Stupid "Kid Friendly" Food Requests
Other than the constant menu of McDonalds and junk food, what weirdo food requests have you gotten from your guilty-disney-doormat daddies for their returning royalty? Before I disengaged, I got the most inane "special" food requests for the three hellions:
1. crusts cut off bread
2. microbe of peanut butter on PB&J sandwiches (mostly jelly on ghostly white bread completely devoid of all nutrition)
3. no grill marks on any food (hot dots, hamburgs etc.)
4. no sauce on spaghetti or rice, just butter and salt
5. straining out broth of chicken noodle soup so it becomes just "noodles"
6. chocolate milk made with a tablespoon of milk and half a bottle of hershey's syrup
Please feel free to add!

Heh heh, You are a better
Heh heh, You are a better person than I am. . .decaf!! She is of the starbucks sort. That being said, I"m sort of a coffee snob myself, but I"d never put down good money at Starbucks when I can make my own!!

I do keep some regular (nice stuff) for guests. Smelly drank all of it. Never said a word and left me the empty bag in the cupboard.
THIS pisses me off to no end. Except this is what the Lovebirds do. They eat all but the crumbs in the bottom of the bag/box of something or drink all but a tiny sip in the bottom of the milk/soda and then put the fucking container back for me to find the crumbs. why not just throw it out?? Does that make them feel like they didn't eat it all like freaking hogs if they leave crumbs in the bottom???
The only things I don't have to worry about disappearing when the Lovebirds are there are fruits, vegetables, toothpaste and soap.
Haha, SD16 did this recently.
Haha, SD16 did this recently. I bought some cookies for an outing. The first thing her fat butt see's when she gets up in the morning. Cookies. "oh are these for us". Luckily SO was there and said no they are for the neighborhood party. You can have one when you go to it.
On another note, SO actually made the comment that SD wasn't fat last night. Rose colored glasses.
Yes, this^^ It has changed so
Yes, this^^ It has changed so much. I guess more sedentary opportunities and more high cal foods.
SO is overweight so he doesn't help with all that. He has a bad candy addiction (just waiting to find him in a diabetic coma one day).
SD gets his body type and his eating habits, but not his need for physical activity.
Interesting how up to a year ago she was calling her mom fat and saying her mom had big legs and a big butt (her mom is built just fine). I guess she surpassed her mom's weight and I haven't heard her say anything like that in a while.
VD (SD13) once bragged that
VD (SD13) once bragged that she and "Grandma" (aka the Wookie, the Behemoth's BM) "ate chinese food till they BURST!" The Wookie is far and away over 300 lbs, and by "chinese food" i'm sure they meant "lo mein noodles with no spices and just butter/special order"
Ahhh the gluttonous cretins on the Behemoth's side of the family!!
The Lovebirds (SD13.5 and
The Lovebirds (SD13.5 and SS12.5) are pretty simple.... They just eat every chip, and candy in the house (when DH isn't making them steaks or something for their Lovebird dinner). When I got groceries on Saturday, I purposely left the chips I got in the car, so they wouldn't scarf them down and that was OK, because DH made a special trip to Walmart with them Saturday afternoon and got them 6 bags of junk food for their super special consumption.
Ha ha, great minds think
Ha ha, great minds think alike! I actually have a cupboard in the kitchen that is ONLY for BS1 and I made it crystal clear to everyone, including DH, that nobody was to touch that food. In our old house I had a hiding spot for it, so it didn't matter, but at the new house, I really don't have anywhere to hide it so I have a "keep filthy paws off" cupboard.
Oh this will be fun! Let's
Oh this will be fun! Let's see, they often request that Daddy take them to Fogo de Chao (a Brazilian steakhouse that costs at least $40/person) and that Daddy make them steaks for dinner. Luckily "daddy" knows I watch our budget like a hawk. The 4 y/o would ONLY eat rice pudding and cheese for every meal until I told DH that was a ridiculous diet for a child and refused to serve her either of these things until she ate something real. Oh and I dare not serve any of them vegetables unless they are saturated in ranch dressing.
Ugh, the chocolate milk is
Ugh, the chocolate milk is the most annoying. Do you really need to promote diabetes because you don't know how to be a parent and put your foot down? I refuse to buy chocolate syrup when I go grocery shopping, now. It's unnecessary, and I really don't want to deal with the sugar high after 4 or more daily cups of it.
