Off topic…

What antics does your child get up to when s/he does not want to eat something that they have been served?

  1. Leave it untouched.
  2. Whine and fuss big time about why they have to eat it.
  3. Make up excuses – like I am having a stomach ache or I am too full or I need to go poo-poo or why they should not be eating it because their stomach is allergic to it or it is too 'foul' for them to consume let alone look at it??
  4. Silently dump it into the rubbish bin when you are not looking?
  5. Silently dump it into the loo (but forget to flush or doesn't get flushed properly)!!
  6. Silently dump it into the vase next to the dining table and leaving it there for weeks, leaving the adults guessing the whereabouts of the foul smell or wondering why is there is always a trail of ants leading to the vase?
  7. The penultimate...actually getting caught in the act doing any of the above 3 to 6?????

Actually I wish they would just leave at no. 1. At least this way you will not encounter unnecessary surprises, cleaning or emotional distress. Also the food will not be wasted, after all there are many who still go hungry. Children these days are just too pampered and wasteful!!

My girl usually will give it a try, just a little nibble, then she'll either leave it or finish it, very adventures & obvious type ;p

My little girl would just refuse to try, if the item were new! I try to stick to the 'safe food menu' so, that becomes a challenge everyday!

Kel & Pat - guess i have a more 'sneaky' one huh? *really drive me nuts sometimes*

Pat, hopefully that 'safe food menu' is extensive.

Wish my son learns to eats his fruits rather than making them dissapear in places other than his tummy!

My little girl eats a variety of meats, veggies and fruits. Only thing is, it's got to be cooked in the same manner all the time!
