HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU CHANGE YOUR FOOD CHOICES?

“I’ll eat you under the table!” – I whisper to my chocolate bar,
hidden from the children.

YOU ARE NOT A PARENT YET

All types of meals are allowed, all delicacies that make you happy. My private, lovely idea is to combine unhealthy food with spicy dip and olives to make my evening unforgettable. I was delighted that I could happily eat in peace and quiet.

No one chokes, splits, no one plays with food. No one argues that this is not what they want.
There are no dramas because I cut the sausage into small pieces, but today, my child wanted the whole thing. Last week my son loved peas and carrots, but the next week this delicacy is disgusting and he must have told me so 100 times but I didn’t listen to him.

YOU ARE THE BOSS

Completely useless comments like it’s too spicy, fatty, looks like vomit, not exist.
My will is neither imposed nor subordinated to anyone. After the spicy wings, I will crave chocolate cake or ice cream. I know that there will be no healthy dessert. A dessert that I don’t have to eat after my kids because they don’t like it. My husband is a typical eater of children’s leftovers, the so-called vacuum cleaner having no choice.

Long enough before we became parents, we stuck to our choices, we were the bosses of our menu.
And then my mini creatures will appear and become bosses in all areas of your life.

YOU BECOME A PARENT

Every food you prepare for your children must be prepared in the same way on your plate. If you have a tomato instead of a cucumber, or they have avocado and you have broccoli, they still eat first from your plate and then of course from theirs. My husband always laughs: “As usual, they ate from your plate and Mommy stayed hungry.”

The most popular comment while family dinner is:

Why is again mash potatoes, not pasta?

My children can eat spaghetti every single day.

Why does Patrick have more cucumber than me?

Yesterday my daughter asked me not to give her any more cucumbers because it would make her sick.

This sauce looks like poop!!

They then laugh for a long time during dinner as if it were the best joke in the world.

YOU ARE NO LONGER THE BOSS

Me and my husband try to enjoy what’s on the menu for children, but how often can you eat spaghetti bolognese? Pancakes? Chips? And it’s best to pour a lot of ketchup on everything.

My children are not chocolate fanatics, but I am. Problems become when they see mine, they want it too, so it’s better to give it up or hide in the toilet or eat behind the cupboard.

Most of my favourite meals: spicy wings, chocolate ice cream, started to vanish from my menu.

Nachos, my favorite, spicy nachos, I stopped eating them completely. It was impossible to explain to Patrick that they were burning, so he tried to force them and choked.

REGULATIONS FOR FAMILY MEALS

In short, children copy their parent’s behavior, and we have a great influence on their dietary standards. So it is normal that I want them to eat healthily and give up packets of chips and chocolate bars, that is, give up only in their presence. I sacrifice some of my little habits, but then I see how my children actually like to eat healthily.
