[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Having a limited selection of American foods that he eats is not "plenty of foods". It's embarrassing that more parents cannot encourage their children to eat better. [/quote] Might be, but it is not the job of step-grandma to correct this situation in a 2 week visit.[/quote] She can still introduce him to new foods. Why is that considered bad? It's her home; she shouldn't have to feel like the family's dining habits are being overhauled for a 12yo. And I think that is where the conflict lies. The 12yo shouldn't be running the show. When I was growing up none of the grownups ask me what they should be cooking, and they shouldn't have. It's the same philosophy I have with my own children to the chagrin of my sister who gives in to her children so readily. I see how differently our children behave and I have no doubt it is because my kids don't get their way but hers do. [/quote]
