[QUOTE="nvts, post: 210926, member: 3814"] You know, my kids HATED soup until recently. I started making it for me as an "appetizer" so naturally it was "can I try yours?" "can I have a sip" and the best "wow! I really like that...can I have some?" I've come up with a theory. It's a three parter: 1. If they claim they don't like something, re-name it. My kids hated "sausages" because they thought that all sausage was sweet italian sausage. Call the breakfast sausage "meat sticks" and they'll eat a box each! 2. They hate EVERYTHING until they see Mom enjoying it. Then they not only want what your having, but they also want their own. 3. Kids HATE swiss cheese. Not my favorite, although I enjoy it...it's something that I put on EVERY sandwich that I make for myself so they won't ask for a bite. I've been known to lay a slice on a pancake just to keep the demons off my plate. If you want them to stay away from your plate, put swiss cheese on it. Swiss Cheese is to kids what garlic is to Vampires. Those are my motherly instincts. Self-preservation is key! Anyone asking why I have 3 difficult child's? Hmmmmmm.... Beth [/QUOTE]
