[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you.  I loathe cooking weeknight meals for my picky eating family.  Every now and then I hit upon a recipe they like, but more often than not I have one or two at the table [b]picking at their plate making faces at what I have cooked for them[/b].  If I left it up to my husband we would have McDonalds for 5 dinners a week.  [/quote]

My kids don't always like what I cook, either. But we have a rule, if someone cooks for you, say thank you, and don't make a face. It's very rude.  This includes if your parent cooks for you.   I tell my kids - if you made me a drawing and I said, "ew" or "that's not very pretty", would it not hurt your feelings?

They are 6 and 9 now so it's sunk in.  I can still tell when they don't like something, but they've learned to not make a face and shut up and eat it. I'm not cooking anything else, and they are not eating anything else other than what I cooked. So, the alternative is to go hungry.[/quote]
AMEN!
I almost want to print this out and hang it up. [/quote]
