[quote=Anonymous]In terms of saving your sanity, your DC is getting to be the age where they can make a PBJ sandwich on their own. So if they complain about dinner or anything else, the options of "make your own PBJ" is always available. I'm like you, I wasn't about to make a custom dinner for each person. If they didn't like dinner, they could make their own sandwich. Perhaps you could have a drawer of the usual favorites (yogurt, fruit, cheese) that she could also select from if she doesn't like dinner. If she complains - "Go look in the drawer." I realize this goes deeper than just "I don't like dinner even though I loved it last week" but maybe giving her some independence can take some burden off of you. Also, I think I saw that you said she is in the 50% range for weight. If your ped is not overly worried, then I think managing your own frustration is more of a priority at this point. [/quote]
