Judge me, please, you wouldn't be the first.

I have not infrequently made myself late because of the degree of difficulty required to construct "good enough" school lunches.

Throughout the kids' school lives I've regularly made cheesy spinach/mushroom/tomato omelettes for breakfast, and or smoothies ; partly as an act of love, partly so I know I have done a "good enough job" of food-nurturing, even though I work.Just FYI, "yoghurt pots" are trending now over anything egg; these involve a Bonne Maman jam jar, layers of unsweetened Greek yoghurt, oats, berries, plus some LSA powder, chia seeds and dried coconut strips to top.

How you feed your children has become so picked over, weighed up and linked to the quality of your parenting , I'm surprised there has not been some new obsessive-style disorder diagnosed, en masse. We live in the shadow of Failing Our Children and staying out of it involves healthy every-single-meal – except on road trips.

Isn't that what the servants are for ;)

Vegemite sandwich,apple and banana worked in the 70s,I’m pretty sure the evolution of humans hasn’t changed that much.

Maybe if parents learned to make less pretentious lunches then they wouldn't find themselves stressed out. You can make perfectly healthy lunches without resorting to half the stuff listed in the article.

George Pell pre-sentence hearing LIVE: Judge Peter Kidd enters court as hearing gets underwayJudge Kidd has questioned whether in Pell's mind at the time he thought he could get away with his crimes, which he described as 'utterly brazen', and thought he had a degree of impunity, reports acooperjourno acooperjourno That flies in the face of the forensic experience that untreated pedophiles lacking in remorse or empathy for their victims almost always re offend. acooperjourno What? With 77 years of being that way? Doubt it. acooperjourno At 77 he’d be lucky to get it up, without Viagra! &, by Law, no Dr would prescribe Viagra to a convicted Ped! So Cptn Kidd’s probably right there. It’s not a mitigating circumstance though & should have no bearing on the length of his sentence. Though I bet it will! 🙄

History will judge George Pell, the cardinal who sought to crush meA lawyer and survivor of a priest's sexual abuse, John Ellis will remember George Pell for his 'covert war' against victims who dared to name predator priests. If the appeal succeeds, our hope for justice served, that of the commons, is stronger than theirs, of that there is no doubt. We will call foul. By their own definition, he would be consigned to that of an agent of Satan. Apparently God didnt know everything. hypocrisy Ultimately his faith will judge him. For now the courts have judged him to be a disgusting individual.
