My Kid is a Damn Nutter

I think I oversimplified. She will eat most things as long as they have velveeta, ketchup or gravy on them. But she will not touch fish or seafood of any kind...and no beans. There is no talking with bio-mom. There is talking to bio-mom then a screeching fit always results, no matter how she is approached. Both of us have tried many times. I try to avoid her, these days.

I am sorry I don't mean to threadjack. Maybe I should start a step-mom thread.

You know what? That is really a relief to know that. Neither of the boys are nearly that picky and they are younger. I was worried there was some kind of weird scary psychological thing going on with her that we couldn't figure out. Of course, I guess divorce and remarriage of her parents is weird scary psychological. But I figured she was so young when it happened, we would be mostly through alot of that. This makes me realize I should be more sensitive about it. I guess I need to think on this some more.

Yeah, I'm with monster. Some kids just won't eat that stuff. My 16 yo was/is one of them. She seems to be growing out of it but is still not one to take a chance on a new food. When I was a kid, I was the same way. Some textures/flavors were just unbearable. Even today I internally curse anyone who puts bell peppers in tomato sauce. Now I just suck it up and minimize the portion.

That's not abnormal, Griff. That just means you have good taste.

I was going to do this in a pm then decided public kudos were/are well deserved.

Clod - I'm constantly amazed at all the challenges you unwaveringly (sp) overcome.
Your posts have led me to keep keep track of those who are really helping vs those who are just going through the motions. The latter are systematically removed and replaced.

I really don't know how else to say this, but you repeatedly inspire me to keep on fighting when everything I'm dealing with seems so overwhelming and my efforts futile.

Thank YOU.
