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.

Well then so much for the concept of the inherent value of pushing yourself towards potentially enjoying something to which you were slow to warm.

I don't think it's about superior. I think it's about having different ideas than your own that could actually work or maybe work better.

That depends. Are you trying to alienate these people or socialize with them?

Honest, I don't see what the big deal is. One person doesn't dictate an entire meal. But in the act of playing hostess with the mostest, I think it would behoove one to serve a mixed bag of things that everyone can enjoy, if one intends that these people should leave with the desire of coming back to enjoy more of your good company.

I can't speak about vegans, I imagine that would require a bit more creativity, but having had to cook for a vegetarian in the house, it's really pretty simple to make "regular" as in run-of-the-mill, entrees with faux meats or other substitutes that even carnivores will eat.

If you enjoy experimenting and cooking, I think you'll enjoy the challenge of transforming typical meat-dishes to a vegetarian interpretation. It's part of that school of thought that promotes trying new things and new foods because it makes one fit company for one's self.

Not to me, or I wouldn't have asked for clarification.


Or, are you going to say that this is bait too?

I have yet to hear any mother on this board who doesn't have the discipline to stick to a routine for naps or anything else admit to the benefits that would accrue to her children if she were better scheduled.

The point being, if you invite him over for dinner, its your responsibility as a hostess to make sure there is food there he can eat-not
