Did I do the right thing re: Lunch for the kids

[Rouge]

I cook they eat it. Or they go without. Or there's fruit.

I don't go out of my way to cook things they will hate and if it's a new food then I'll gladly let them have a sandwich. But the food may be restaurant quality (oh I am so funneeeee!) but it ain't a restaurant.

Today we had fish tacos for lunch. They ate it. DS pulled the salad out and said it fell out. So he had to eat it by itself. Next time he'll know that trick doesn't work and it actually tastes better altogether. But he didn't complain too much.

This is pretty much what happens in our house.

For tea it's like it or lump it here. Lunch? I too will ask DS "what do you want", but that's cos I know 90% of the time he'll just ask for a peanut butter sandwich. If he doesn't know, I say, would you like A or B. He's way too little to get it himself (although he does help himself to yoghurt and fruit). He gets his own brekky with a little help.

As someone said, if she's old enough and can't make a decision, too bad, get your own I reckon.
