Mmm… Daddy, you make such good spaghetti!
I WANT SOMETHING ELSE!!!
Impressive amount of veggies on that plate. Kudos.
I’ll take the kudos, but I should point out that there were pretty much the same amount of veggies on the plate when I cleared the table after dinner. 🙂
Awww! He looks so sad 😦
It was crazy how sad he was. You may notice he doesn’t actually have any spaghetti in front of him. That’s because he insisted I take the plate away. He didn’t even want to be near it.
That is hilarious. How did you ruin him? (Because clearly a child who doesn’t love spaghetti has suffered at the hands of his parents.)
Too funny! We have the same problem here sometimes 🙂
Hey, one out of two ain’t bad 😀
typical! haha, thats the thing about dinner, it rolls around every night….they cant all be winners 😉
So what did Bennett eat for supper? I agree with others, win some, lose some.
I finally made him a peanut butter sandwich. Actually, two half sandwiches. He’s very particular in how he likes it served. 🙂
This too shall pass…our children come home now and eat everything (it’s free and they didn’t have to prepare it). Of course they know the rules…you don’t like it make something yourself! Your guys might be a titch young for that!
Good news — maybe now that people see we actually feed our kids decent food and eat at places other than Carvel and Dunkin’ Donuts, the internet trolls will stop judging you! (But I doubt it.)
And by I doubt it, I mean — HAHAHAHAHAA. Yeah, that’s not happening.
We made pasta with fresh sauce for our kids, we hand made our Mac -n-cheese too.. it wasn’t until they ate at the neighbors house one day ant ingested Kraft easy Mac in the box, that they ranted about the delicious cuisine next door & complained about our menu….
great post! Keep up the good work!
HAhahahahaha!
I don’t know what it is about children and boxed food. I find it completely gross.
My dad used to refuse me that stuff, and I was ANNOYED. Now, my tastebuds and I thank him.
oops was suppose to say AND ingested not ANT….lol
You had me at “I made this spaghetti for you.” Sounds like little man is ready to make dinner for himself. That will cure all sadness.
I’ve been on the other side of the river, mate. My, is it stormy.
This is clearly a case of me being bitten by karma. I was the worst eater as a kid. We had a policy in our house of “If you don’t like what I cooked, make something for yourself” and I ate a peanut butter sandwich nearly every night.
If I didn’t eat my mother would give me a soliloquy of: ‘Do you know how many children are starving in this world?”…..In which I responded with : “Name One”.
By the way Peanut butter is good for you…..and easy when you have to pack lunches….I never had that luxury because my daughter was allergic to peanuts…
I actually feel guilty to throw food out of the house. Let it pester in the fridge for days to come! But my mother doesn’t look happy either way.
Gee, I am so lucky. 100% of my kids (i.e. one little monster for now) tend to like my cooking. Veggies and all.
Of course, sometimes his taste changes and we have to figure out together what his new fancies are. But in general I have to say that if everything about raising him was as easy as feeding him I would be the happiest mother in the world.
Good luck on your cooking, and don’t despair, there is just no pleasing some but I’m sure it will get better.
also…I cut down on taking them to great restaurants……..it spoils their taste buds for my cooking……..
