Who is Val trying to kid.....
I'm beyond baffled by this "introducing fruit into desserts for the first time for my 36 year old!?"
AT age 36... Now you're going to " try" to incorporate fruit into cake ... Uhm..its still CAKE! And then adding spray coolwhip!? Why???
As parents I'm sure MANY of us have had a fussy eater or 5! It's not uncommon for most children to have very finicky pallets starting young...with autistic children this can be quite severe...I've seen 6,7,9 year old autistic children profusely gag at the smell or first taste of a food...to the point of hospitalization ...it can be extremely severe.
Jessica is not that severe.... She is just spoiled and been catered to her entire life...bribed with chocolate cake daily!
So...that being said ...I have 4 children 2 were good eaters 2 were not. One of those being nonverbal autistic... It was always a challenge when it came to food, between a few allergies, texture issues and stubbornness my daughter was underweight till puberty.
We worked with a dietician, and therapists that helped our daughter cope with new food, textures, patience etc.... And I learned how to cook...really cook.. Well enough that I could HIDE fruits, vegetables and greens into other foods where she wouldn't notice it...but she still got them in. Also used a juicer, made smoothies, made "CUPCAKES" which were really muffins with eggwhites, applesauce, almond flour, blended berries... And she loved them ( as long she didnt see me put certain fruits in it)
These are just a couple things I did many blending of veggies to add to spaghetti sauces, smoothies, even meatloaf.
I started doing this with help when my daughter was 3. Today at 26...she runs the blender, the juicer helps me make dinners and eats well. Yes we still have some issues... No she doesn't get dessert if she doesn't eat her dinner...I try to add something " new" one day a week...sometimes it's simply a potato..but cooked differently ( she hates mashed potatoes but eats fries, roasted, or baked)
I'm not mother of the year by any means.... I think this is just normal actions any parent would do with a fussy eater....mild or severe, autistic or not.
So...watching Val try to get sympathy and " you have so much patience etc.. " comments from these idiots is insane. Don't these followers of hers wonder why she didn't work on Jessica's eating YEARS ago...decades ago!?
Val... Is only doing it now for content. Anything she does on cam...never lasts, she's not consistant... Once we see it on cam....it doesn't continue off camera...Jessica has proven that by her lack of being able to do anything!
Lastly... Exactly how many servings of cake is acceptable before it's NOT HEALTHY!?!!
The first piece of cake she served Jessica was 2 servings then she said she could have more!

If Hannah and Marlo are going camping that means Mother of the year will be on her own dealing with Jessica...
She's barely hanging on now ...this could be her breaking point!
