[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those girls are crappy eaters. Bad mom parenting skills. If they are hungry, they will eat healthy food.[/quote]

Clearly you don't have picky kids.  Mine would go days or weeks without eating even if we gave them what they liked.[/quote]

We ate healthy/regular food when the babies were in the oven. Lots of food from different continents and made sure it was spicy. When they popped out, continued the veggie/fruit healthy baby food. When they were toddlers we served them everything; broccoli, asparagus, chile, sardines, hamburgers, thai chicken, pizza, sweet potatoes, salmon, omelets, lentil soup, blah blah blah. They still eat most everything. It takes a little effort to plan, but worth it for their health. [b]They didn't have a choice to be picky eaters. Wasn't going to happen on my watch.[/b][/quote]

:roll:  NP. So parents of kids with ARFID should starve them? You sound like an idiot, OP. I hope you learn more about medical and mental health disorders for the sake of your children. Or will you not be allowing "depression" on your watch? [/quote]

We're not talking about kids with psychological disorders, such as ARFID. We're talking about kids who are run-of-the-mill picky eaters. And I agree with PP. That is 99% parent induced. [/quote]

Actually, if these kids really only eat the items OP says they do, we absolutely are talking about kids with ARFID. They only eat a handful of items and are missing major food groups and important nutritional content. A doctor would absolutely diagnose them with ARFID.

But I suspect that OP is exaggerating about their pickiness and also that the kids are likely more picky when visiting family, making the situation seem more dire than it actually is. All the more reason for OP to just let it go, serve some peanut butter sandwiches along with whatever food she's putting out for adults, and move on with her life.[/quote]
