[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Understand completely, OP!

Agree with what others are suggesting. Also, now that mine is late mid-teens, I am trying hard to just not worry about accommodating so much and eating healthier for myself and husband (and therefore kids, too)...trying to set better examples and take focus and tension around food away. Also, since my very limited palate picky eater manages to survive two months elsewhere during the summer on whatever the food served that day is, I know they can do the same back home if they really want or need to.  That said, it's still very difficult NOT to consider their likes and dislikes and make accommodations. Just trying to do so much less often.

Bigger problem is the food available to them to pack for school lunches, which dictates my dinner planning around what leftovers they will actually eat and help ensure there is something for them to take for lunch. This is why we have pasta and pizza so frequently. But I can't keep eating that way - and my kids need to learn to eat more healthfully.

Sorry this isn't helpful. Just want to let you know you're not alone and suggest trying not to worry about accommodating every day.[/quote]

PS:  And ignore the sighs and rolling eyes in response to "what's for dinner" as much as humanly possibly without a thought! [/quote]
