[quote=Anonymous]To OP. Disregard venomous posters. It happened with my kids around that age that they became picky about food, mine were always picky and would only eat my food until early teen/preteen years.  I am a great cook, not boasting.  Unless you are truly an awful cook, kids at that age like to eat what they feel like, just like you do, and you probably cook what you like to some extent.  Remind your kid to be respectful to you, but try to make compromises as this age is when they are trying to develop their own identity and that is transferring to food.  Ask what would he like for dinner tomorrow, talk as you would with an adult about what foods he might like to try and see if he will help you cook. Offer to buy some food for dinner as well, CalTor, Chipotle, preteens like that and soon you will be having a teen who will not only eat non stop, but will eat your food and still be hungry and will be going to eat with friends everyday after school. But it you are truly a really bad cook, then I don't know, what do you think of your own food?  Is your kid into really healthy food or doesn't care?  Many people of DCUM confuse being jerks to their kids to being "firm" parents.[/quote]
