Kids being picky eaters is an age old issue going back for eons.
Most 1 and 2 year olds are going to show some varying level of resistance to unusual foods at times. You either power through and produce a good eater, or give in and produce a picky eater. They are not going to starve themselves

Pay attention kids. What he just described is called “parenting”. I know it might sound hard and a little scary. But if you really try your best, I’m sure you can do it too when you grow up.

Wrong. Some kids eat whatever the frick you put in front of them. Put a coffee can of worms in front of them, they'll eat the worms and the dirt too. Other kids, won't eat. Have to be enticed to eat. This whole "you'll eat it or you'll starve" attitude is bullshite. Genro, you are genrolly a good poster, so I won't hold this trite anecdote against you.

They eat what I say they eat when I say they eat it. Or they don't eat. They sleep where I tell them to sleep when I say to sleep. Or they don't sleep. They stay with other people when I say they will. Going through highchair temper tantrums, bedtime meltdowns, separation anxiety SUCKED. But the individuals struggles on each seem like distant insignificant memories. I mean they were maybe 2 weeks or something
Just don't act like I'm lucky like so many parents do when you see my kids being good eaters, not needing an iPad in their face 24/7, not needing to be in the bed with Mommy and Daddy, allowing other people to interact with them etc etc

My 5 year old goes to bed with no dinner on the regular. She will wait you out until the end of time.

Yep. Oh well. Sucks to be hungry. Guess what she gets for her next meal?
Posted on 12/21/18 at 11:55 pm to genro
I guarantee your kid is not as stubborn as mine is if your shite takes 2 weeks to break. We broke sleeping and everything else no problem. My kid just doesn’t like to eat certain foods and she will pick and eat what she can to get by. My wife was apparently the same way. I mean it’s fine by us, she just chooses to go to bed hungry all the time or she eats but it’s been 3 years and she never just eats everything no problem every meal.

This is the way my daughter was. I just accepted that she didn't like some foods but still made an effort to feed her a healthy variety of the things she liked. It paid off in the long term as she slowly tried more and more things.
But as far as the op, eating absolutely nothing but chicken nuggets is ridiculous.

When my daughter was about 3 she said the only meat she would eat was chicken. “No problem” I said. “Here is pork chicken, and roast chicken, and steak chicken.” She ate it all and to this day is not a picky eater.

In restaurants I've told the kids that a burrito was like a hamburger, Alfredo was like macaroni. I've had em not eat and that's fine. I've had public metldowns I've had to deal with. There's no chance in hell I'm stopping off to get chicken fingers and fries to cater to my kids demands. That is just shitty period

Everyone should heed these words of wisdom. Every night my kids have the choice of eating what's for dinner, or not eating at all. Grow some balls, parents

Got damn right. Had this same conversation with my ex-wife just a few days ago. Told her, if she's friends with our kids, that's great, but her job is to be their parent, first and foremost.

My daughter has a friend that will only eat chicken nuggets. She is 10. She has spent the night a couple of times and doesn’t eat anything we make for dinner. I’ll be damned if I’m going out of my way to get her nuggets. My daughter is sitting there eating broccoli and grilled fish and her friend just sits there watching us lol. So far she won’t eat spaghetti, fish, baked chicken and even hamburgers. Oh well.

Amen to that. I made my own baby food with my daughter. My Dad grew a huge garden, so my baby ate ground up green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, etc. from the time she started eating solids. She never had baby food from a jar. I ground meats for her too. So she started out eating real food from the get go. No food issues.

Same here. My kid is a picky eater. Little a-hole will go to bed hungry he doesn’t care. He has a few things he likes and that is it.
When we go to a restaurant we order the closest meals to what we think he will like. We are not bringing fast food to another restaurant.

Stupidest arguement out there. Are you a professional athlete? If not, don't ever comment on a sporting event again.
People have likely played the same sport at some point and watched it their entire lives, what’s your window into parenting? Having been a kid once?

This is the most asinine argument. You don’t need to have children in order to identify shitty parenting.
What is described in the OP is very shitty parenting.

Never forced my kids to eat anything because life is about choices. They always had the option to not eat, their choice.
