DD used to eat almost anything, and was happy to try new things. now, she is following many of the 'rules' of your kids. No foods touching, pasta is ok but if it has sauce on it it will kill me...

I try not to give it too much attention, but it is draining trying to think of meals she will eat, or presenting it in the appropriate form each time. if it's not right, she just doesn't eat. and then gets cranky, and doesn't sleep as well and gets cranky again.
