[QUOTE="llamafarm, post: 512814, member: 14085"] Yes the food issues can make you pull out your hair! difficult child has gone through some miserable meal/food issues in the past year or two. He also seems constantly hungry, but his constant hunger often comes from his not knowing what to do next. He paces and paces and finally comes up with the idea that he is hungry. He is more than capable getting his own food, thank goodness, but for a while all he would fill himself with was peanut butter, jelly and honey on various things. He didn't clean up either and he always got p.b. on [I]everything[/I]! OOOhhh that drove me nuts. I started leaving the area when he started eating because it irked me so... and I realized the food was something I needed to let go. He also go through the gooey stuff stage. I also don't have it around and within reach for him. He has always had trouble eating at dinner and then he would eat like a madman at snack (7:30) He would eat everything he didn't eat at dinner plus some. Often times this has to do with rebound effect of his medications. We found that he never ate much with the concerta in his system. He was/is very little so we let him eat when he is hungry, but he is expected to at least sit at dinner (for a while he was required to sit for ten minutes). That may work for some, but not others of course. We always eat at 5:30. It has always been that way. Anyhow, as I said, food can make you crazy. Especially when you are the one serving them. No mother needs to be a short order cook! Ktlc, I feel your pain! [/QUOTE]
