[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never even heard of a restaurant that doesn't have vegetarian options. I am GF so I am aware of how restaurants can be tough, but unless you are vegan, difficulty at restaurants is just not a thing. [/quote]

Difficulty at restaurants stems from being a picky vegetarian/pescatarian. Not lack of options! For instance, if you only eat one kind of fish and that fish isn’t on the menu…etc. etc.[/quote]

Gotcha. [b]I have never tolerated pickiness[/b] and it has resulted in no restaurant or friends' house issues. Prob one of my best parenting decisions among many that I have doubted over time...[/quote]

sometimes this is just not possible.  my picky kid came out of the womb picky.  [b]she wouldn't even eat many baby foods[/b].  it was a struggle from the start.

pat yourself on the back all you want, but maybe your kids weren't really picky.[/quote]

That’s where you made your mistake, not serving real food from the get go. I’m a NP but I also know that kids aren’t born picky, their parents make them that way. I served my kids real food, sometimes in a simplified version, from the time they could start solids. And babies don’t need to be spoon fed, up until a year it’s just about trying different foods, and they might need several exposures to a food to start to eat it.

As far as the OP, due to a medical condition I can’t always cook. The kids have been fine since they were about 11, sometimes
cooking more, sometimes more sandwiches or pasta. It’s fine to make them responsible for some meals at their age. [/quote]
