I'm so sick of meal times, making three lots of meals a day only to have endless negotiations over how many veggies to eat.
Sometimes I feel like running screaming from the kitchen and leaving them there to their pea-flinging, veggie-hiding, stuff-carrots-in-any-hole-except mouth ways. I've imposed a sugar ban on them again, but they seem to know how to sneak it into their lives, little blighters. They'll duck into the butchers on the way home from cafe with dad and ask for (and get, daddy's a great client) lollipops. One will sneak extra juice from the fridge while I'm wiping the other one's bum after yet another meal-time poo break. They even suck out extra strawberry flavored toothpaste if they get really low(we've got non-fluoride toothpaste for them).
I'm the only anti-sugar nazi in the house too, their dad loves giving it to them as treats.
Is it really worth all this hassle???? Should I just give in to the lure of the sugar fairy? Please help.

I dont know if you have tried this yet but it works like magic for my one yea old Max. Make sure the vegies tast good to you befor you give it to our kids. Max would not eat anything that looked like a vegi untill he saw His dad and i enjoyed eating them. try adding a bit of butter and salt to ther vegis or do vegis and dip, make it fun to eat good. As for dad he and you need to be on the same page on the nutrision of your kids. have you told him how frushtrated you have become about this. and fo your juice theif chang from a suger based to an all naurel juice. Good luck.

hi everyone... im new to this game and late for this topic... story of my life really. in regard to food etc... which i share the frustration of feeding little people... all day it seems... just when one meal is finished and cleaned up, its time for the next one. and so it goes every day (hence my username). I have four little people six and under and my youngest is nine months. He is still at the mushed up food stage... sometimes jar food is just all i can cope with. Is it just me... (or my son) that he can easily eat three jars of food in one meal?

Hello groundhogmum,
I love your name. We had a friend visiting who has grown up children now, and he was stunned that we were planning dinner straight after lunch had been cleared. He is a union organiser and I was tempted to ask him what his advice was for getting out from under the oppression of the endless food production line. We definitely need a union, but then we it would be good to get pay too and we're not getting that anytime soon to stay home and look after our little ones. Sorry - rant over...
Sounds to me that you're not new to the game at all - what a huge effort having four little people under six....
As to your son - three jars of food in one meal sounds pretty well within the range of normal - unless of course it is three jars of vegetables in which case it would be classified a true miracle in my house.

I mix small meal worms in with the greens and sprinkle vitamins and such in as well. My beardies avoided the greens at the very beginning but now they eat it all up
