[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, just live and let live. If you want to serve your kids different food than what you’re eating, go for it. I don’t get why you feel the need to say it’s “better” or make some broad pronouncements about kid food preferences and how they learn to eat (there’s a great book called First Bite: How We Learn to Eat about this, and it contradicts what you’re saying).

Every family is different, every kid is different, every parent is different. It’s important to me that my kids can be full participants in family meals and that they enjoy eating a wide variety of foods. I really don’t care if you feel otherwise until you tell me your way is better. It’s just smug and annoying.

PP with the $3000 dollars of feeding therapy behind me (and counting). Yea, all families are different. It was important to me that my child didn’t end up on a feeding tube. I would literally give up a kidney to have my child enjoy a wide at of food and be comfortable in any social setting. You seriously don’t know how lucky you are for that to be an option for you.

I’m sorry for what you’ve been through. I do have some exposure to serious feeding challenges through family members, so yes, I do know how fortunate we are.. I don’t know how you read this as criticizing people who are experiencing serious issues like you are. My whole point is that everyone is doing the best they can and what works for them and that looks different for different families. OP came in here saying the way they feed their family is “better” than what other people do and that’s what rubbed me the wrong way.[/quote]

Wow can you really not understand how blathering on about how the big difference between you and the parents of people who struggle with this is because it’s IMPORTANT to you is not super tone deaf? Do you also interrupt conversations between women who are having infertility struggles and miscarriages to inform them how important it was to you to naturally conceive 7 children? Good grief. I feel terrible for anyone you talk to in real life who has struggles with feeding challenges. Get a clue. [/quote]

NP maybe you are being defensive? Most kids don’t have such serious food issues as yours, their parents are simply lazy and willing to feed them chix nuggets every night.[/quote]
