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.

It hasn't been SAID .. but has been implied many times in this thread. Especially when people start quoting how many hours during the week she spends with her kids.



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.

What, that no matter how perfectly normal, I don't like 3 year olds, including my own? I didn't so much care for Peter at that age either.

"Felicia hasn't asked anyone to diagnmose or 'fix' her child, she simply has been very honest about the frustrations of dealing with a very needy child." That's certainly one possible interpretation.


Care to share your interpretation?


Your disingenuousness in this post fools no one, by the way.

Lois suggested that Joey may be better behaved if Felicia worked less hours and spent more time with him. You agreed, and pointed out all the things she likes to do without her kids. I took that to mean you also suggest that she is possibly the cause of the "problem," rather than seeing that the "problem" is simply that she has a three year old whose temperment is difficult for her to deal with.

Since Fleicia hasn't had post after post in this thread insinuating that you are a bad mother, I didn't comment at all on her attitude towards you. And I really only read maybe one or two threads on this board at any given time. Perhaps it is just the topics that I read, but you seem to criticize her parenting and her attitude, her schedule and her strictness on a regular basis. You are doing it here. I commented on it.

Check again. She didn't label his "behavior" as being at times disagreeable. She labeled his PERSONALITY as disagreeable. "Its like the difference between saying someone is being a bitch and saying someone is a bitch." Precisely. Which is why I find it problematic that she's saying her child is disagreeable, when I do indeed believe he is acting like a perfectly normal 3 YO. (Which does not say to me that she is brutally honest, to be brutally honest.)

Go back and read mw's post about how her child is more treasured than any other child. I am not the only one who read it that way, and given how certain people post here, I do believe that is how some of you see yourselves.

I didn't see the picture before, but now that I have, I must say that you could easily pass for 30, and it was a lovely dress!

I have maintained for years that whoever labelled the twos as terrible got the year wrong. I'd much rather have two fives and skip the threes altogether. (Not the kid, of course, but the threes.)

Now finally, that's honest. That you don't like 3 YOs, just because they're 3 YOs. I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with, is you blaming the 3 YO for you not liking 3 YOs.

That's because YOU don't find three year olds to be disagreeable.
