Moms admit they eat their little ones’ meals no matter what the outcome

A survey of 2,000 mothers with children over the age of eight found that 46 percent have cooked something from their little one as a surprise, only to be surprised by his unsavory appearance.

Exactly half felt they had to eat what had been cooked for them, although it appeared that their son or daughter insisted on sitting with them until they were done.

82 percent stated that their child took this as a sign to make food for them more often.

It also found that 49 percent have previously pretended to eat a meal their child prepared for them, while 26 percent of those with dogs admit they ended up giving them to the family pet.

The study, commissioned by Ocado, found that 56 percent had their child cook food beforehand on Mother’s Day – with birthdays, Christmas and Easter also being among the most common occasions.
