Young Ricky knows how to party. Also: get a vasectomy, eat whatever you want, and sleep in every weekend.

I don't let him have a tablet of his own or let him watch Youtube unless the grown-ups are picking out the videos. Same.

My wife's parents tried to put her on a diet but to them that meant only eating cantalopes which is like the only fruit she doesn't like. It didn't make her like. They also forced her to eat whatever that dad wanted for dinner and he wanted stuffed bellpeppers a lot - guess what she loving hates those.

A lot of a child's food preferences can be developed from infancy. A friend of mine is a professional chef and fed his son adult food (still easy for a baby to eat) like black beans and stuff with seasoning instead of just apple sauce and baby goop. At the age of 1 he now loving loves limes, chili powder, all sorts of poo poo. He'll eat just about anything put in front of him. Kid eats better than most of us.

Toddlers are amazingly strong willed, you don't take them head-on if they're refusing to do something that requires their cooperation. They will refuse to do stuff to their own detriment in the extreme. They will starve themselves if they don't like the foods on offer. They will make themselves vomit if you force them to eat something. They will go out naked in sub-zero temperatures if they don't like the clothes you've got for them. They will scream until they vomit if you leave them somewhere they don't want to be. If you try to force potty training they will refuse to take a poo poo to the point that they get hospitalised for constipation. They would probably die of dehydration before drinking from a vessel they've deemed unacceptable. You obviously find ways around these, I'm not saying this means you just let toddlers do whatever the gently caress they want. Just saying that non-parents need to realise what loving psychopaths parents are dealing with, it's never as simple as "you're an adult literally just tell them what to do".

Such varied food as a black bean! Kids have way better sense of taste. They like "bland" food because it doesnt taste bland to them. Feed them all the veggies though to get them a taste for that

My parents tricked me a couple of times by feeding me simple stuff they knew I liked while withholding the good stuff saying "you wouldn't like it, you're too young" while talking about how loving good everything was all the time. So eventually I decided I was a big kid and deserved the good food and was not disappointed at all to find out how delicious artichoke hearts and spicy food and all kinds of other stuff was.

They would probably die of dehydration before drinking from a vessel they've deemed unacceptable. This. My advice to new parents is to just extend the period before they get a taste of the typical American engineered salt/fat hyperfood as long as possible. If you think of tasty addictiveness as a scale of one to ten, with Cheetos at 10 and an apple at 4, a kid will be perfectly happy with a 4 until they've had a 10. Then they want nothing but 10. A perfect example of this is that my kid used to love just chowing on plain strawberries, until my loving mother-in-law gave him strawberries dipped in powdered sugar. Now guess what, he doesn't want plain strawberries anymore. The only thing I've done right with my kid and food is portion size. I give him tiny portions and I never encourage him to empty his plate, in fact the opposite. So at least he's not fat because he eats like a bird. The portions people give kids are insane. Their stomach is the size of their little fist!

You know Americans consist of more people than just white mayonnaise people right? Like, people with Italian heritage, Nigerian, Mexican, Indian, Thai, Japanese, Cuban, El Salvadorian, Greek, Pakistani, Chinese, etc. And these people eat a wide variety of food with spices and amazing flavors.

Kids are also really sensitive to colour and texture, it's not just about flavour. My kid will even refuse to eat green sweets, and he loves the taste of marshmallows but the texture makes him vomit so he can't have them.Imagined posted:The only thing I've done right with my kid and food is portion size.

Their stomach is the size of their little fist! Yeah my parents are pretty good but the only thing my mother does that annoys me is push my kid hard to finish all the food. People naturally have quite good hungry/satiety signals and I feel like culturally we teach kids to ignore them. So many schools will force kids to sit and eat everything in their lunch box before they're allowed to go and play, for example. Kids are taught that you eat certain portion sizes at the same time every day, rather than eat when you're hungry and only as much as you actually need to eat. voiceless anal fricative has a new favorite as of 21:03 on Jul 18, 2019 |

Assuming the parent gives them the right amount of food I'm sure they'd like their kid to eat the lunch and not just throw it all away except for the dessert and go play.

gey muckle mowser posted:strawberries are already sweet and amazing on their own, why would you cover them in sugar Sometimes you get really bland ones. One of the biggest growers and distributors in Cali is in my home town and it's pretty much a coin toss on them tasting normal or slightly sour and mostly flavorless despite being fully ripe.

Lobok posted:The lunch box one I kind of get, though. Assuming the parent gives them the right amount of food I'm sure they'd like their kid to eat the lunch and not just throw it all away except for the dessert and go play. But there's no "right amount" for kids because they go through rapid growth spurts basically at random and do such wildly different amounts of exercise on different days. Like one day a kid will spend the whole 30 minutes of morning recess sprinting or climbing or some poo poo, then the next day they'll spend it sitting in the sand pit or in the library or some poo poo. That's going to have a big impact on their appetite. There's definitely an issue with kids wanting to get out and play so they'll just stuff something into their mouth and leave the rest uneaten, but that's because they're only given like 15 minutes each school day to eat, and only right before they go out to recess. Ive worked at one school that didn't have these stupid draconian policies around eating and unsurprisingly the issue of kids not eating much of their food went away. Schools just need to let kids eat in class, or give them plenty of opportunities during the day to eat. It's not hard.

Me and one other guy started at the same time and they tried to put both of us in the middle of the row, and we both demanded (and got) the empty corner cubicles before they could even start setting us up. Best job decision I've ever made.
