What about eating issues?
| Fri, 06-10-2005 - 2:24pm |
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.

I'm very good at the "Oh dear, I am so very sorry....if we had known you were coming, we would have set a place for you at the table....let's see what we can do....we can all squeeze together somehow, I am sure....and I'll be glad to share my Cornish Game Hen with you....they're always too much for me anyway."
I confess we went on a family reunion weekend with DH's family one year when two members of the family were vegan, one couldn't eat anything with raw onions in it, one didn't do dairy, one was allergic to soy, and there were two little kids who wouldn't eat anything green. It was tough. On my night to cook I just fried up some ground beef and some a separate dish of black beans, grated the cheese, and cut up about ten kinds of veggies and condiments and then told everybody that it was "Make your own burrito night" and if there was something they couldn't eat, just to skip it.
I'm thinking maybe she doesn't necessarily want to please that particular guest?
I'm wondering if the same practice would be used if the guest were someone influential to her or her dh's career? If the guest were her nanny or her in-laws? Someone she was actually interested in pleasing and/or impressing?
But do you eat them?
I also prepare foods for DH that he likes, but I don't eat them if I don't like them.
