What about eating issues?

We have debated sleeping issues to death once again....so what about another one of the issues of childhood....eating and/or not eating?


My kids eat just about anything and have a pretty well rounded diet.

You don't know how to accomodate. This ignorance is not shared by everybody else. I will say it- I am a much better hostess than you.

Wow....congratulations; you've even made the easiest meal plan in the world to diversity so rigid and inflexible that even the Stupids would laugh.....

LOL


OP, er QM - enjoys stirring the pot when things are slow at work.


Edited because the first post sounded much less lighthearted then I'd intended.

No, there have been examples. I gave at least one.

Can you imagine putting hamburgers on the grill but REFUSING to also put on a hot dog for the one kid who wanted one? That is the most rigid thing I've ever heard. I have frankly never encountered a grill that was either burgers OR dogs. Everybody does both. And people with big enough grills also put on sausages and sometimes chicken. Yes!!! Some people grill 4 different meats simultaneously!

As an FYI, I cook on a 1970s Caloric. It's def. a Sears cheapo model. My DH and I love it. And my counters are formica. And my cabinets handmade by the previous owner -- and not so well at that. I love my kitchen. And I love when DS sits at the counter and eats snack while I prepare dinner. Isn't all that matters is what goes on in the kitchen -- not what's in it?

My neighbor's dog was hit by a car last fall. I have always been slightly embarrassed about our chain link fence. It's all we could afford because we fenced in our entire backyard (and that's saying something.) I've always coveted her beautiful non-fenced acreage. She now eyes our fence jealously . . .

LOL. The built in microwave by the previous owner was cut into a cabinet by sawing a cabinet door in half.

This is what I don't "get." I get the income, the desire to work, the life plan, yada yada yada. I don't get not wanting to spend more time with your family. For me, having DS means I get to do so many fun things -- run on the beach with him and dogs, play minigolf, read HP at night, ride our bikes to the library, watch Star Wars together and eat pizza, etc etc etc. I love having as much time with him as possible.

Whether you mean it or not, your posts do show that spending time with your children is something you endure versus enjoy. I've read many of your posts where my jaw drops. I'm not criticizing you, honest. I just don't understand why you don't find sheer delight in your children. But then again, maybe I'm just the odd duck.
