I wrote a long post earlier explaining that my soon to be step children eat nothing. Whenever I cook they turn their noses up (IN FRONT OF ME) about it.
My own kids are quite adventurous so for example, lamb kebabs, falafel and pitta and hummus is a normal meal, but the sc loudly said things like "ugh" "its not my kind of food" "it tastes funny" at the dinner table etc.
I was coming on to complain and say I dont know what to feed them when I realised my kids will prob have to sacrifice their tastebuds instead.
There is no way I can get my dsc to eat what mine eat. Simple. But I suppose it wouldnt be out of the question for mine to eat plain pasta, (reeeealy struggling to think of what else they like!) and pizza whenever they are here.
I just hate cooking that food and am a bit that I have been asking bf to cook for all kids when theyre all here as I am out of ideas. Everything I suggest is met with distain and when I do cook, it is left by them but eaten by my own which means it cant be that Im an awful cook, its just different taste buds.
Has anyone conquered this problem without ww3? And any ideas for really plain food - theyll eat pasta but one will eat with tomato sauce - one wont etc.
They dont "do" vegetables and are very fussy about meat.
No spice.
And please, I am not trying to be a bitch here, I am genuinely stressed over meal times when they are here as I want meal times to be nice!!!
