[quote=Anonymous]Is it hard for him to eat at restaurants or other people's houses? Does his pickiness have any negatives in his adult life?

I have a few random pickiness issues wrt food and as a parent I have very consciously sought to expose my kids to those foods and to encourage them to eat them with their dad (and will also eat them in front of them even though I don't like them and will make sure not to show that I don't like them, though this is hard for me) because it's a pain to be a picky eater. And I'm not even that picky! Like I can order at restaurants and traveling is not stressful for me because I eat a broad enough variety of foods to be fine most places.

But maybe if you can talk to him about how his pickiness makes certain things difficult as an adult (like his marriage, for instance) he will see that he doesn't want to force his kids into the same issues. It's so, so good for kids to develop a willingness to eat broad range of foods. It's good for their health but also their social and professional lives, frankly. [/quote]
