’d stick to it. If not then I’d probably do the drive through if it’s an occasional thing.
