[QUOTE="4sumrzn, post: 124667, member: 4133"] We were just talking about this tonight!!! Both of my kids are terrible eaters (guess that means we are too:pouting:)....difficult child is just plain "stuck" on certain things & only those will work for her, but the girl CAN EAT!!!!! She has been on a little bit of a food strike lately because of a medication change (I think??). easy child wants to eat, eat, eat....but CONSTANTLY.....can you stop by Taco Bell, Wendy's, McD's, can we go get wings....eat, eat, eat & ALL the WRONG stuff. He even txt me from the bus yesterday asking if I could bake a pizza for him! What!?!? The boy stuffs 3 pieces of bread down his throat while he's grabbing his snack. I guess it's my fault for having the snacks in the house (I babysit & snack time is precious to the little ones). I can't tell you the last time I bought soft drinks...we rarely have juice....lots of water. We do order out more than we should during sports. THAT has made easy child a maniac when he even gets a chance to order a Coke, fast food or go out to eat....he thinks it's the best thing he's ever tasted. The boy acts like he hasn't eaten in weeks....sad face & pretty please, the "why nots" come out. CRAZY. I bet when he stays at a friend's house they think there's something wrong because I KNOW he flips over soft drinks. I know I rambled on...sorry. I guess it's mainly because we JUST talked about this. I suppose I need to be more concerned with the eating issues in my home, but would have to figure out who to start with....LOL! ME....former anorexic.....now need to lose quite a few pounds....binge/emotional eater. husband....can eat whatever the **** he wants & only takes a few days get rid of it (if ya know what I mean) easy child.....skinny as can be, very athletic, eats like crapola, "looks" healthy, "acts" healthy. He's 13...husband claims he ate 2-3 PB&J's every day after school(wonder where my kids get that from:raspberry-tounge:) difficult child.....like I said...used to eat everything she could get her hands on & would sneak food (even out of the trash!YUCK!). We'll see if she goes back to that. So, with the book I wrote...I am so very sorry. Just got finished a bit ago with the same conversation with husband & you got me:happy:. The only thing I can suggest is maybe if you made the "condition" about the popcorn being that she could NOT make it, don't let her make it & the apple would have to work....if you're hungry, you'll eat it. If you feel you can nudge....go for it. Maybe you can give me some pointers for mine because obviously after my huge reply here....after I read it back...I'll realize I'll need it! LOL. [/QUOTE]
