One of my kids says...Yeah, I get that all the time. One of my kids says, "I hate such and such." And I say, "But you've never ever eaten it; how can you hate it." I'm not sure why I even bother the whole using reason tack.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05256112748291670773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607007096922060383.post-47298574255056791762012-04-09T16:00:09.878-07:002012-04-09T16:00:09.878-07:00First, I found your blog while doing some blog hop...First, I found your blog while doing some blog hopping and I've already, literally, laughed out loud several times :)<br /><br />And OMG I have the same issue with my husbands daughter. I've tried EVERYTHING to get her to eat.<br /><br />The other night I made pizza. Pizza. Know what she told me? "I don't like pizza". Even though she's eaten pizza about a million times in her short life. But because it was homemade, she wouldn't touch it. Same thing with meatloaf I made a couple of nights later. I told her "its like a hamburger without the bread" but still, no dice. Hubby and I have kind of given up the food battle with her. I cook the meal, and because I'm cooking for 4 other people and not just her, if she chooses not to eat, so be it. I sometimes feel guilty when she doesn't eat, but if she had her way, she would have candy and chips 100% of the time.<br /><br />I also love the "Have you ever tried it?" Her: "no" me:"Then how do you know you don't like it?" Her: (shoulder shrug)<br /><br />Kids kill me.Jenn Shttp://www.fishingthesoutheast.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607007096922060383.post-28913724463169038012012-04-05T19:41:19.634-07:002012-04-05T19:41:19.634-07:00Oh boy.

Allow him his right to choose. And then someday let his wife take over. ;)NessaAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235410716507259118noreply@blogger.com
