[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, OP. This is so sad. Another reason not to let your kids grow up to be picky eaters.

Why don't you just try telling them that this is dinner, this is where we're going, and it will be a wonderful family dinner? It's time to get past your current mindset.[/quote]

Not letting your kids be picky eaters is like not letting your kids be short..  I would not want my families Christmas to include sulky hungry kids who just ate bread for dinner..[/quote]

Absolutely not. What OP describes is the result of letting bad habits get out of hand.[/quote]

Or it becomes a power struggle that isn't worth it. My brother was the pickiest eater EVER.  The battles over his eating were epic.  He remained a picky eater until he went away to college.  For what ever reason when he left the battle field of our family home he started trying new things and as an adult is a totally reasonable eater.  He is also 6'2 and was an athlete throughout.

But back to the original question, I agree that fondue sounds like a fun tradition to start. [/quote]
