Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

because my kids are picky eaters and I really need them to eat they end up with bell and evans chicken nuggets and those alexa roasted potatoes plus some vegetable at least 4 meals a week . How bad is that? I already don't feel good about it but really how bad?

i'm with you. I do a lot of fried rice with egg, cheese ravioli, miso soup, shumai (with shrimp but not visible : )-- it is exhausting, isn't it?
[ Reply | More ]I would be thrilled if they would eat cheese ravioli. closest we come is grilled cheese
[ Reply | More ]how many people have told you that if you just offered them more kinds of food they would eat it? makes me crazy
[ Reply | More ]this is not at all meant in a snarky manner, but i don't suggest people offer more types of food when asked: instead i tell them to NOT offer the "bad" foods, like nuggets and pizza. the kids will eventually eat the rest when the quick stuff isn't available.
[ Reply | More ]I hear you but not all baked chicken nuggets (or fish sticks or quorn patties) are junk. DiFara's pizza rocks as does Franny's. Not all kids are the same and not all will be adventurous. A recent NYT article stated that genetics may be behind the "picky eater". As someone who will try almost any food, and always has a variety of food available, I think they are on to something.
[ Reply | More ]i give my dd the B&E gluten free nuggets sometimes and they really are very good. i meant "bad" as in anything you as a parent might want to serve less often. i think it's all a balance. as long as they get some veggies, some fruit and over the course of a week some healthy stuff, then you shouldn't worry about the rest.
