I'm not of a mindset to make 2 meals but what I do make I ensure that it's something i know my daughter eats. If it's something new she knows she has to try it before she can say she doesn't like it but some days I can make all her favorites and she won't eat. I can't force feed her so she knows her food is there, if you're hungry that's what we have and she will eventually eat. That being said kids go through stages and sometimes they don't want anything. If she won't eat good no matter what she's allowed to have fruit/cheese/yogurts and a Pediasure shake if it gets really extreme. While you likely did not mean it to sound so your post comes kind of rude as if all parents have a guaranteed path so their child won't be picky, some kids are picky eaters, some kids are autistic and that plays into it, some just don't like the flavor of the food (kids have tastes too) and sometimes they're just being stubborn but as long as the child is being fed in a healthy manner to each their own. The above case as you said is extreme but I won't fault any parent for feeding their child in the way that works for their family as long as the child is healthy.

@niyomi1244, there’s nothing rosemom has ever said that pertains to me to get under my skin. What she does do is continuously post rude, ignorant posts and belittles women in general. She has a right to post and I have the same right to comment. When you say dumb shit like “ I have no sympathy for someone who is in a domestic abusive relationship, they must like it” you get called out. When you continuously make posts judging you get called out. 🤷🏽‍♀️. If I look like a clown, baby is the entire circus.

I think there’s different forms of picky eaters. I have a picky eater in a sense of he has sensory issues and sometimes he won’t even eat things I know for a fact he loves all because he just doesn’t like the texture of it that day. Of course some times there’s ways I can help him and he will eat it but my picky eater is a texture thing. My bfs older son now on the other hand...that’s a form of picky eater I can’t handle. He refuses to eat ANYTHING but chips because he’s “not hungry” but he will sit and eat a bag of chips right after claiming he’s not hungry and doesn’t want to eat. We offer him something we’ve made and dad has confirmed to me that he likes it and then he doesn’t eat it. Then goes and asks for McDonald’s or something. So I think there’s different kinds of picky eaters and some are justifiable and some are not. I can see how people say you came off as “rude” but it’s easy to take text out of context so I won’t comment on that lol

@sistersmainpiece wait it wasn't joking!? Oh Lord I'm confused

I won't make a separate meal, but I also cook stuff I know my family likes.
There are things that I won't eat, kids are the same way. Sometimes that changes with age. I used to not eat eggs and at 19 I decided I loved hard boiled eggs. I will not drink milk, never have 🤷🏽‍♀️
Sometimes it's a texture thing, sometimes it's them not liking the taste.
Other times a kid only wants to eat junk and it needs to end (in my home) my brother used to only eat cheese quesadillas that my dad would bring home from work until my mom finally told him that he would eat what was cooked or wasn't eating. He tried being stubborn about it until he realized my dad was done buying him a freaking cheese quesadilla daily and ate with everyone else. (this is an example of someone just being difficult because they can btw, not because they don't like other foods)
Do what works for your family and don't even worry about others unless you plan to go cook for their family is my mindset lol.

Rosemom doesn’t have taste buds and eats only healthy foods. Sooo of course judgmental Judy expects everyone to do as she does. 🙄🙄🙄🙄. “I have never”. Girl you been a mom for 6 second. Jump off the high horse.

Well sometimes u can't help it. My sons have autism so I can't make them eat what they don't want too.
