[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're picky-food European grandma, right? Refusal to coddle step grandson's picky eating habits? Heavy emphasis on "step?"

My DS11 explained to me that the reason kids are picky eaters is because their taste buds and senses are "new" and many flavors, smells, and textures are overwhelming to the young.   He said (paraphrase) that when he starts dulling his taste buds with age, coffee, and red wine that he, too, may enjoy the deliciousness of olives and smelly cheese. [/quote]

You're being mansplained to by your own minor son? Dumb...anyway, I wonder how picky children were during the two world wars. Stop coddling your kids and explain about proper nutrition.[/quote]
You do you but don’t tell other people how to parent. I, for one, will never make food a control issue. I will never be a member of the clean plate club. It’s not worth forcing my kids to eat something. My kids were normal picky until around 10-13 and now eat a huge variety and will try most anything once. Obviously this is a huge control issue for you. [/quote]
