[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 kids. Both kids have been fed the same food since they were babies. I made everything homemade when they were babies / toddlers. One kid eats everything, the other kid became picky with foods after the age of 3. Kids are now 13 and 10. The younger one is the picky one but is starting to get better. The food issue has been a very stressful aspect of parenting. This child has ADHD and strong aversions to certain textures. You cannot imagine what I go through on a daily basis to try and get nutrients into this kid. I have to celebrate any success I get.

My husbands family has always been very judgmental about this issue and have long made comments that suggest it is our fault. My SIL, who lives overseas, is not married and does not have kids, sends my husband and I a text that she heard our kid ate a vegetable the other day (obviously told to her by my MIL). She attaches an article about why American kids are such picky eaters. It is filled with all sorts of parental blame.

I’m choosing to ignore it and not respond but why does family do this????? If you are this type of person, stop it. Your opinion or “help” was not asked for. I don’t know how she thought we could read the article and not feel judged. I could send her articles about why people have a hard time finding a spouse but I know better - it’s not my business.

How do you respond to stuff like this? [/quote]
