[quote=Anonymous]What if, as part of your vacation planning, you set up a sign up genius or Google doc.

She could have all of the main meals, or 2/3 of them, if she wants, someone else can help generate a shopping list.

You can add to the doc (or list) "snacks" or "clean foods" like plain bananas, yogurt cups, 200 calories packs of things like pretzels, and explain that your kids sometimes needs "on the go" foods or that you are working on several smaller meals throughout the day to support &lt;insert issue here...muscle development, keeping a balance of sugars, prep for the snack schedule for next year, soccer practice, napping...&gt;.

As a parent, you have more of a right to control what goes into your kid's faces that than she does.
If she pouts or you pout, try not to care.

I agree that the eating disorder "force is strong with this one."  It feeds an addiction to do what the foodie says, while they make the choices for you, and sets your kids up, (in a very small way) to consume things they don't want to please others in the name of friendship. It it came in a martini glass or a pill, not on a plate, would you make your kid consume it?

I also agree that the small act of eating a banana may be a person who had that banana "budgeted" for a recipe for X number or people.  The shopping list, including "my kids need __" is a legit idea.  My friends and I have done this.[/quote]
