35 Times Stubborn Kids Proved That Their Parents Can’t Make Them Eat Anything They Don’t Want To

Wtf

I would have given the first waffle back to him!

Of course he won't eat it; it's his Security Zucchini!

I remember someoe convincing me to plant my jellybeans at that age. Cue disappointment.

Who EATS vegetables? Vegetables are for counting, duh!

for some reason, i found their profile picture very distracting… my brain refused to read the word pineapple and just replaced it with pumpkin… :l

I work with kids with behavioral problems as my job. You did wonderfully OP. Exactly why your own kids don’t have behavioral problems.

Inconceivable!

That is a really nice quote. And who can argue with that logic?

I'd sprain my ankle for your Mac and cheese

You’re lucky she didn’t DESTROY your cell phone. I was once asked to babysit my five-year-old cousins, and one little boy decided to throw my phone on the ground, stomp on it multiple times, whack it on the table, and show the horrible mess to his sister smugly. Just because I told him he couldn’t drink soda, OR eat ice cream, OR eat chips, or any junk food. Plus, he pushed the fruit bowl and healthy snacks I’d made them onto the floor, run around like lunatics, and proceed to whack me with their plastic toys. Yup, I guess I failed as heck as their babysitters, because I’ve personally never been chased around screaming by two five-year-olds with plastic toy trucks. Now I understand why their parents (my nice Aunty Sabina) needed a break… and they were surprised to see me pretty much still alive when they FINALLY showed up five hours later.

Are you sure he knows it’s a sweet potato not a meat potato aka cute hamster? :) (joking)

"Madam", who officially is Her Majesty...

Kid’s smart as hell

This is great, you now have an apple pie you DON'T have to share

That's ok. She still helped and enjoyed spending time with grandma.

Amazing isn't it what happens when a child is told they don't have to eat it. It's their choice, but the choice is between 'take it' or 'leave it'.

You cut it WRONG!

How do you measure things if he eats all the bananas?, or, as a kid I knew called them, "nabanas".

Whelp guess I'm not eating for the day and off to bed without food.

Story of my life

My daughter (about 2 or 3 at the time) asked what the brown spot on her banana was. I told her it was just a bruise. She then kissed the banana's boo-boo.

Lol

Just reading this is making my blood pressure go up. Thank you, BP, of curing my weird case of low blood pressure I had for three years. -_-

I mean… He’s not wrong

This sounds super tasty!!

5 year old, "We had chicken made from sheep for dinner." was the first clue we fed him chicken too often.

I totally get this... I want a quesadilla too, but not the calories in it.

Do people cut up grapes for kids??

More for me anyway

Always pick your battles. Pays off in the end.

Why IS it the family joke?

My 31 year old wife did this. We bought sweets, she ate her sweets. She then got sad because she didn't have any sweets!

I understand feeling ill, but the last bit seems very ungrateful of daughter and her boyfriend.

"Yeah, well I ain't Mommy."

Just for the flavor.

Is she a cat? 😆

I hope they mean when the kids were very little and not, like, yesterday

That’s a possible sign of legitimate sensory sensitivity. I’d keep an eye on any patterns that could emerge.

yeah we grew up eating what was served or went hungry. when my mom became a nana she also suddenly became a short order cook to please the grandchildren :)

Son went through a phase where he'd only eat hotdogs, cheese, applesauce. Beef hotdogs per dr, but he said don't sweat it. 5-6 months later he's eating everything. Weird

Dry mouth agony satisfied! All that was needed! That's why I always have water by my bedside.
