My 2 dgds, 4 and 6 are getting really hard to get to eat anything at our house, but not at home or dils parents’ home apparently.
Until recently they ate more or less what we gave them, though we took into account small dislikes they had. For some reason they’ve got suspicious of our food. We gave them a couple of dishes which were quite normal, but were cooked a little different than at home, they wouldn’t eat it and things have gone downhill since. They seem to be getting it from each other.
Boxing Day they wouldn’t eat the roast because there was some dark meat in it, then wouldn’t have pudding because they didn’t like the dairy free ice cream I got specially for lactose intolerant dil. One of them ended up on dil’s knee sucking her thumb.
Yesterday DH had slow pot roasted a piece of beef til it was really tender, but they wouldn’t even try anything, not even the gravy, roast potatoes and veg which they used to love.
They asked for ham sandwiches and crisps which we gave them. There was some falling out from the 4yr old about the amount of crisps she had, then she even took off the ham, so only had bread and butter. There were 2 puddings, lemon cake and custard pie with custard, both declined.
DS and dil like eating here, but I’m a bit fed up with the kids. Giving up and just giving them bread and butter seems a bit extreme.
This must have been discussed on GN before, but any thoughts?
