[QUOTE="donna723, post: 693256, member: 1883"] I agree 100% with GoingNorth! This is a power struggle. No teenager alive hated all those foods and refuses to eat them! They know how to hit you where it hurts, trashing your confidence and self esteem in the process. Makes you feel like YOU are failing them, like your best efforts seem like they're not good enough! And the more they can weaken you, the more that puts THEM in charge! Food is not the real issue here, it's a symptom. It won't be easy but you simply MUST regain your authority as the parent and get these two back to being the kids! YOU are the parent! YOU support their ungrateful entitled little butts and YOU pay the bills! YOU are the one who gets to make the decisions, not them! Don't cater to them! Again, if it were me, I'd fix a decent healthy dinner every night and they can eat it or not! If you can afford it, maybe fast food one night a week but certainly not every night! [/QUOTE]