DH used to previously request that I make "special" dinners for SS seperate from what everyone else was eating. Um, no, that stopped abruptly. I used to get requests like:
+macaroni & cheese w/ hot dogs
+frozen pizza
+peanut butter & jelly
+chicken nuggets w/ tator tots
+drops of lemon juice and sugar in his water if we were out of milk
Now he literally won't eat anything unless it looks like any of the above. It's so annoying, and I refuse to cater to his spoiled preferences most of the time. He is overweight, it may be inherited from BM but feeding him nothing but starches and all the nasty processed food he cries for isn't helping the matter. When he's here every other weekend, I spare myself the annoyance and make some kind of healthy homemade pizza or macaroni and cheese and just give him the hot dogs while we eat a hamburger and vegetable. It's better than sitting there the entire time listening to him cry and whine like a baby.
I think the "cheese pizza"
I think the "cheese pizza" and mcnuggets are universal.
Chicken fries, french fries, cheese pizza, brand name Kraft dinner (boxed mac & cheese), doritos, cheetos, oreos, reeses peanut butter cups, hot dogs (plain, no grill marks), all sandwiches with ghost bread, no crusts and NO veggies, gatorade, choco (emphasis on choco) milk, choco ice cream, syrup, choco sprinkles (heaping bowlfulls) Kids Kuisine. Sugary breakfast cereals, OR donut shoppe donuts, OR choco chip pancakes.
Nice diet, eh?
Those Perdue Breaded Chicken
Those Perdue Breaded Chicken nuggets in the refrigerated section and ketchup in bulk. She would lick the ketchup off the plate and eat maybe 1 nugget.
No yolks in the scrambled
No yolks in the scrambled eggs, only egg whites
No pepper on said eggs
No FAT on the steaks. We had NY strip steaks one night and the SK's each sawed and hacked away at their steaks for three small, choice morsels in the middle of it, the rest was "too fatty". 30 min later they broke out the giant bag of cheetos... which I'm SURE (sarcasm) has ZERO FAT in them.
No FAT on the bacon (see above)
Bacon should not be flimsy, but shouldn't be "dusty" either (I think he means really done to the point of being dry)
Apples in homemade apple pie need to be slighly crunchy, not all mushy.
One time my DH bought SIX different spaghetti sauces (giant jars, of course) and had his SK's TASTE TEST each one so he'd know exactly the RIGHT kind of sauce to tell me to buy from now on. Because after all.... "nothing" tastes as good as BM's spaghetti sauce.
And it goes on and on and on......

Mine do this too! but will sit there like yours and inhale a whole bag of cheetos or ruffles in a 5 minute period.. no fat there!
My DH got SOOOOOO tired of
My DH got SOOOOOO tired of seeing them do this (although our dog was THRILLED)... DH now CUTS UP the SK's steaks and gives it to them in itty bitty pieces. Meanwhile my 2 (younger than skids) kids get steaks and a steak knife to cut theirs up all by themselves.
Skids are 16 years old.
My SS16 is notorious for
My SS16 is notorious for using as much A1 sauce as possible on steak (he's also a bbq sauce fiend - yeah he has a condiment problem).
So bad that I stopped serving steak at home.
I told DH that since boy can't appreciate the flavor of the meat without drowning the damn thing - he can go without.
We go out for steaks (or wait until he's going to be at a friend's or his grandparents' house for the night).
Not a special food request,
Not a special food request, but SD 16 always annoys me with coffee. She'll want coffee ( I stopped making it FOR her). I make it when we have a guest or I want some. She'll say she loves coffee and wants some, then she takes two drinks and wastes the rest. DON'T DRINK IT THEN. Its like she doesn't understand that real brewed coffee isn't that crap that comes out of the machine at 7-11
Buy her a can of Nescafe and
Buy her a can of Nescafe and stir that up every time she wants a cup of coffee. I certainly hope you aren't wasting the good stuff on her (this coming from someone who roasts her own coffee beans, and NOBODY else in the house drinks the stuff)
Ha! In an attempt to keep the
Ha! In an attempt to keep the skids' weight down, we always substitute ground turkey for ground beef. We can't even remember what real ground beef tastes like anymore. I love it when the skids see it in the fridge and start complaining about how it tastes weird, etc., and then later when we serve it to them, they are none the wiser. Joke's on you! You think you are eating a greasy burger but really you are eating a lean turkey burger on a whole wheat bun! Of course, we can't tell them that because then all of a sudden it would be "gross."
