It isn't what it is, though. Your kids are only your own. No one else has to tolerate the nonsense that you encourage.

Ree-Xi felt some kinda way about it and shared the story with us. She's the one who decides how much she can tolerate. Not us.

Uh, so you agree with us. Got it.

Haha. I'm trying not to, but it's hard to side with the kid on this one.

My youngest son lives on Fruit Loops and skim milk for days sometimes but he still likes to get out of the house. It's just that cereal is not offered at many cookouts.

Those kids have complete control over their parents and they know it.

This bothers me out my nephew--my parents cater to his food pickiness way more than they did with either me or my sister. They make him seperate meals made all the time and he tries to pull that on others. A couple years ago, NephewCG once asked for scrambled eggs. Eggs were made. He pulls a face and says, "Eeeeewww YUCK!!" and tried to throw them on the floor. He got a 3-minute time out for trying to throw food and and a lecture for being rude. I was already pissed that morning so his lecture was very loud. He had the option to either eat the food or just eat the other stuff on the plate. If it's not enough to get full, don't complain at school, you had a chance to eat more (I think he chose to just eat the toast and fruit). He'll try me once in a while to see if I've budged, but we haven't had an episode like that since that day.
