[quote=Anonymous]I nanny for three year old twin boys. Generally they are awesome but when it comes to meal times they are picky picky eaters! They don't eat anything new and when new foods are out on their plate its an hourly struggle. Their mom has expressed to me how frustrating it is and that she would love to have them eating new things; for me to keep trying. These foods are nothing extravagant: rice, eggs, broccoli, spaghetti, etc. the problem is that I put in so much effort, I sit with them for hours at a time telling them they need to finish twir lunh before leaving the table. These hours are frustrating and filled with pouting crying and even occasional spitting. Any progress I make is completely regressed by their mom who will avoid any conflict at all costs. If it means she doesn't have to deal with them crying, she will take the easier option. She gets too stressed out. For example, one piece ofbroccoli in their dinner which I said they need to eat, she comes home and says "that's okay" when they tell her they don't want it. I'm so frustrated! I feel like I am wasting my time and efforts, and the kids end up seeing me as the bad guy I'm at a loss! Help![/quote]
