I forgot to mention that my daughter who does eat breakfast sometimes comes up with strange choices of food, because she does not like most typical breakfast food. She has been known to eat a turkey and cheese sandwich but I guess it could be worse. Me, again.

But now that I am grown up, I almost never eat breakfast. (I am one of those who can't stand to eat first thing in the morning.) Now that I am the mother of 2 teens, I have one who eats breakfast every morning and one who never does. By the way, I do not cook a hot breakfast for the one who eats breakfast, she is too picky and she just fixes herself whatever she is in the mood for that day. I am glad she eats something, whatever it may be and I always worry about the other one who never eats breakfast (even though I do the very same thing and I am sure she is just doing what she sees me do.)

I usually have a whoppin' glass of chocolate milk in the morning. My 19 month-old is just coming off being sick (during which he didn't eat anything) and has now decided that he really doesn't want to eat breakfast. I've tried not to make it an issue, but its hard! Now, I'm just giving him chocolate milk and those Yo-Baby smoothies... is that bad? I’m not much of a breakfast eater… unless someone else is cooking!

She quite literally eats like a bird, and I struggle with the guilt of her sometimes going off to school without much breakfast in her belly. Best advice my pediatrician ever gave me was "you decide the what, they decide the how much".

Our son loves sausage and Cheerios so that's what he eats most mornings. I made strawberry/cream cheese stuffed French toast the other morning...yummy!!

We pretty much ate whatever didn't eat us first. . .my daughter, like me, eats her cereal dry--in a bowl--with a spoon--but no milk. My son thinks frozen waffles are God's gift to him personally. As long as they feel good when they head out the door to face the world, who cares. In our early married days, my husband would sometimes FORGET to eat. I have never been afflicted with that type of forgetfulness. To each his own--and no milk with mine, please. You crack me up.

I try to get my kids to eat breakfast. I myself LOVE breakfast and will have it in lieu of any other meal. Even if it's pizza that they are eating I am happy that breakfast is being eaten but I do know a lot of people who can't even think of eating in the morning. I am from the same school as you.

If his stomach is like mine when I was a kid, he may not. The mere thought of food use to make me feel utterly nauseated until I'd been up a few hours . . at which point I was already in school and forced to starve until lunchtime. Yet all those years of starving stomach in school did NOT make me want to eat anything before I left for school! “If he’s hungry at school, he’ll figure out quickly that he needs to eat something for breakfast.”

I just send him to school with a cereal bar and tell his teacher that if he gets hungry it's there. More often than not he eats it before snack time. I'm not a big food pusher either. When they get hungry, they eat - right? None of them have weight issues, so I don't feel bad. My five year old won’t eat breakfast sometimes either.
