As every parent knows, kids can be remarkably fickle when it comes to food. Seemingly on the slightest whim dietary requirements can drastically change, now your little bundle of joy will only eat foods that are orange, for example.

Luckily, for the majority of kids fussy eating is just a phase. We all know that it just comes with the territory, and we need to find creative and funny ways to get around it.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of hilarious tweets from parents in the midst of dinnertime dramas, if you’ve had kids yourself you’ll be sure to raise a knowing smile (or grimace). Check them out below and tell us your experiences in the comments!

Boy, I’ll say it counts. But there’s always the old “Fine, you can go to bed hungry.”

I think that's natural... I mean, doughnuts are the best thing ever. They make the perfect sacrifices

Obviously, you need to tell them as well that your growing belly is a "state-funded infrastructure project".

This sounds like every cat I have had. "Hey, HEY, give me some of your food, it's probably delicious... thanks human but this is disgusting. HEY I bet this piece is AMAZING, give me some".

1 bag of Goldfish crackers stashed on a top shelf five feet from the floor, one 5 minute bathroom stop, 1 active 2 year old and 1 kitchen chair = totally trashed living room.

I never get that... Toddlers sucking on a piece of something until it looks like it's been half digested already and parents then eating that disgusting goop 🤢

When my son was almost 2, I caught him chewing on our dog’s rubber bone. And yet they survive.

My second son didn't tell me he didn't like the béchamel sauce and cheese on lasagna for three years. He likes the rest so would sneak it to the dog and ask for more. I made it more often because he "liked" it. The other three kids do actually like my lasagna, I hope?!?

In the uk all dog and cat food are tasted by humans and have to be suitable for human consumption. Due to this my pets regularly dine on minced lamb, chicken or beef while I have noodles!

My mom loved to try this. Once everyone fled the house when she craftily substituted goat's milk for cows milk. The house reeked for a week.
