The elder (9) went through a fussy stage but is now back on track and eats a lot of variety now. He even loves a bit of hot spice. 

 

The little fucker (5) is now going through this fussy stage.  He said he hates cheese as well now apparently.  He gets a fair amount of beige food. He'd literally not eat anything if he doesn't fancy it. He is genuinely so stubborn he'd die from starvation rather than eat something he doesn't fancy.

One thing we were told was that if he refuses to eat something, don't force him, but don't offer an alternative. Give them a while at the table while you eat whatever it is and if still didn't eat we'd just put it away and leave him hungry. Course that's not always a good idea, and it might not be the reason he's got better with his food, but it didn't hurt him.

To make matters worse the elder has been a veggie for about a year now.  He really sticks to it and won’t even eat gelatine based sweets. Now the little one is adamant  to join him but as his palate is so bland we are just telling him “it’s vegetarian chicken son…”

Ankle update for @thebrokendoll

 

Grade 1 tear and an avulsion fracture. 

 

Let's not anyone forget here that I was 1.5km into a run and I ran a further 4.5km on this ankle. 

 

TBD actually rode his dog home like it was Seabiscuit when he broke his collarbone.

Next time have an enormous shit in his chair and try to convince him he did it on the follow through. He’ll love that.

The lad shit his pants in the office. He needs to wipe his bum and take his medicine.

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.

Mrs Rents was a freak with food when I first met her. She had a limited number of dishes she would eat, and she would only eat these, absolutely nothing else. This was chips, chips with curry sauce, spaghetti hoops on toast, ripple bars (no other confectionary) and omelette which she had to ask to get made up if she went out. She wouldn't even eat pizza or pasta. She then went inter-railing and was basically forced to eat food like pizza or starve to death. She's still a fussy vegetarian (won't eat anything resembling meat in texture or taste except bizarrely beef crisps) but much better now. C'est la vie. It's a pain but honestly tyhe human body can healthily adapt to mono-diets. 

 

The kids, they are another matter. It's not so much they are fussy that gets me, it's just they change what they like on a daily basis. Eat it or starve is the correct response. The not so little shits now. 

 

Oh, and ewerk, the lettuce in a burger is for appearance and texture you animal.

We've all done it, followed through. But what nobody normal would do is tell the boss they have followed through. ESPECIALLY if that boss is wykiki. This lad needs referring to a head doctor.

On a whim, I just allowed Amazon music to present me "my" playlist and I should probably be arrested, the fucking state of it.

Never done it either. A very confident and very costly declaration from Renton.
