GOBBLE GOBBLE
 
Does anyone else sometimes just tell their kid whats for tea ,even if its not in their top 5 fave meals and if they say they dont want it tell them tough its whats in and crack on?
Because I do,a- becuase Im not made of
money and cant pander to every specific desire ,b-because ive got several kids and maybe I just havent got the energy to be cooking several different meals that day and c-because its prob good for them and its my responsibility to make sure my child has a balanced diet.
Why does she give Harper so much leway with her meals? Yes cook what she likes to an extent but kids need to learn that you cant have something that you love everyday and sometimes you gotta just eat whats there.Thats what its like for most adults in the real world

I’m the same as you, if I have one of mine a choice what to eat, it would be sausages every night. She did go through a phase of asking for a picky plate, that she usually got on a Friday night if we had a spicy curry… but that’s one night a week. Every other night we will decide together and come up with macaroni, cottage pie, spag bol etc or I decide 🤣 no chance would my kid ask for tiger bread and cheese

she needs to start cooking her some
new dishes and telling her thats whats for tea,try it ,you might like it .Doesnt have to be fancy.You can tell Aimless has never bothered to cook even the basics for her
 
She went through a phase of discovering harper liked ‘new’ stuff that she has tried at her dads/grandparents like pork chops, battered fish, green smoothies etc but none of those have ever made a reappearance

Also harper likes steak, but that only gets served when there is a 🍆 round for tea

Honestly she is such a drain. Always moaning, always ‘it’s ok not to be ok, feel your feelings’ blah blah, yeah, most of us do that whilst also holding down a 9-5, managing house/kid etc, her busiest day is popping to Liverpool to buy more shite, or god forbid doing a food shop
