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!

    I don't get why parents "bribe" their kids to eat meals they complain about... my parents would make meals right at home, every evening, and whenever me or any of my siblings would protest or stick our nose in the air, they would make us go to bed hungry. But not before reminding us of how lucky we were to even have food sitting in front of us and that we could've been on the streets, starving. Why isn't that reason enough to make kids quit complaining and be grateful for what they have and are being given? Heck, not just kids, anyone who complains about their food and things they are given.

    totally agree and never did do they oh let me make you something else. Eat what is placed before you. Parents know the difference between true disliking of something like broccoli or just being a pain and want something different. Eat it or you will just stay hungry. Not making something else

    If the kid needs to fat, it cannot be told "no". You want a stomachache afterwards? Or gases building up? Tell the kid to run to the bathroom or step out from the table. Teach your kid that farting is a natural thing, but a thing not to be done in public (as much as it can be avoided at least).

    Holding in your flatulence for a while will not harm you. It's totally normal for parents to teach their children proper manners about bodily emissions. They will have a job someday, and they can't walk around farting in front of coworkers, clients, patients etc.

    My M-I-L told me that when my hubby was little they would only put one or two bites of vegetables on his plate and tell him it was all he could have. He would eat them first and ask for more and they would act like it was a treat. Then they had dessert and acted like it was because they had to eat it. She caught him sneaking leftover broccoli out of the fridge one night when he was 3 and knew it had worked. To this day he prefers fruits and vegetables to junk food.

    I always put a plate of chopped fresh veg on the counter while I cooked. I would loudly announce: 'these veggies are for dinner, nobody better eat them!' Every time something disappeared off the plate (accompanied by wild scurrying and giggles) I'd go: 'Oh dear, I think we have a mouse!' Which always resulted in (crunchy) giggles. By the time we sat down the 'mouse' had a good portion of fresh veg in him. He's 16 now and will happily help himself to a bag of carrots out of the fridge as a snack.

    I do the same thing with my nephew and nieces whenever I want them to drink more. I pour myself some water, drink a sip and "forget" about it.

    And this never stops. I asked my 16yo yesterday if he wanted chicken slices on his lunch sandwiches. To be told (with extreme exasperation): 'I HATE chicken slices, I always have!' I could only pick my jaw off the ground and tell him: 'But you had them just last week! In fact, every week since you were 3!' Response? 'Oh yeah, well, that's with tomato sauce. You didn't say with tomato sauce'. I give up...

    But i know from experience they are toddlers with their food and they throw it all over their stall so you pile it up in a corner and they ask for more cuz thats OBVIOUSLY not edible food, so to keep your horse from starving to death you have to give them MORE food and its a cycle.

    Even as an adult I downright choke and almost puke if I bite into onions, and I don't have to see it, it's automatic. So I can't really blame them. I've met someone who couldn't handle tomatoes the same way. There are things people really can't eat no matter how much they try to, it's not always about being picky.

    What's annoying is when people who aren't your children expect their dinner to be made for them. As if they're incapable of making something themselves. If you're an adult and can't make anything other than cereal, you're an idiot.

    When eating out when our kids were younger at the buffet, the middle son wanted ice cream first. We told him he had to eat other stuff if he had it. We finally gave in. He ate ice cream then ate a good dinner. Didn’t even try with 3rd son. He ate ice cream then meal ice cream and another salad. Does it even now at 21, ends with more salad.

    Cut the squares in half to get triangles. Then make a new sandwich, cut it correctly, and enjoy eating two sandwiches while your child eats goldfish crackers.

    If you just take those squares and stack them into a sandwich fort, leaving out one wall and having a roof, then you put all the other snacks/food inside the fort.... sometimes that works. Or said 4 yr old just flattens out the fort with their hand and you have to start all over again, lol

    We had the three bite rule. You had to have at least three bites of something. If you still hated it you didn't have to have it again. Because let's face it kids decide they don't like something before they've even tried it most of the time so the first bite doesn't really do much because they're already primed to be all omg this is the worst thing ever.

    Hah, our school district has solved the mommy guilt on that one by requesting only individually wrapped and store bought for health and safety reasons. Grateful!

    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.

    Pancakes are usually soggy and bland. Waffles are airy and crispy.
