[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not make any special foods for kids at Thanksgiving. My kids eat almost anything adults eat (barring alcohol). Because I have exposed them to a variety of foods, my kids have been able to appreciate eating at fine restaurants all over Europe. [/quote]
Jesus this is beyond ridiculous.  My kid eats whatever we eat all the time and loves a variety of foods.  Does that mean I can NEVER make a special treat for her specifically?  Or every once in a while prepare a meal of things that I know are her favorites, just because I want to?  Your response is so over the top and also really very pompous.[/quote]

Your language! Of course I make special treats that my kids like. But the idea of making a special dessert for kids at Thanksgiving seems excessive and inappropriate to the occasion. This is not a kid's birthday party. It's a family gathering with adults and children, and there is no reason why the usual pies or desserts should be supplemented with "desserts that kids love." Rice krispies treats?! The current culture is too child-centered, and OP's questions and some of the responses shows how adults bend over too much to accommodate children. [/quote]

Not the PP, but here's a crazy idea - then how about you don't make one and step away from this thread. The OP was not asking for thoughts on whether a special dessert should be served to kids on Thanksgiving. Different strokes folks, calm down!! Why do you care of someone you don't know is making rice crispy treats. Time to find a hobby. [/quote]

Why can't someone express an opinion, and everyone agree to disagree? The moms who make special desserts for children are getting ridiculously defensive. [/quote]

Because when that opinion is if you make a turkey cookie for your kid at Thanksgiving you are being "excessive and inappropriate" and "too child-centered" and "bending over too much to accommodate children" it deserves a good laugh. Come on. You've got to see how ridiculous that is. Especially in response to a simple request for fun dessert ideas. On a food and cooking forum.[/quote]
