    breakfast, lunch and dinner until it was gone. My old man didn’t put up with finicky eating, and we didn’t try it very often. take what you want, but eat what you take.

    Mine was ” This is not a restaurant, we do not have a menu. If you don’t want it don’t eat it but DO NOT go into the fridge later.”

    They should be happy to have a choice in what they eat. But this probably won’t work, they’ll want stuff Val can’t afford or all desserts.

    Grapes? Gingerbread cookies? Gum? Glazed doughnuts?

    We took turns shopping and the other one stayed homwe with the kids. Got tired of saying we’re only buy what’s on the list….

    The only time my Mom made an exception to the ‘you’ll eat what I cook’ rule was when she cooked shrimp. I didn’t like it, and that meant more for everyone else, so I got scrambled eggs, and everyone was happy.

    I can’t even take my husband shopping. All kinds of things show up in the cart that are not on the list, nor on my diet!

    heh, Val will prefer the complaining to the size of her grocery bills in a few weeks. Still, I can’t believe I used to ask for a tunafish sandwich as a child when my parents had lobster-bakes in the summer. (I feel like karma owes me about 12 lobsters free :))

    Maybe if the girls help pick out and prepare their meals, they’ll be more likely to try different foods. Then again, I could be delusional.

    here the rule is: You have to take at least one bite of the food, even though you didn’t like it the last time. After that they may have something else. Result: My 3 kids end up by eating almost anything at all - and we have all sorts of weird food.
