[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 477304, member: 1514"] Im hoping you will find this funny and not get mad at me. This post struck my funny bone because last Thanksgiving my daughter in law informed me they were coming to my house and that I had better have chicken nuggets and cheese puffs for my granddaughter Hailie to eat because that is what she wanted to eat right now. I told her I will be damned. See...just a few months before this "demand" I was chastised royally because I ate some of Queen Hailie's private supply of cheese puffs when I was left at their house without any food to eat for hours on end. Also Hailie is not autistic and will eat normal foods with absolutely no issues if her mother is not around to coddle the little brat. My daughter in law has turned that child into a terror. In your case with a child who has true food issues, I wouldnt care if you bought special food for him. My issue was with my daughter in law. I can completely understand you wanting to make sure your son has food to eat. I have no idea if you are going to only give him chicken nuggets and hotdogs the entire time or if he will attempt to have some of the Turkey day dinner. Maybe there is something in that meal that he likes. Corn, mashed taters, rolls, stuffing. Maybe even a piece of turkey. I dont know. Even if putting his hotdog in a dinner roll makes him happy and able to sit at the table its worth it. Sure sounds like Turkey day will be tough if her kids cant eat carbs though. Guess that means no pumpkin pie? [/QUOTE]
