All we have is one tiny freezer above our refrigerator. I should probably stop buying so much ice cream so I could fit a little bit more :)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208276783281736857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-1947147467184565622013-11-12T07:06:21.258-05:002013-11-12T07:06:21.258-05:00Oh my kids are the same way, don't worry! I s...Oh my kids are the same way, don't worry! I should probably let you know that they don't always (husband included though he does try hard) eat what I've made. And that was one of the things that prompted my little whine-fest to the husband :) There are many nights where there is a moan from the table or someone deciding they'd rather not eat at all than eat what I've made. I take the approach of if they are hungry, they will eat it unless it really is something difficult. Then I at least have them try a few bites. I'm more lenient with babies and toddlers. I feel like since this is such an issue with so many people for younger children that maybe it's just normal and children aren't that hungry at that time. But I will never opt for making a special meal for someone since that just isn't feasible and it will start very bad habits. I tell them we don't have to like everything we eat but we can still eat it. Sometimes we cut down on what we expect them to eat. ("You need to eat three bites of your soup before I'll give you another piece of bread...") Hopefully, it will catch on soon because it is an issue for us. I'm always curious how people with great eaters do it. Then again, my little birds save me on the grocery bill so there's that :) Depending on what it is, leftovers get frozen or become my lunch.

My two older children won't touch foods like that, and it makes me not want to cook because I get tired of the cooking the same things all the time. My husband loves anything, but most of the time when I cook foods that he and I like the kids won't eat it and we end up having so much left over it goes to waste after a few days. Any ideas for me? The kids could eat cereal or pb and j every night if I let them.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208276783281736857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-16334965315903448702013-11-11T14:25:38.303-05:002013-11-11T14:25:38.303-05:00Hehe, I love your "stellar wifely moment"...Hehe, I love your "stellar wifely moment"... it sounds vaguely familiar... :)<br />And, I always love reading about Advent and Christmas plans, so maybe I can twist your arm!<br /><br />Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440812661317797011noreply@blogger.com
