the great peanut butter debate

My husband and I keep having this crazy argument.  He is a teacher and he is under my feet home for the summer.  I love having him around, but he’s been messing up my morning routine. He gets up with the boys every the morning.  This is wonderful.  He feeds them breakfast.  Still wonderful.  He feeds them toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  Ugh!!! He is taking away one of my lunch options!  Doesn’t he understand that I think these things out?!!   And there are only so many things my little guy will eat for lunch.  But for breakfast he’ll eat anything- he loves everything that has to do with breakfast. I might have mentioned before that my youngest is a picky eater.  The only proteins he’ll touch are bacon, chicken nuggets and peanut butter.  So you can understand my frustration when my husband feeds him toasted PB & J for breakfast. And here is the kicker.  If he happens to be feeding them lunch, he’ll fix peanut butter and jelly again - just not on toasted bread (way to switch it up honey). My husband thinks I’m being crazy (ie. anal), because he makes the sandwiches as nutritional as possible (whole wheat bread, natural peanut butter, organic jam).   I just don’t think it should be served twice a day. I can’t count how many times Steve and I have argued about this. Then when I saw Steve pour himself a bowl of cereal for lunch.  Genius - why do we have to have certain foods at certain times?  If I can’t get Steve to see the error in his ways, maybe I can change the way I do things. So I served pancakes for lunch.  You should have seen Luke’s face.  He thought I was the coolest mom ever.  Thanks honey!
