I completely agree parents should feed their children at home before they come. You wake them up earlier to allow for the time, and make sure they have a balanced meal. I don't serve breakfast, stopped that many years ago and state the above in my policy. If the parent can come perfectly groomed (hair, makeup, clothes ect.) they have more than ample time to feed their child. And the kids that walk through the door with a pop tart, ect. is not being taught the value of sitting down for their meals.

How many of you have had the parents that drop them off half asleep, crabby and hungry?
However, that same parent has probably eaten, had coffee and again perfectly groomed. Poor parenting imo.
