Mum worries about giving baby McDonald's - but people are more concerned about drink

When it comes to parenting, many mums and dads soon find that everyone seems to have an opinion on what they're doing - from what they feed their children, to how they discipline them and even what time they should be going to bed. And if they aren't being bombarded with criticism from others, they might be facing their own inner critic about whether or not they're doing a good job.

One mum has recently expressed concern about letting her two children enjoy a treat from McDonald's twice a month after going swimming. The parent anonymously took to Mumsnet to explain her situation and ask fellow users if she was being unreasonable to allow her three-year-old and 18-month-old to eat some fries from the fast-food chain.
