The ‘My Kid Can’t Eat This’ Instagram Account Will Bring Back Memories
Hey friends! So, I stumbled upon this hilarious Instagram account called “My Kid Can’t Eat This,” and it totally took me down memory lane. I’m 49, and I can relate to these little ones more than I’d like to admit. Like that one kid who refuses to eat roasted peppers—can you blame them? If a pepper has been cooked or altered in any way, count me out. Just one touch of that mushy stuff in my sandwich, and it’s a lost cause. I mean, tomatoes? Sure, I can deal with those, but cooked peppers? Absolutely not!
And then there are those peaches. I’m convinced that “the last peaches” aren’t the same as the ones I remember loving. I want the good ones back, whatever they were! And don’t get me started on that sad little pickle with a fork stuck in it. Just look at it! As someone who swaps forks just because one feels a bit off, I totally get it.
Then there’s the classic dilemma: would you really want to eat the same food two days in a row? I’m with the kids on this one—why should we have to? It’s totally valid to want your plate just right, with the perfect fork, and maybe even some sprinkles to make it all better.
Honestly, I was the pickiest eater as a kid, with all sorts of rules about what I would and wouldn’t touch. And now, my little one, who is 7, is giving me a taste of my own medicine. I can’t complain, of course, because I brought this on myself! So, I find myself picking out the red berries from her cereal or modifying cookie recipes like a mad scientist just to keep her happy. It’s a bit ridiculous, but hey, it’s my way of making it up to her.
So here’s to our fussy kids! With the right plate and ideal settings, they’re just bound to be happy campers. If you’re curious about more parenting tips, check out this post about home insemination techniques that might just help you on your journey.
To wrap it up, kids and their food quirks can be a real trip down memory lane—just remember, it’s all part of the parenting gig!
