It's not as bad as some things we could *insist* they eat rather than cocoa krispies and hamburger helper! Incidentally, I'm not a fan of hamburger helper but my daughters love, love, love it!!! LOL @Belinda–That’s my same philosophy! It’s not as bad as some things we could *insist* they eat rather than cocoa krispies and hamburger helper!

I am now 37 and still refuse to eat or for that matter even have them in my house. Now my daughter who is 14 now refuses (or at least tries to refuse) to eat hambuger helper. I do usually try to prepare meals a little better than hambuger helper, but come-on not many people dislike the stuff. And when you work 10-12 hrs and come home or just wake up cause your on midnight shift it is a quick fix. I do infact make her eat it because I do not think it will kill her, and I know it cannot be as bad as rutabagas!! I believe she is saying in her mind "Will this nightmare ever end?" lol.

You should be proud that you knew earlier than I did that the food battles aren't worth it! (Sorry for my delayed response - you were approved for comments but I found two of your comments in my spam folder?!) :) Karen–We all do the best we can with what we have and it’s all anyone should expect of us!

Note: I didn't say Blackened--which is entirely different. :) Kerri,

Everything was "yucky". My attitude was changed by a very cute book called "Spaghetti for Frances". I'm not sure if it's even in publication any more as this was a long, long time ago! It was about a little badger who would only eat peanut butter and jelly until the day her parents convinced her to try one bite of spaghetti - from that point on she loved (or at least tried) everything. To this day, that philosophy sticks with me. I will try anything ONCE. Sherra,

My son at age 3 survived an entire year on Toast 'Ems, vienna sausages, and green beans. My mom (who forced me to eat everything on my plate - sometimes I was there until bedtime - don't mention those little green peas to me!) was horrified that I let my son eat those things and didn't force him to eat "healthy". Maybe this post will allow me to get over my shame! I can finally confess! My son at age 3 survived an entire year on Toast ‘Ems, vienna sausages, and green beans.

Yes, we have been there too. I seem to blog far too much about my children and the hilarious things they too have said. Some, have become funny family sayings. Some... have stuck for the good, others have stuck at the chagrin of my children. So... I guess what I am trying to say... is our children survive their parents... one way or the other. Here is one example of my almost 18 year old who takes things with a grain of salt when it comes to her mom blogging about her!!! Thanks for sharing your life a little so we can all rally as moms! http://becausemomsaidso.blogspot.com/2007/12/glass-in-your-eyes-and-more.html Oh Sherra,

These are some great stories. We don't do much force feeding over here either cause I was force fed also as a young'un. I was so thin, I know you don't believe that to see me now, but I blame my mother for making me this way by making me learn to eat cheese! It's just added calories and pounds to my hips! I have one child that won't eat anything but chicken. She refuses to eat steak and we all just think that's weird cause we are BIG steak eaters at our house. We probably eat them every week. I KNOW that's not a very healthy diet but can't seem to convince my hubby to eat more fish. Of course it didn't help when one of the cousins pointed out to my daughter that hamburgers were made of beef also. NOW she won't eat those either. I get really tired of going to Chick Fil A. Other daughter doesn't eat hot dogs or seafood. Now what kid doesn't eat hot dogs?? She did eat them when she was smaller but got sick once and ever since she threw one up, she refuses to eat them anymore! PB & J is a choice but my children do prefer meat - ham for one, turkey for the other. Lord, save me! Rolling on the floor laughing over here. These are some great stories.
