If I didn’t serve a God that allows for grace, I’d totally raise up a castration posse.

I’m just sayin’…

I swear it is genetics. My oldest is a great eater, will try anything once. And she often likes some of the things that most kids wouldn't even touch. My youngest is just like my husband - a horrible eater. And I am the horrible mom who doesn't even try any longer. I make a meal for my family, and if there is nothing that I expect her to eat, I just give her a bowl of Cheerios, or a pb&j. I am probably doing it all wrong. I KNOW she will eat if she is starving. But life would NOT be fun with a 3 year old crying hysterically for a couple days until she finally gives in and eats what we serve. I'd rather just keep giving her something I know she will eat that is at least a little healthy. I figure, as she gets older and grows out of the tantrum phase, I will then start putting my foot down and requiring at least one bite to try. Maybe then I will try the "eat this or nothing" ultimatum. Good luck. Kids are tough! <em>Irene's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/nOXe/~3/436881260/did-you-see-that-last-post-no-good-onto.html' rel="nofollow">Did you see that last post?

That little girl of yours didn't deserve any of those comments. It sounds like your kids are as picky as I am/was!!! As a kid, I barely ate anything. I liked my pancakes, breads, pastas, fruits, and that was about it. To this day, I HATE most meats and fish and am still kind of picky, however, it does get better! I've definately been more willing to try things and sometimes I even like them! I still don't think I will ever like chicken though :) I think you’ve done the right thing by deleting that post!

Eventually we realized our error and now he eats what we eat....mostly. He still turns his nose up at lots of things but will eat enough variety that I can make what appeals to the rest of us too. Oh Weird Al...they just don't make 'em like that anymore :-) <em>Kami's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/The4OfUs/~3/433167201/early-halloweening.html' rel="nofollow">Early Halloweening</a></em> I have a picky eater too and we also made the mistake of making separate meals for him.

I have tried different ways of dealing with it and I have decided that it will not be a battle. I do not make different meals. He may have a bun with peanut butter, but he has to have one bite. I find in our house if I buy the ready fruit and veggie trays with dips they gobble it up. I put it out as an appetizer while I'm making the meal and they can pick away at it. Anything with dip. My kids like greek food alot. I make a lot of souvlaki chicken (buy it from costco frozen in the bag) and add different sides. We sometimes do breakfast foods for supper. My youngest is the pickest.
