Possible encouragement for the future:

My son would turn up his nose at anything that wasn’t peanut butter or Kraft Mac & cheese (not mixed together, though) until about a year ago. He’s 14 now and will eat anything (except for brussel sprouts) that isn’t nailed down.

So, there’s hope.

Yeah, it was wonderful and horrible at the same time. Very bittersweet.

I’ve had a some experiences like that (not exactly the same, but along similar lines) with my young-uns, especially the little lass, who is now 7 and has always been more self-reflective than her older brother.

Kinda breaks your heart and makes you proud at the same time, doesn’t it.

Dude wouldn’t eat Brussels sprouts if you paid him, nor on a bet. Blech!!

Actually, I don’t understand it, either. My breaking point was when I found out the school was serving macaroni and cheese with Li’l Smokies and she dumped the WHOLE THING. I mean, c’mon. It’s not like they were trying to get her to eat broiled salmon and caviar.

It’s the little things that make you go nuts. When she was born, I was sitting there wondering how to protect her from pedophiles and bad boys, and now she’s 5 and I’m just trying to figure out how to keep her from starving herself to death because she doesn’t like what she’s given.

And it ain’t Brussels sprouts.

Half of me is thinking that’s the sweetest thing and she deserved two cookies, and the other half is thinking, so why can’t she just obey when you tell her to eat the entree. Complicated little fiends, aren’t they?

Dude felt horrible upon learning that TD1 (is that like being QB1?) sat and watched the other kids in her class eat pizza. Talk about mixed feelings.

Eva, yes, she got cookies and she got a good gushing-over. She’ll be getting pizza for lunch today.

Philip, please! Don’t jinx me!!!

Being a step dad, I skipped ahead. I missed the kindergarden issues and went straight to the girl totaling the car.

Ugh, I hate those fights. I have one that’s just as stubborn, I feel your pain.

But, you gave her a coookie for that, right? Cause most kids would have eaten that pizza and never thought twice.
