FoxyLoxy is the pickiest fucking eater ever.
the chicken nuggets that were delicious last week
have been declared disgusting
inedible.
My parents made grilled chicken the first week he kids were here and she wouldn't eat a bite of it - -which I assumed was because it still had meet texture
but apparently she's some sort of vegetarian that only eats breaded animals -- failing to bread animals and fry them in deep fat is inhumane
they wanted the popcorn chicken at the store - -and I didn't buy it because I figured it would go uneaten
well -because it's the other kinds of nuggets they were declared horrible
and FL ate only fries
I told her she needed to eat one nugget
and you would have thought that I was ruining her life.
she broke it into pieces and moved it around her plate
not a chance little one
she put it in her mouth and then spit it out
nice try
she whined that she can't put it back in her mouth -- that it was disgusting
here's a fresh one sweetie
she hid it under some fries
and finally
after chewing it up
then pretending that she was choking to spitting out a chewed up nugget on her plate
I declared dinner time over -- with the caveat that there are no snacks - and this was the last of the food before bed
and called it a night
before I got out the wire hangers
FL sounds just like my son in his younger years.
ReplyDeletePicky eater was an understatement.
Now he eats and loves asparagus. Go figure :)
As my mother used to say- they won't walk down the aisle in diapers and if they are hungry enough they will eat what you give them.
Yeah- wire hangers- I have a few of them left over.

oh yea...I long ago had to institute the rule that if they don't eat ALL their dinner, there won't be one single other thing going in their mouths except a toothbrush.
ReplyDeleteThe humane breading bit cracked me up--totally awesome.
It's pretty thankless cooking for kids huh?
ReplyDelete(Btw, my mom says that I was the pickiest eater ever, suggesting that I deserve what I get and more)

LOL...I was reading in my Evolutionary Psychology book that the reason children are such fussy eaters is that some food may actually be bad for children that isn't bad for adults and so its a natural instinct within them to avoid different foods. So don't stress it too much. I raised two extremely fussy eaters. I'm happy to report that now as adults they eat normal. There is hope....
ReplyDeleteMy oldest was a bread-a-tarian for 6 years. 'Scuze me, cheese and bread-atarian. He lived, and so will FL. You on the other hand... take a deep breath sweety, and buy her a bottle of vitamins. It will be okay.
ReplyDeleteCooking for kids is a hard art One of my girls was a vegetarian who did not like veg. The other likes only sprouts and red cabbige. Now they ok. I bet it's the first time the girls have a choice of food and not just take it or leave it.
ReplyDeleteI hope your boobs are ok after your punishmentt.
Hug Ashly xx

Ugh! *bangs head repeatedly against wall . . . So, food issues are fun, are they not? Overheard at my house this week:
ReplyDeleteI don't eat sandwiches. (What?!?)
I like strawberries, just not THOSE strawberries. (um, ok)
I don't like that type of sliced turkey breast. (the same type I buy each week)
"Breaded animals" cracked me up, by the way :)
Hope dinner time tonight is stress-free!

Do What?!?! Breaded and fried isn't really a food group of it's own?!?! Holy crap! Somebody needs to come to the deep south and tell all these people around here. :)

Thinking of this post kept me from freaking out last night.
ReplyDeleteMy son spent 45 minutes eating 4 pieces of penne (sauceless..because he doesnt like sauce. not that he liked penne without it, mind you!).
Yes. With histrionics, throat grabbing (CAN"T SWALLOW THESE---THINGS MOM!), etcetera until I was ready to explode my brains out my ears. 45 fucking minutes.
What finally worked? If he ate them before the timer went off (3 minutes) he could watch tv.
They went down (I watched) in 1 minute and 12 seconds)
geezus fucking hell.
Sometimes it takes forever to find the right fucking carrot...

@all --
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind so much except that these girls are undernourished -- and I'm most likely going to have to give up the fight and buy some ensure or something
I wonder if I can get them to choke it down by convincing them that I don't want them to eat it for a few weeks and then finally relenting by telling them
FINE - YOU CAN HAVE ONE!
