This after a hard night of no sleeping (Ian) and having to come home from church early, because he just wasn't going to do it today. He LOVES chicken nuggets, still has a bottle at 3 (bed time, nap time, and at church), and refuses to eat any fruit. We feed him what he will eat and give him a vitamin. Never have been able to get his child care provider to understand that--she just thinks we are bad eaters.Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018289536912488430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-44291172207480417002012-02-04T15:24:16.217-06:002012-02-04T15:24:16.217-06:00I also get upset when people make judgements and r...I also get upset when people make judgements and really show their ignorance. Two of my grandchildren have Tourette's Syndrome. Food has always been a problem for them because of swallowing problems and the consistency of certain foods, especially meat. We know that one of them will just not eat certain foods. I try to have foods on hand that I know he will eat. He loves dairy foods, cereals and fruit. We also have to be careful with additives and dyes. His mom and dad accept this and keep food on hand that will be healthy.<br /><br />At a family get together recently, I asked his mom what he would like to eat. Another dil remarked, "My children eat whatever is put on their plates". This made me angry, because she just didn't understand the situation at all. She can't even begin to imagine what it takes to keep this little guy healthy. <br /><br />Thank you for letting me vent! I enjoy your blog, but don't comment often.Wilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149809227265309597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-7720992536351465872012-02-04T12:36:46.776-06:002012-02-04T12:36:46.776-06:00People in general are so quick to pass judgment on...People in general are so quick to pass judgment on other people they really know nothing about. They just don't understand. And they want to stick each and every one of us into a neat little box and label us. In truth, it keeps them from truly engaging with the world around them, they can stay stuck in their own little worlds with their own ideas of how things are or should be.

Ben would eat ice cream, french fries, chicken nuggets, and mcdonald hamburgers. There was something else, because it was 5 things, but I can't remember it now. And he salted it all so much no one else could eat it. Social Skills...pfffttttt....makes it all about the kids, and not what is wrong, why they suffer such unusual adaptions.<br /><br />Oy...time for a cup o'tea....breathe, Rose....relax...<br /><br />PS, chicken nuggets are nasty!Usethebrains Godgiveyouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026223483117357541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-42331862542227672362012-02-04T10:17:42.634-06:002012-02-04T10:17:42.634-06:00I totally agree!

Once I found out about the Chicken Nugget creation I had to eliminate it from her diet (it's just too gross to think about and let her eat them)! Now I am dealing with "S" not wanting to eat anything. The frustration of trying repeatedly to no avail and the the fear of having my children either being taken away from me for malnutrition or them getting really sick has consumed me lately! I feel for other families in this boat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
