"Chocolate, Banana & Peanut Butter Porridge. No matter how popular my porridge bowls might be on Instagram, our 4-year old sure knows how to knock my ego down. Every morning feels like a parody where I am the waiter that never gets it right. “That’s too little porridge dad!” “I want another bowl!” “Nooo, the berries are on the wrong side!” “The bananas can’t touch!” “MORE HONEY!” “Don’t swirl the peanut butter!”. We’ve tried letting him make his own porridge bowl but then he just intentionally puts EVERYTHING on and leaves nothing for his siblings."
