We had real battles with our kids over meals and what they did or didn't like..
It became a real fight some nights but most kids eventually get it sussed..
There's so much processed crap thats directed at kids through advertising that it is hard to keep saying no.
As a parent it was so annoying to cook a nice meal with all the right things only to watch your kid shove it around the plate,whinging that she wanted chicken nuggets or some such crap

Well what pisses Mrs. Dallas and me off is that at any given meal, one kid will like something and the other won't--but you can serve the same dish a week later and they've changed positions. It's like they have a secret pact to never eat the same thing at the same meal.

After I walked to school and back...... uphill...... both ways, etc, etc, etc, my mother put supper on the table. There was no choice and no whining.

Word to yo mama. As they say.

My B.I.L. an MD, lets his kid eat pastries, ice cream, and donuts because he is a "vegetarian". Seven frickin years old. This is a vegetarian that must love vegetables as much as animals, 'cause he won't eat vegetables either. Just sugar.

What a train wreck.
