[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep.  I no longer cook for the kids.  I make dinner for myself + 2 leftover meals--ie, 3 people.  If other people in the house want to eat some of what I made, great.  If not, they are welcome to make something else.

I did this years ago. My kids ending up telling their therapist I didn’t feed them! And that there was never any food in the house (which is teenager for “there isn’t an endless supply of Doritos and Takis”).[/quote]

Pp back again. For the pescatarian, I’d just keep reinforcing that her choice to eat that diet is exactly that - her choice. Not some additional burden that’s now your responsibility to fix. It’s 100% on her to navigate this choice in the world. If she can’t sit at a table and make a selection without drama, I’d probably take her phone/iPad away for a day. I’d say ‘if you act like a 6 year old, I will treat you like one.’

For the Doritos/snack issue, I bought enough individual packs, fruit and cereal bars, and nuts to last a month for my tweens. Split them in half, gave both child a box with a month of snacks and said ‘when they’re gone, they’re gone, there will always be fruit.’  It’s been 4 months and working perfectly. [/quote]

Sorry, I meant to quote op’s quoting of me, 9:47[/quote]
