this sounds sooo familiar....

even sounds like my 14yr (nt) son...

he is one of the most pickiest eaters on

earth...when he is here..i have to make

so many different things to acomodate

everyone. and he's even gotten

worse, cause his dad is a chef (a

really good one, i might add)

and he always has to say

" why can't you make it like my dad

does..why does it look like this

why why why... " ..jenna is the same, will

only eat certain things....BUT

my little one, loves EVERYTHING!!YAY!!

i really hope that keeps up...Im

sorry your having a bad night...I really

hope you get to get some sleep tonight, tho!

Thanks. It was ok after a bit and Jeff got home. That always seems to

make things better for a bit at least. Jeff and I are both picky

eaters too so I guess I know where he gets it. Alec is picky too but

not anymore than Jeff and i so thats ok. We will see with Yessenia. I

didnt get much sleep last night but thats ok. The house is empty

right now.

Food.

I wish I could just hook up to an IV during the night and not have to

fight another food battle as long as I live.

<sigh>

Hey, I've got that same 'sibling parenting' thing going on here too. Don't

you wish they could just keep quiet, ignore what you're saying to the other,

and mind their own business??

Sue, who knows it'll never happen.

YES!!!

My 9 year old NT daughter is driving me INSANE!!! She's constantly

mothering the other two. Then when they hit her for yelling at them,

she hits them back. How can I teach with his behavior problems

that hitting isn't the solution when Sami resorts to it every time?

Grrr!!! It's a 3 ring circus some days.

Jacquie,

I know how you feel. I get so mad at Mark for the same thing, but he

doesn't talk back. It's just whine whine whine. I'm been getting

more strict about him eating what he first asks for. Sometimes it

will sit in the living room and he will take a bite here and there.

We don't usually eat in the kitchen which is something I would like

to get back in the habit of. I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions,

if I figure anything out I will let you know.
