[quote=Anonymous]Solidarity! I get so much freaking "feedback" on the meals I serve, and even the restaurants we go to. Everyone's a critic. Even when I go out of my way to get input and let them request certain meals or restaurants, I still get pushback. So tired of it.

I also blame myself because I do have picky eaters, but I honestly am not sure where I went wrong. DH and I eat a wide variety of foods, we've always eaten meals together, served the kids what we are eating, and offered a variety of things so if there is anything they don't like, they can eat other things. I see other kids eating steak and sushi and curries and salads and just think "where did I go wrong?" I've never been a short order cook and have always been consistent and offered healthy options but also not been insistent that they eat any particular thing.

DH is convinced it's genetic. He was apparently a horribly picky eater as a child, but outgrew it. I hope for their sake this happens for them. Having watched a child tearfully reject a plate of French fries because they are "too squishy," they are in for a very difficult adulthood if they can't find a way to just be happy with perfectly acceptable food when it is served.

Either that or they will become gourmet chefs or food scientists or something. Maybe they are super tasters?[/quote]
