So many of us stay-at-home moms get in the same rut. And its way harder when your husband isn't home at dinner time and it's just you and the kids. If that were me, I would just eat a bowl of cereal every night and be totally happy with it! My son has always been a wonderful eater - eats all of his veggies, LOVES all meat, esp steak. My 4 year old daughter on the other hand is TOTALLY the opposite! She wouldn't even eat baby food! Even now she will only eat carbs - crackers, cereal, chips, and popcorn. I'm tired of fighting with her to get her to eat right, so when she goes to the cupboard and grabs her favorite chips or fruit snacks, I don't get mad. I'm just secretly happy that's getting SOMETHING into her belly so she doesn't look like a skeleton!! Oh and she will ONLY drink milk from her "babba", which drives my ex-husband bonkers! Buy hey, I can't have her not drink milk when she doesn't get that much nutrition from the snack-type food that she eats! So do I feel like I could be doing a much better job with my daughter - HELL YES! Do I take the easy way out at times - YES! So I think I will join you in your task to become a better mom - although I think you're already off to a better start than I am! You are WAY too hard on yourself!

I've thought about trying that because they would eat mac and cheese all day if I let them! That's a good rule about the 2 bites. thanks. :) I heard you can put pureed cauliflower into mac and cheese and it’s undetectable.

But I do think you are trying to make healthy, beneficial changes--just the fact that you care enough to try says a lot about you!

This Mommy gig is more difficult than I ever thought it would be! I feel inadequate too sometimes but my kids are healthy and happy, and that is what really matters so cut yourself some slack.

Been there myself, so I know you can do it. Make a rule in your home that they must take at least two bites before they say they don't like something. If they like macaroni and cheese, add a little something extra in it or on top of it. You’re just in a rut, and now you are climbing out. Been there myself, so I know you can do it.

I just bought 3 Family Size bags of Chicken Nuggets because they were on sale for $3.99 and they were Tyson! You don't suck :) It takes every ounce of patience I have to teach my kids anything in the kitchen. There is always a mess and they never seem to clean up after. You know what? I actually have 2 of them cooking things like omelets, macaroni, spaghetti and YES Chicken Nuggets! LOL Oh No!
