Unfortunately the length my lad goes to, to be difficult with food, is at a level I've never seen before, so have no familiarity with.
When all else fails and we're concerned he's not eating enough then we can get by with a vegemite sandwich, bowl of cereal, or plain rice/pasta. I'm a bit at my wits end, it's almost like we need to see a food psychologist or something lol.
Even on the odd occasion we spring for family pizza's he gets all excited, then maybe eats 5 pieces of Ham off it then he's done. We can't hide the Veggies in a Bolognese or the like because he just refuses to eat that kind of meal anyway.
The point about the Grandparents was a good one .. She's a great GM and being a Wog she's a brilliant cook, but whilst his brother eats all the hearty stuff, the little f***er's meals there consist of Ice Creams, Popcorn, Chips etc.
Sounds like it has to be good old fashion tough love mate. Eat this or go without....
Yep, I think we probably have to start by just not keeping any of the alternatives in the house .. My missus was saying that a while back, but now that Im Mr Momming it a bit, I probably have a better understanding of it. Ive had plenty of exposure to nieces, nephews, family friends and godchildren, but he's easily the most stubborn little bigger Ive seen. Naturally I blame his mother for that
