My kid ate nothing but the frozen pre-made chicken tenders I brought as a backup. |

| I’m the PP with purse crackers. You guys, I felt less alone this year while watching my nieces and nephews eat their entire plates of all traditional foods. Thank you for your solidarity. There were no rolls so one kid ate whipped cream only and the other ate pie and whipped cream. Oh well |

Reporting back: Mac and cheese, cranberry sauce, squash (but only one kid ate that), pie
I, however, ate everything, and deeply appreciated a meal with plenty of meat since my kids are determined vegetarians and I mostly indulge them because it’s probably good for all of our healths and the environment. |

3 year old: chips and guacamole , a few brussel sprouts, a spoonful of sweet potatoes, a piece of Turkey, a big piece of apple pie (thx grandma), chocolate pie, ice cream
1 year old: a few chips, a spoonful of sweet potato, chocolate pie, ice cream baby (I’m pregnant): I ate very similar to what 3 year old ate, so very similar to what 3 year old ate I didn’t want to make a separate meal for my kids so I let them eat what they wanted for dinner and dessert. It’s a holiday! |

| My six year old did some tiny bites of most things, but only really ate deviled eggs, cranberry sauce, and pie. |

| They ate most of it, actually. I was pretty surprised my 5y/o said the stuffing was his favorite part even over the deserts |

| My kid ate mac and cheese, one small piece of turkey, and a mouthful of stuffing. He drank a ton of sparkling cider. He's a teenager! |

My 14 year old niece ate turkey, mashed potatoes, salad and cranberry sauce.
My kid (6) ate a ton a chips and crackers during cocktail hour, the go-go squeeze that my SIL left by his plate because she knows he won’t eat anything on the table. He then had some ice cream for dessert. Sigh… I do look at my niece who was picky but now eats fairly normally and hope for the future. |

Niece age 9 ate stuffing, mashed potatoes, a roll, a side salad, and apple pie. Maybe a bite of turkey. Did not eat macaroni and cheese (homemade so looked different than boxed/restaurant Mac and cheese), green beans, or cranberry sauce.
DS7 ate everything. DS3 ate mashed potatoes and other than that just asked for cheese and crackers … toddlers, man. |

We were at a cousin's house who we've never been to for tgiv before, so even the familiar foods were "new".
One kid ate everything and went back for seconds. (Yay! Imma gloat and brag about being the best mom ever for introducing table foods so early!) One kid ate one bite of sweet potatoes, half a pb&j, and a couple of pretzels. (Now I can be judged for being the worst mom ever who clearly didn't train her kids properly!) |

Accurate. One biscuit, two pieces of cornbread; thick smear of butter on all. A piece of pumpkin pie- which felt like a win at that point. Did try mashed potatoes until a tiny piece of onion was discovered. 7yo We have her a pbj a few hours ahead jic to prevent hangry meltdown. She used to eat everything. |

DD8 ate all the carbs. No Turkey, and only the vegetables I insisted upon.
My judgy SIL, who always used to make comments to my DH about what DD eats/doesn’t eat, ended up feeding her toddler some berries and a few crackers. |