The one that drives me
The one that drives me freaking crazy.....canned green beans. Can't get DH's kid to eat any vegetables except for canned green beans. Gag!
Do you have my SD12 living
Do you have my SD12 living with you? I NEVER had cans green beans in my home until her. It was always frozen or fresh (I can't stand mush!). Any other fruit or vegetable- forget it! And God forbid DH actually make her eat some. No wonder her sister (SD9) is almost as tall as her. :O
CTBB has some serious food
CTBB has some serious food issues, as does all of DH's family, DH and Sweetie Pie (Niece) are the only ones who haven't struggled with thier weight. I can't TELL you all the wierd stuff CTBB requested/ ate it would make me quite a blog hog! That combined with his utterly horrifying table manners made for an interesting time. :sick: The 3 hall of famers: 1. He would only eat an eggroll if it was split down the middle, pulled apart with his grubby hands, and doused in duck sauce. 2. He requested, and was allowed to order, a full lobster dinner at the age of 9, and weighing about 150. That was a diet day for me because watching the spectacle of his eating THAT sent my whole dinner stright to the doggy bag. :sick: 3.When he lived w/ us I would buy giant boxes and bags of cereal, snacks,etc, the rule was when you finished one off the large empty container was to be walked to the garbage outside.You can tell where this is going. I can't tell you how many times I found, say, a two pound size box of Honey Bunches of Oats with literally one flake and one cluster left in it on the shelf. Fun times!
SS won't eat ham...BUT will
SS won't eat ham...BUT will eat Canadian Bacon with no problem!
SD won't eat pizza - unless it is Pizza Hut or homemade pizza. Once we got a Take N Bake and told her it was Homemade Pizza Hut. She ate it without complaint.
Now SS is on a health kick. Good for him, I'd normally say. BUT his idea of "healthy" is not really healthy. Lean Cuisine has LOTS of additives and preservatives in it. Deli meat on white bread?? What is healthy about THAT? Well, according to SS, if he leaves off the mayo and cheese, then it is HEALTHY. Maybe healthi-ER but white bread is broken down into almost straight sugar and deli meat has WAY too much sodium.
"I make Lean Cuisine or
"I make Lean Cuisine or sandwiches" are what he responded with when I asked what PB made for him that was healthy.
Stupid me, I forget that PB would NEVER cook. :O
Skids wouldn't eat anything
Skids wouldn't eat anything that I made (homemade pizza which everyone raves about). Apparently the Behemoth told them not to eat my cooking so then GG would cook their special "kid friendly" junk food meals.
Canned green beans? You're lucky! GG's hellions never met a veggie they liked.
Ugh, I hate the food issue.
Ugh, I hate the food issue. There is nothing I make that they all like (besides maybe chocolate chip pancakes). SD12 hates any type of tomato sauce so much that I can't make spaghetti, lasagna, etc. Which is SD14 and BS10's favorite food. They would live off of pizza (hardly any sauce), plain buttered noodles, and chocolate chip pancakes if they could.
And the empty box thing drives me nuts too. I will leave them in the pantry and not buy any more cereal or granola bars, and when I get complaints I just say "what are you talking about? I looked in the pantry and there are at least 8 boxes of cereal in there! Oh, they are all nearly empty? Then I guess you better have one big bowl of mixed crumbs for breakfast, because I'm not buying any more until there is room for more in there!"
I used to get some silly
I used to get some silly requests for sugar filled flavored milks, soda, frozen crap (nuggets, etc) and things like that ("that's what we eat at mom's house") until the skids actually found out that they like homecooked healthy meals. But when dh cooks dinner he always tries to please them by skipping vegetables. It's hard for me to not get after him since I appreciate him doing the cooking once in a while...but recently I taught all three skids (3,4,and 6) about nutritionally balanced meals and they started asking to name the protein, carbohydrate, veggies, etc. of each meal. Now they ask him why he didn't make a balanced meal! haha I can only imagine what they say at their mother's about the garbage she feeds them....sorry lady....
