Actually I've just checked up on .gov.uk With the governements new directive that all babies have to be a standard weight, the ones over 8lb are classed as obese and will not qualify for school dinners :D

Re: Child Benefit and School Meals
 

MY GOD...... zack was 8lb 8oz when he was born!! fat sh!t :D should have took him to weigh watchers rather than baby clinic.

Re: Child Benefit and School Meals
 

My daughter was 8lb 13oz but that wouldn't have mattered cos she takes packed lunches anyway :)

Re: Child Benefit and School Meals
 

Well exactly........ PACKED LUNCHES :eek: You bad parent.... ( slinky grabs the phone and rings social services right away )

Re: Child Benefit and School Meals
 

I think they should bring back the uniform grant. You used to get vouchers that you could only use in certain shops to buy the uniforms. You got it at the start of every new school year. Now you only get it when your child starts secondary school.

Re: Child Benefit and School Meals

Re: Child Benefit and School Meals
 

If he was born today, that poor child would have been classed as Morbidly Obese :D:D:D At one time, they would have said " oh that baby is a healthy weight " not any more lol, can't get anything right us parents any more :rolleyes:

Re: Child Benefit and School Meals
 

In the mid 60s you had to visit the clinic every week to have your baby weighed.
The mothers with plump babies who gained most, looked with pity on those who had 'slim' babies.

Times and standards change = the experts are forever moving the goalposts

Trust to your maternal instincts - you instinctively know what is right for your baby

Re: Child Benefit and School Meals
 

lol, bloody stupid isnt it, what they gonna say next?....its our fault they are big!!.......how do you make yourself have a slim baby?, which i have had also.....my first child was only 2lb 13oz, so what happened there:rolleyes:...lol

Re: Child Benefit and School Meals
 

Well in that case, your a bad mother cos your baby is under weight, see ya should have eaten more McDonalds in this case :D:D
