What a twat  Btw didn’t they supposedly fall out to the extent they used separate private jets while touring? 

 

I missed this but I can well believe it. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to be on a plane with that cunt.

Of all the many boring jobs life throws at you when you grow up, such as mowing the grass, etc, having to constant decide on what to eat is a fucking pain. Particularly so as kids turn into mini adults with their own assortment of likes / dislikes.

If they're old enough to be "mini adults", they're old enough to grow the fuck up and eat what they're served, make their own dinner, or starve. Sorted.  

 

I should become a parenting coach really, I'm great at this.

We've got friends whose kids basically live on beige food. Chicken dippers and chips mostly. If they come to ours, the kids either eat before they come, or they bring shit with them. If they go out somewhere, the kids basically only eat garlic bread.

 

Their mam says "you've got to pick your battles", but it's always struck me that just letting your kids eat pure garbage is probably conceding the wrong battle. 

 

We've got a grown up version of this as well. A lass who eats that shit at home, won't eat veg, and will only eat at restaurants if they do goujons or a chicken burger. And all the lettuce and tomato comes out of the burger the second the plate hits the table. This is someone of around 40. I mean just fuck off will you.

Box of pampers on his desk for when he gets back to work, please.

I agree on her with the lettuce and tomato. Why ruin a perfectly good burger?

We have similar friends.  

 

When we went over at the weekend they made a Mexican fajita thing and the kids had turkey bites with chips, but to be healthy they had cut up cucumber and a few tomatoes

Who eats a burger to be healthy? Lettuce tastes of nothing and just dilutes the flavour of the burger. This is a hill I'm prepared to die on.

Your national dish is cabbage, bitch. Don't talk to me about flavours.

Nah, that's when you got to McDonalds. A proper burger with a nice crisp lettuce and tomatoe

Aye. You can’t force kids to eat everything. And having identical twins, they’re basically genetically the same and have been introduced to stuff at the exact same time and still have different tastes. But you can definitely introduce them to stuff and I think you need to realise that not liking something when kids try it doesn’t mean they won’t after they’ve tried it a few times. It’s worth it from a healthy pov but it’s also going to mean they get a lot more enjoyment out of food over the course of their lives. I’m not trying to make out we’re perfect parents or anything but food is one thing where you can pretty much control when it comes to kids. The worst thing for me is seeing really obese kids because I know genetics comes into it but it’s largely down to their parents/guardians. I think if you don’t do it when they’re young it must be hard to break those habits though. Loads of my kids’ mates seem to be really fucking picky eaters. Which is fine when they visit because you can just do pizza and chips or whatever. But it’s not really setting them up for a healthy adult diet if they’re eating that about 4 or 5 times a week

Fruit can do a lot of heavy lifting with kids.  Christ it is a pain though.  I understand why parents just fucking give up.  

 

I know a lad who lived on cheese and mash his entire childhood (which was a very complex one), turned out 6ft 2 and right as rain.  Don't underestimate the power of the apex omnivore to make do.

Picking your battles is one thing, but you lose the war if you surrender every time.

 

My 5yr old has a broader palette than my sister and she's 44.

 

She visited and we went to a Piccolino for tea. She had a full garlic bread pizza to herself, but only half a carbonara. Why? Well because they put black pepper on it, so it was too spicy.

 

I'm convinced this is all because my mam gave us a small variety of meals, and boiled the shit out of every vegetable.
