It's a miracle!

I was told I would go to bed hungry if I didnt eat what was made for supper. Only took me once to realize hunger sucked more than a food I thought I didnt like.

Worked for mine. And the ones that use it are successful with theirs. The ones that never lived with me...not so much. Imagine stopping at McDonald's just before arriving at Grandma & Grandpa's for Thanksgiving dinner, so that your 10-year-old child can have chicken McNuggets because she "doesn't like turkey...or mashed potatoes...or stuffing...or all the other stuff that comprises a huge Thanksgiving spread". IMO, that should have meant that she didn't like pumpkin or pecan or apple or mincemeat pies, either.

I'm a mean grandma...

In general, it works for mine. My son is really easy to read. We can tell whether he’s saying he doesn’t like it so he doesn’t have to eat it or if he truly doesn’t like it. If he truly doesn’t like something we aren’t going to force it on him. There are alternatives that aren’t junk food.

One of the funny ones that I have never understood - my older son has ALWAYS hated meatloaf (something about the texture...he admits that he likes all of the ingredients in different forms). He would cry whenever we had it. To this day he STILL hates meatloaf (he's 42 now) but he doesn't cry about it any more. ;)

That is the only food that either of my two bio-sons has ever refused to eat. Maybe I was just lucky - they were basic garbage guts from the get-go.
 
I was told that I had to always try a food....and then, if I didn't like it, so be it. Although as a kid I quickly realized that A) Dad was going to make sure we ate what was on our plate and B) Whatever Mom served was the only option.

I know, I just think its funny when people without kids jump in with their wisdom. I remember what it was like when I didn't have kids and knew everything about parenting too.

Of course almost every parent makes their kids eat what they make. It just sucks to have to threaten your kids with starvation and deal with sh!tty attitudes at the dinner table. I have four kids between the ages of 6 to 9, and trying to introduce a new meal into the rotation sucks b@lls!

I don't like bananas. Dried or in banana bread is fine. The texture, taste, and smell, make me want to hurl. But I've probably had like 3-4 in the last couple of months. I have taken it slow, but am slowly overcoming my distain taste of them.

Kinda like overcoming a peanut allergy. Small little bits at a time and over time..... they can be tolerated.

Maybe this is why I refuse to eat Kraft Mac n Cheese. Seems we were force fed that every other day. One day with hot dogs cut up in it, the next plain. That orange cheese powder packet from hell!!
