Maxdon: Freedom of Speech Is Overrated

Sunday, April 02, 2006

Phrases I'd like banned from our household, especially the dinner table:

"No like it."
"No like it, mama."
"I no like it."
"Cookies?"

He has poor eating habits and loves
the cookies and candies. Vegetables and fruit are not meant
to be eaten. REJ

The problem is she won't eat soups, sauces, sandwiches, casseroles, meat, etc. So, I'll cook up a big meal, and she won't eat any of it. She wants plain vegetables, plain tofu, plain fruit, plain rice, plain cookies. I guess I should be happy - less cooking for me, but the wasted efforts frustrate me.

I was in college before discovering the joy of cheese and steak. and grad school before discovering sushi!!

But I did discover them and boy am I happier for it! She will pick stuff up, all you can do is keep offering and letting her know she has options.

Good luck!

JMF - Oh, you always agree with NCD. Too bad she's usually right.
