[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks PP. They won’t eat much of anything and my sister will leave and go to fast food or they’ll eat on the way. She won’t say what you said…I’m left trying to figure out what to serve that her girls will maybe eat, but also isn’t just their limited items. I also want to serve food for my parents and sister and us.

I suppose I was asking for plain foods that would appease the kids and my family…? But I don’t know. I’ve been doing this dance for years and it’s really hard.[/quote]

It’s not your job to figure out how to change her kids’ diet.  It’s your job to respect her parenting.

Serve a nice meal for the adults have plain white bread and peanut butter and goldfish, or chicken nuggets if you can ask what brand and have a peaceful meal with no judgement.

+1 this is the only answer op. It’s not your job to figure out other foods. Even if they are going to try other plain foods it WONT be at your house on a holiday in a new environment, kids tend to be MORE picky in those situations. I really feel like you’re making this hard than it needs to be. Think about it as you are going to serve the meal you want to serve to your family while also including some safe foods for your niece because you love them and know that Christmas isn’t the time to make a thing (which I think is what you’re saying and want! So if so, then just feed them what they like). Serve your soup and bread. On the appetizer table have a bowl of goldfish out. Along with your soup throw some chicken nuggets in the oven and serve them next to the soup. It’s really pretty simple I think! That will be perfect for everyone. Your sister is trying not to ask you to specifically accommodate which is kind and appropriate of her and it’s kind and appropriate for you to offer the options that they like even so since you know what they are.
