[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What OP describes is totally different from the PP's imagined scenario. The child is old enough to heat up a pizza. Don't do it for him. I personally find American children like him to be spoiled. I can't imagine my Vietnamese parents refusing vegetables in the refugee camp I was born in. Children like that need to have some sense drummed into them! [/quote]
It’s actually not imagined, when I was young and living in, of all places, Germany, a host remarked on my rudeness for exactly that situation. It was true then and is true now, that it is ruder to comment on what someone has left on their plate, than for the person to have left it there. [/quote]
 Except you are not a host, a restaurant or the Gala at the Met. You are the dang grandparents. It's a picky kid, find and cook some sh*** he will eat. Let him know that he needs to eat at least one small serving of veggies at a few meals and keep it moving. You are not trying to problem solve you are trying to just make this kid wrong. Do you have kids?[/quote]
