[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIL refuses to buy foods that the kids like and then makes us feel terrible because our kids are bad eaters. I’m not talking about sugared cereal (gasp!) or spaghetti-os level “kid food.”  She made beef stew last night and tonight we are having fish because she got a good deal at the store (and because SHE likes that). The house is a museum and no games of any kind left over from Ds and three sibs. I’m not even sure they were allowed to sleep in the house as children (I know the dog wasn’t).[/quote]

What is wrong with beef stew and fish?  This is basic human food, not anything weird or unusual for kids.[/quote]

Grandma is trying to deprogram the pickiness of her grandchildren, which has been enabled by their parents.[/quote]
She can try, but pickiness has a lot to do with genetics and how your taste bud's work. My mom has a pet theory that you don't like the things that are problematic for you. She tends to get gout and found it easy to avoid most of the forbidden food because she didn't care for it.

That said, she's been perfecting her 6 am pot & pan symphony for many years. [/quote]
