[quote=Anonymous]My 11yo is similar to your stepson OP. He is the only kid I've ever met who gags at the thought, much less taste, of a grape or a carrot stick. In the fruit and veg family, he will eat apples and peas and broccoli (and corn, not that that's much help) so he gets those with every dinner.

Honestly I don't sweat it. First of all while I love food I'm not a foodie, and since I work FT my main interest is in having enough food that is healthy and quick to prepare! Secondly I have a brother who ate little other than burgers through childhood who is now married to a woman who is into food and he happily goes to raw food restaurants and all kinds of adventurous eating. Finally I have a younger child who has a totally different palate - loves fruits and veggies, big salad eater - so I know it's not a personal failure for me as a parent that the older one is different.

Btw I agree with the PP - your contempt for your stepson's mom is completely obvious in your original post. Don't make food and eating a way to compete with her, OP - everyone will lose, especially your step-son.[/quote]
