If There Was a Problem..YO..I'll solve it..
I have turned into a fucking lunatic. I seriously have so beware of this post.
I had a dilema, so I delt with it the best way a first time mother would. Again, I am a lunatic. (did I say that already)
Lil' Miss Pissy likes to take 2 bites of something when I put it down in front of her..pick up the bowl and say "All done"...I have had this problem with her for a while and instead of yelling at her to "EAT THE GODDAMNED APPLE SAUCE" I decided to do the logical, grown up thing.
I pick up the bowl, spoon up some of whatever the flavor of the day is..pretend like the spoon is an airplane and shove it in her hole. She just giggles with excitement. AND..best of all.. that fucking Elmo Applesauce that I buy does not go to waste.
It fucking works and I don't care if my husband walks by and bursts out laughing at these lovely sounds and gestures that I make to her to get her to eat. It fucking WORKS!

Girl, you gotta do what you gotta do!
I'm tellin ya, many times I'd be playing a mean game of checkers with chicken nuggets with my son when he was about 2 to get him to eat the damn things. I'd put 'em on a plate-and he'd take his fat hands and push 'em away. He still doesn't eat 'em. Maybe I've scared him for life. Eeek!-

Pissy, When we're in California,
I swear to God,
if you pick up a fucking fork and make airplane noises
and try to feed me something,
I'll fucking die.-

Next time the husband tries to get a little action, make the airplane noises when he is, um, going in for landing.

Kimmyk-I am glad I am not the only one actin a fool like this.

SFG-Umm..if I do that..he might never touch me again, because if he did that to me..OH hell no..I don't even want to thinka bout it.

Ya gotta do what you gotta do. It's demeaning to be a mommy, but it's either that or the benevolent neglect that so many of us grew up with. Not that that's necessarily bad. But wasting applesauce? That's just unacceptable. Eat up, kid.
kimmyk: that might not be a bad thing, since chicken nuggets made the top of the worst foods for kids list...again. Not that that stops me from shoving them down the littles' throats. Lovingly, of course.-

Don't under estimate the power of the choo choo train, either. It's especially effective if you say "Chugga chugga" while you're shoveling it in and then the "choo choo" part when she's chewing. Cause see - then you're being psycho AND punny at the same time. You can at least play it off.

Argh. My two year old is a complete bugger when it comes to eating. She eats like, the air around a crumb of food, takes the crumb and flings it away. Then she chucks her plate across the table and says, "Down!"
