Everyday I bitch and complain that I feel like a short order cook at dinner time because I make the main meal for Rob and I and then I make something special for Dear Jackie Boy, which ends up being one of the following: chicken nuggets, pasta, pizza bagels, cheese sticks, grilled cheese.
Isn't that quite a variety??? Well I made my typical comment to Rob about busting my ass making this lovely dinner and now I have to serve Jack something else. So Rob responds with, "Hun, you say that every damn night, do something about it". I then I responded with, "Aren't you a parent, can't you deal with this?" Rob goes off and tells Jack, "listen, the new rule is, whatever we eat, you eat or else you go to bed hungry".
Let me stop for a minute and tell you what we were making Jack try for tonight....Chili- hot spicy Chili. What a food to start with!! All I could think of was the amount of hot sauce I dumped into the pot and how maybe I should of not had Rob put his foot down tonight and maybe wait until tomorrow night.
Well people, the kid freakin' liked it!!!! I could not believe my eyes. He tried it and did not even throw himself on the floor saying his stomach was killing him.
I like this whole "Put your foot down thing". Why did I not try it years ago??? Nolan, watch out....you will be eating everything we eat. We will not make this mistake again, I promise!

That's great! When we go out for Mexican Food Sara loves the Salsa no matter how spicey.
So fummy. I love it. Good that you are breaking the cycle. I have a 5 year old nephew who only eats hot dogs, chicken nuggets, or pizza. I want to tell his mother to stop the insanity she dosn't have to cook him his own meal every night. On the other hand one of my nieces loves hot sauce and hot wings.
You are DEFINITELY doing the right thing.
Way to go!!! You are breaking the generational issue ;-)
Wish this would work for us. John just sat on the floor and cried hysterically last time we tried. He only eats mac n' cheese, chicken nuggets, french fries/tater tots, toast, waffles, bacon, apples and apple sauce. Sometimes I break down and let him eat cereal for dinner. I get so tired of thinking of what I should fix him each meal.
