Here's the deal. My child is a picky eater. No I take that back. She's not a picky eater, that is way too much credit, she is a like a non-eater, or maybe a food hater. Its not like she absolutely won't eat anything, she will, but only like 5 things. Seriously I could name on one hand the food my child will eat.
-Bread
-pizza
-breakfast food (well any sweet breakfast food, no eggs or meat or anything like that)
-horrible foods like anything covered with sugar, or chips or crackers and stuff like that (which we rarely give her because we don't buy it)
-peanut butter, she is CRAZY about peanut butter
-sometimes quesadilla's or a grilled cheese
Thats it. No fruit, no veggies, no meat. I have researched and researched until i could research no more about picky eaters, and they are all the same. All the same advice. And i have tried it all. Multiple times. In fact, she has gone to bed hungry right now. She is SO stubborn that she could care less about going to bed hungry. And its not because she isn't hungry that she won't eat, she is, she just wants the above mentioned food, and nothing else. I REFUSE to be a restaurant and make a different thing for every person in our house. REFUSE. Thats not even an option in my house. So, time to cut to the chase.
The other day at the in-laws during dinner time I told everyone at the table "if you can get Lucy to eat 1 bite (of anything besides the above mentioned food) I would give you $100". Needless to say, my wallet is still full. I do not know what to do. I am at my wits end. I lose sleep over this. I have prayed more times about this than I pray for my food to "nourish and strengthen our bodies". If anyone out there has any USEFUL info to get Lucy to eat, no joke, i will pay you $100. No if's, and's, or but's. I will come to your door with a $100 bill. You know what they say, "Desperate times calls for desperate measures".
