Hi, Jill here--stay at home mom of 4 boys-13, 8, 4, and almost 2 (started the "terrible" 2's at 18 months). I have a problem with 2 fussy eaters. What do you do when your 8 yr old eats & almost weighs more than the 13 yr old? He eats pizza, hotdogs, hamburgers, but will not eat things like spaghetti, chicken, turkey, fish... My 4 yr old is going along the same line as his 13 yr old brother, ugh! I would have to say that my 2 yr old is like my 8 yr old--what's really funny is that as much as my 13 & 8 yr old are opposites, my 4 & (almost 2--Feb 25th) are even more extreme opposites. I did not think that it could ever be, but it is... I am now telling them (all) that if they do not like what I serve, then they can hit the bread & butter! Would take any suggestions with fussy eaters--I saw Dr. Phil where he said that if they wouldn't eat what was on the table to save it for later and they could eat it then. Tried it one time and they just helped themselves to something else when I wasn't looking...
by the way just wanted to introduce myself, too. I really do love my boys!! Like to camp, scrapbook, visit with family, play cards. Have a wonderful dh of almost 17 years who helps me keep my sanity
