[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big mistake to do this OP. Picky eaters are made, not born. Do not become a short order cook for your kids. [/quote]

Only believed by a parent who did not actually have a picky child...[/quote]

I'm a picky adult and was born this way. I was never indulged by my parents at dinner. I had to choke down what everyone else was eating. That often meant I was stuck sitting at the dinner table while everyone else had finished and left the kitchen. It meant I cried most nights. It meant I dreaded dinner. It meant I didn't eat fish as an adult for two decades because my mother INSISTED on adding lemon which I hate to fish, making me think I hated fish, until I woke up in my 40's and realized I could make it without lemon. My brother and I were served the same foods, on the same types of plates, in the same kitchen. He likes all kinds of foods, of all different levels of spiciness. My mouth and lips burns for 2-3 days if I eat eggs with a bit of pepper sprinkled in and am completely grossed out by the idea of sushi. It's just how I came out of the womb. [/quote]
