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're right. But I don't think she sees that as a long-term fully negative thing. I don't think she views him as an awful child. Just that he has a disagreeable personality. She has found ways to work around that ... she doesn't, from what I can tell, try to stop what she sees as innate temperament. She doesn'st try to make him "conform". She avoids situations that bring out the worst in him.


She could paint it in a better light. Sure. But I doubt doing so would change the love she feels for her child. It's there whether he is disagreeable or not.



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.

The only clothing item I've bought for myself on eBay was a pair of maternity pants that didn't fit well, and I never wore them. I have gotten the kids a few things that have worked out well though. My latest bargain was a set of four Pottery Barn slipcovers for our dining chairs - less than $25 for the set, including shipping!

Well, it's certainly not my fault that I don't care for age 3.

I don't think there is a fault. On anyone's part.

No, I don't, thank you. As she did say, you didn't ask in the first place, and frankly, it doesn't interest me.

I'm not being disingenuous. You're having a colossally big sulkfest over absolutely nothing, to be brutally honest.

Yes, I did think she meant it. That's why the "confused" icon. Did I think she meant it about me in particular? No.

And no I never saw the Seinfeld episode. Hated that show.

Edited to clarify my first line.

Felicia is having a sulkfest? Good lord. She allows more snipping at her without getting nasty in return than any poster I can think of on any board I have probably ever posted on.

Can you link to some of this sulkfest she is having?

Ok so even though I didn't ask, you made an oblique comment, but when I ask you directly, you decline.
