[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cousin was an extremely picking eater from basically birth through the age of 18. It was mostly a control thing. She is extremely Type A, over-achiever, perfectionist, etc. She would basically eat ketchup sandwiches (I'm serious).

Guess what magically cured her? Going away from home to the Naval Academy. Pretty much "cured" overnight, because she couldn't pull her stunts and force the issue with the commanding officers. Do you think they coddle picky eaters in the plebe mess hall? LOL.

Anyway, she grew up pretty fast, once ketchup sandwiches and buttered noodles weren't an option. It was eat or starve, and she couldn't afford to starve with the rigorous academics and athletic regimen.

She travels all over the world now, and eats a variety of foods. The first time she was invited to an officer's home for dinner, guess what was served? Tuna casserole.

Glad she grew up. [/quote]

Yep.  These people bringing buttered noodles for their kids are not helping.  I'm find with feeding your kids after you get home, or AFTER they try the new foods, but...there is no incentive to try something new if you are going to pull out buttered noodles everywhere you go.

If I do not bring something for DC, then often the hostess make s fuss over what else can she offer...DC really does not care and just wants to be left alone.  He would be fine eating another time but often hostesses get upset with that.  If I can plop a pbj on his plate...all set![/quote]
