[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 331854, member: 4264"] Nope, wouldn't happen here. Or if it did, it wouldn't again. My kids aren't picky but there are things s/o and I like that the kids don't. Things we all like but easy child doesn't. Or difficult child doesn't. Heck, I'll cook something they like that i would never touch. In those situations, I know ahead that so and so won't eat it. i always have a alternative to offer that the person who won't eat what I made, can have. It isn't negotiable. Example: difficult child can't stand lasagna. Rest of us love it. Decide to make it. Night before, I make something we all like, including difficult child. I make an extra meals worth and put it on a plate in the fridge. Next day I make lasagna. I serve difficult child his plate from night before in place of our lasagna. Period. On the rare occassion it is a spontaneous choice to make something someone won't like, and I haven't got an extra meal to supplement someone with, the choice is limited. I will offer: canned pasta (alphagetti or ravioli), grilled cheese sandwiches, boxed mac and cheese, canned soup, microwaved weiners. Something they will eat that I can easily make without effort additional to my meal. There is no "I don't want that though". They use that excuse up by getting out of what I was making in the first place. I don't run any restaurant, the day I do, I want the chef salary!! [/QUOTE]
