[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you're starting a family, you need to get ready for what kind of eating habits your kids are going to develop. Your husband is going to be a problem. Don't raise picky eaters. Learn to cook well, and then cook meals that you like and don't give your kids a choice to decline what you make (though you could involve them in the menu planning). When you go to a restaurant, don't even let your kids look at the kids menu, let alone order off it. Doing this consistently from an earlier age. They'll get used to it quickly and it'll become just the way they eat.  Your DH will have to get with the program; if he's breaking off to eat his own over-salted junk food, the kids will see that and want the same thing. (And for the record, cooking tasty, healthful food doesn't have to be especially complicated or expensive. Just stick to traditional dishes, which were developed by people who had very little money or resources - pasta, tacos, stir fry, etc.)

You are very smug. My parents had two kids. They made meals they liked and didn't give us kids a chance to decline what was for dinner. We never ordered off a kids menu if there was one. They took us both food shopping, had us both help in the kitchen and eventually cook meals, and yet one kid came into adulthood eating a wide variety of foods and not being picky and one kid is very picky through no fault of their own. They suffered through years of dinners they hated, and have a sensitive palette. It wasn't you - it was just how your kids came out. [/quote]
