[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Both will try (3 bites or so) literally everything. They will have a small potions of everything. The only thing my oldest does t like is homemade Mac and cheese, but she will be polite enough to eat a few bites because grandma made it.

There’s not a single food my kids won’t eat at least a few bites of to try it. [/quote]

That makes me really sad.  [/quote]

It makes you sad that my kids genuinely like to eat and try new food? :) OK! I guess your little heart will just break when I tell you that my 6yo loves eating sardines and mustard on Saltines with her grandpa. [/quote]

No, it makes me sad that your child thinks he needs to eat something he doesn't like on a holiday with lots of food choices to please someone else.  If your kid wants mustard and sardines then guilting them into eat mac and cheese is as manipulative as forcing sardines and mustard on a kid with different tastes.

I’m the PP you are responding to. My oldest is 10 years old. Her favorite food in the world is good ol’ blue box Kraft Deluxe. She doesn’t actively dislike grandma’s mac and cheese, it’s just…not her favorite. But she gets that grandma made it from scratch, and she gets that eating a few bites is a nice thing to do. She gets Kraft Deluxe for 90% of her mac and cheese yearly experience. It really is OK if she eats a few bites of homemade mac and cheese instead of the boxed kind every now and then.

Are you OK?[/quote]
