Remember when food was simply fuel for your body? Yeah, me neither. Parenting transforms everything, especially how we approach meals. The days of preparing one family-friendly dish and enjoying a hot meal are long gone…

1. Every phase is temporary! Just like that toy your toddler decided to swallow; it too shall pass.
2. During long car rides, feel free to let your kids indulge in whatever convenient snacks you can grab—sometimes, it’s better to just survive.
3. If you consider ketchup a vegetable, your child is probably getting a fair share of nutrients.
4. When the ice cream truck rolls around, tell your kids it’s a mobile vegetable stand. They’ll thank you (someday).
5. If it’s already 6 PM and dinner isn’t ready, declare it “Reverse Day” and happily serve breakfast for dinner. Just keep it to a maximum of six nights a week!
6. Always have an emergency veggie platter in the fridge. When other parents visit, whip it out to showcase your responsible side.
7. Eating your kids’ Halloween candy is basically a noble sacrifice—protecting them from cavities in the process.
8. Look for chances to enhance your child’s reading skills; deciphering ingredient lists on snacks is a great way to do this.
9. Teaching toddlers the art of sneaking candy into movie theaters is just the first step in fostering their financial independence.
10. Accepting that “meal” stands for “Mommy Eats, Always Last” will help you embrace the reality of cold dinners.
