CEREAL, toast or, if you’re lucky, some fruit.
That’s what the majority of parents will be giving their children for breakfast as they head back to school after the six-week summer holidays.
But one mum has divided opinion by sharing a look at the VERY lavish spread she puts on for her three children to mark their return to school.
Petra took to TikTok to post a look at the “back to school breakfast”, explaining in the video: “It’s time for the back to school breakfast and it’s all set out ready for them to dig in.
“So we’ve got a selection of all sorts, we’ve got eggs, we’ve got some fruit, we’ve got some pain au chocolat, chocolate waffles, brioche bread, crumpets, yoghurts, cold meat and cheese, lots of different sauces and things and croissants and things too.

Opinions were vastly divided in the comments section of Petra’s video – with some praising her for making such a big effort, while others said it was a waste of time.

“I can only imagine how much food is wasted,” another added.
With Petra hitting back: “There was no wastage, I have a hubby that eats loads and airtight containers for left overs.”
