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.

To say nothing of failure to wear makeup.

<<but that doesn't make me unhappy or ready to steal my child's ADHD medication or run screaming into the night. >>


That makes 456,124 of us.



Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.  Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.

Pssst, Hollie ... I maintain that the posters here are not as intensely child focused as the posters here incorrectly imagine they say they are.

Good analogy, great way to point out personality differences.


I, personally, have no tolerance for knitting or cross-stitch. I've tried both. And lots of other crafts too....scrap-booking, crochet, painting. I get annoyed with the process and just want it to be 'done'. True crafters enjoy the whole process.


Like writing. I've written hundreds of stories in my head, but just can't get them down on paper. The sitting and typing part drives me nuts because, "Just where is this going, anyway? Are you going to get an agent, sell it? If they like it, they'll just want more and then you'll have to sit and type again."


Maybe child-rearing is the same. Some people enjoy the process more than others.

This morning, after having a difficult evening with Joey and getting up with him twice last night (he's apparently coming down with a cold), I thought randomly in the shower about Merella's comment that none of her four children have ever had a single night bad enough to make her or her DH (whoever gets up with the children) want to sleep in the guest room.

Virgo agreed with me that it's pretty crucial to find a way to bring out the positive side of any inborn temperament. The other mothers here who have more difficult children (including me, by the way), have talked about the balancing factors or the way that we enjoy our quirky kids despite them being sometimes difficult. You haven't. Instead, you dwell on the need to get away from your kids, to have a life apart from your kids, and hardly ever about things that you enjoy doing with your kids. That seems to be a red flag to me.

Haven't you ever heard that some people are apt to find certain other people disagreeable, when the rest of the world would consider them perfectly fine?
