Things Mr. Personality Refuses to Eat

The skin on an apple
Ground meat of any kind
Melted white cheese
Chocolate milk
Lima beans (but really, who likes lima beans anyway?)
Asparagus
French fries
Lettuce
Garlic bread
The crust on any bread
Olives
Artichokes
Pizza, except for the crust (go figure)
Any rice other than white rice
Black beans
Mustard
Chicken in breast form
Steak
Peas
Sweet potatoes
Potatoes
Turkey
Pork
Ham
Sour cream
Guacamole
Mayonnaise
Any cold cereal other than Crispix (but I've never given him the sugary kind, so he very well may like that stuff if I gave him a chance)
Chocolate cake
Onions (good boy!)
Pickles
Cabbage
Soup of any kind
Eggs
Bacon

Oh, no, I'm not raising a picky eater or anything over here. I think if he could live on bread and butter, he would.

You try feeding him this stuff "at least 15 times" so that he can learn to like it. Let me know how it goes.

Complete empathy from me! My son eats only a handful of foods, and I can only hope that he will one day become less picky. It's so frustrating. (That advice to offer a food 10-20 times NEVER worked for us.)

So sorry. A and C have similarly long lists, but they are, of course, mutually exclusive. C will only eat cheese "raw" shae will only eat it melted. He likes only beef hot dogs, she likes only turkey. (Head banging against wall). I have to say that I haven't even tried 3/4 of the things on your list. Kudos for you for even offering them!

Everyone swears that at age 6 or so it turns around...

I don't know...I could copy and paste that same list for my youngest daughter, and she's 13!

Oh, I know. it is just SO MUCH FUN to offer foods 15 times, just to have them refused. What a waste of money and time! Isaac used to be a good eater, but he is getting pickier and pickier the older he gets. Don't get me started on Vivian--if it's not sweet, or pasta with red sauce, she won't eat it. Period. Then screams in hunger ten minutes after dinner.

Wow. That list is amazing.

My son would eat anything, even the strange things. He even went through a period where he would get all excited about kipper snacks. Yeah. Smoked herring. Go figure.

I think food preferences come mainly from the father's side. Blame it on Hubba-hubba. :)

I'm a full grown adult and my list is even more extensive. Don't even get me started on delivery pizza that *may" have been exposed to meat juices during the cutting and slicing phase.

Although french fries? Who doesn't like french fries (providing they aren't from a fast food restaurant when they may have been deep fried along side a hunk of fish or strips of chicken).

Me and Mr. Personality would get along just fine together with our bread and butter I think.

I'm impressed at a kid who doesn't even eat French Fries. Mine will eat those, olives, bacon and ham, which we call "white bacon" and nothing else on your list, so I hear ya! My youngest will eat anything - go figure.

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Friday Poll

Because Friday night is our "movie night" at home and we order pizza and eat it on the couch whilst watching G-rated fare with Mr. P, I have to ask: What is your must-have pizza topping? What is one topping you would never eat?
