The point in saying this is?...:shrug:
I let my daughter eat whatever she wants..pizza, hamburgers, chips, chocolate..for breakfast, lunch, dinner..and I dare you to tell me that she will eat if I do not give her what she wants...for 3 years she had a feeding tube and for 2 and a half years she would only use the feeding tube and nothing by mouth..so once we got her to eat by mouth we did not care what it was as long as she ate and gained weight on it and we finally got rid of the feeding tube...
So, if for the rest of her life she eats pizza and chicken nuggets so be it..and if we would try to get her to eat something else and she does not want to well you know what..I will make or go out and get her what she wants...happily!
Oh, and I discipline her..if she is sassy or does not share she is appropriately disciplined..but never for her food choices..we came way too far for that..
Until you are a parent you really should not try to act like you know how to parent..:wave:
I disagree that they will eat it if it is put in front of them enough times..My teacher in 3rd grade would put green beans in front of me every day and make me miss recess because I would not eat them..to this day I will not eat them..Well, I guess your situation is kind of an exception! You had a hard run and as a result you have no "drive" (don't know if that's the right word) to force you child to eat different foods. That's fine... that's your situation! But for the most part... most children will eat different foods if they are exposed to them and the parents don't give into what the child wants. A child is only going to be able to eat what's put in front of them... until they get old enough to turn on the stove themselves. And if broccoli is put in front of them enough times they will eat it.
Yes, I am a parent... and my children do eat healthy and do try new foods. I take pride in this... I know it's because in our house we try new foods and eat healthy foods regularly! We have set the example for them! Have they had picky days? Yes! Have they had days where they refused food? Yes! But I don't give in... the same food will show up on their plate another day... and eventually they end up eating it!
Parenting is hard work and how you choose to feed your children is your personal decision. Nobody should look down on the way you feed your children or what you feed your children... but I still agree with Gorjus that children will eat healthy or different foods eventually if you don't give into their "wants"!
I think that people should allow their children to eat whatever they want..:shrug: regardless of the circumstance.
Why? unless it is one where they are allergic to it or something then of course they should not be allowed..but I personally think they should be able to eat what they want..my opinion..I find it hard to believe you actually mean that. I almost fell down laughing when I read it so i'm sure it must be a joke. And a very funny one at that.

I also did not understand the whole point of Gorjus saying what she said in this thread when it had no relevence to the topic...and she is not a parent and really has no right in saying how people should raise their children.

WOW!
This thread is starting to look like...that...OTHER...board...

Thought this was to list Must try foods in WDW!
NOT our differing opinions on how to raise our kids!
If you are comfortable with the foods that your child will eat then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, whether it be healthy choices or not.
(In all honesty.... I don't remember too many healthy foods in WDW anyway!) :hammer:
