[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 354112, member: 6705"] Lisa... I wish my kids were like this. But they go so used to a lot of ramen noodles, junk food... That when we packed lunches, a lot of it got THROWN AWAY. I wouldn't know except one of the teachers went to the trouble of emailing me (finding out my email, then actually sending the thing) and asking if I was aware that Jett was throwing away most of his lunch. I asked her what... He would eat the sandwich - SOMETIMES - and chips/goldfish crackers, drink the capri sun, but throw out the applesauce or pudding (!!!), celery/carrots/grapes/apple... He didn't even try to trade. He later told me he didn't like my bread... This is the same wheat bread he had always had at home... And did not explain the other stuff. So I carefully asked him and Onyxx about BM's meals. Oh my. She loved to make pot roast, but Onyxx said (point blank which was amusing) that mine was better 'cause it wasn't greasy. Bulgogi and egg rolls. OK, so far, reasonable... BUT. Snacks for kids: processed cheese, chips (potato, dorito, cheeto, frito - all the o's), peanut butter and fluff, cocoa krispies and fruity pebbles. CANDY. Dinner included a lot of mac 'n' cheese, wienies, canned spaghetti (UGH). Then I got a GREAT story from Onyxx about going to the grocery store with BM, and Jett [I]begging[/I] her to buy brussels sprouts "cause we had them at Daddy's and they're GOOD!" (LMBO!!!!!) Last fall I made homemade spiced applesauce. Jett's not terribly interested, but Onyxx LOVES it. Good thing, too, because I can't stand applesauce any more... Made too much. I was thinking about this and I remembered when BM submitted 80+ pages of receipts saying we agreed to pay 50% (technically in a way true - we paid for what the kids had at our home, [I]including clothing[/I], and a lot of school stuff) - this included, and I kid you not, a hotel room, prophylactics, Victoria's Secret, and thousands of dollars' worth of groceries. These groceries? One that I will never forget had our part circled - 25 bags of assorted chocolate candy, 10 bags of cheetos, doritos, etc., and 8 cases of pop. For a birthday party. In June. Onyxx's birthday is in March, Jett's is in August. Never did figure that one out, considering the kids had no idea when we asked - this was about a month later. So anyway... Fact is, kids DO like what they are used to. Jett makes a lot of peanut butter and american cheese sandwiches and eats a lot of dry ramen. (UGH!!!!!) [/QUOTE]
