Picky Eaters: Night 3 of Mac & Cheese
Submitted by jillybeanmama
Before I had kids, I was so judgmental of parents who fed their kids "kid dinners" while they dined on well-balanced, healthy meals. How would the kids learn healthy eating habits like that? What a poor way of doing things!
Flash-forward six years and my three picky-eater kids rarely eat what I do. They are obsessed with mac & cheese, chicken fingers and pasta. And that's about it. On the nights when I do stand firm and make them eat the chicken or fish that I am eating, they just don't eat, and that makes me crazy.
So, we go back to mac & cheese. Again and again. I want my kids to eat healthy. They NEED to eat (duh!). But we can't continue like this. Or can we?
