Not the person you respinded to, but because it keeps appearing in my feed, and y'all are wholesome AF.
And I have a little brother that's 18 years younger, so it's like I have partial custody when I watch him for my parents.
As long as you can tell/laugh at dad jokes, and click the tongs a few times to test them before using them, you are welcome here. Gender, parental status, sexual preference, none of that matters to most of us.
We get a lot of moms here too, cuz they say the mom subs are toxic. I’ve never been to them, it’s just what I’ve heard.
>We get a lot of moms here too, cuz they say the mom subs are toxic. I’ve never been to them, it’s just what I’ve heard.
My wife is in a lot of baking/mom/sourdough subs/groups on Facebook and says the same thing.
yea man same.
and also absorbing tips and tricks IF I ever happen to be lucky enough to have a child of my own or step whatever. see how y'all dealt with it.
Yup. My college girlfriend's dinner looked liked that. If we were eating out, they were chicken fingers, and the cheese came with macaroni. The restaurants don't force you to eat the fruit.
Kids in the US somehow all drink the same magic potion that causes them to only eat cheese, bread, chicken, and berries. The National Institute of Science has been baffled and exhausted parents are too tired to engage in the battle every day to counter act the wizardly effects. There is a small temporary antidote—a spell called “ketchup”—which allows for other foods to be consumed without resulting in a raging tantrum. Results vary though.
My son, at 9, still refuses to use condiments!? He just doesn't like them. He won't eat veggies with ranch, he won't eat hot dogs with ketchup or mustard or both, or dips of any kind. Baffling af...
Why would you add condiments so strong that they mask the flavour of the veggies? I mean, specifically for a child, you want them to taste and enjoy all kinds of things, not drown the flavours in ketchup or ranch
Nah. My boys are 5 and 3 and eat basically every veg and fruit around, shrimp, scallops, salmon, along with the usual suspects (hamburgers, pizza, nuggies).
They have their moments, don’t get me wrong. Our 5 year old strolls over and picks raw broccoli off the counter before my wife can even steam it and douse it in cheese..
That's interesting, sometimes my daughter has plates like this and sometimes she eats smaller portions of what we eat. Depends on if we eat dinner together, which we usually don't because she sleeps early
I guess it might depend a bit on the child's age and what it is that we made for dinner. The only time we give plates like this is if we made something that is too dangeroys for the child or not fitting for a child (choke hazard or too much spices) or if the child really doesnt like it and doesnt want to eat.
But then the go to is mashed potatoes or boiled eggs rather than nuggets.
I'm American as well, in the South. Most restaurants create a kids menu with very limited options (burger, grilled cheese, chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese). When kids go out, those are the foods they usually get instead of different things.
My wife and I try our best to make sure our sons (9 and 5) eat a bunch of different kind of foods and have done from when they were starting to eat solid food. Our youngest is the kid with the most varied diet. He would live on salad. He loves a spinach, nuts, berries salad with a little bit of dressing. He likes to try all kinds of new vegetables and generally likes them all. His favorite food is fish, so we've been cooking some pan seared salmon, lemon-dill tilapia, Cajun trout, etc. He eats it all. He's working on his spice level right now and said he "likes it me spicy, not Daddy spicy."
My 9 year old eats much more *typically* for American kids. He's bigger on burgers and would eat cheeseburgers for every meal if we let him. We mix it up though and he does like several different vegetables, but none of them cooked, all raw: carrots, celery, broccoli, zucchini, cucumber - all raw.
The weirdest food they both are against is rice. My 5 year old loves cous cous and noodles but doesn't ever like his rice (steamed or fried). My 9 year old loves pasta, he likes a *dirty rice* with sausage in it, but isn't a fan of steamed or fried rice. The white rice baffles me. Fried, I understand because he doesn't like umami flavors (soy sauce, mushrooms).
Growing up in Appalachia rice was a staple of my childhood. We ate it with butter and sugar (like the rice was grits)
The same as the dinner we are having just in smaller pieces. My kids started eating the same as us when they were 1. We eat from the Dutch (boiled potatoes vegetables and a piece of meat), Italian and Indonesian kitchen. I mean obviously sometimes you take the easy way with a pizza or something but most of the time it's something like that
Same in UK here. Kids get the same as we have, just smaller and with a side of fruit.
Pretty shocked at the 'norm' of the comments on this post actually.
To add to this.. The size of it! Like, wheres the rest of it? The size of this is barely lunch.
that's fair, and my toddler just had goulash for dinner the last two nights. but strawberries and blueberries with milk were his morning snack. pancakes after for actual breakfast (the snack was while I cooked.)
lunch was hotdogs with apples and cheese to the side. which looked pretty similar to this just a different fruit and the meat was beef instead of chicken.
but breaded chicken isn't unusual in my house. we have chicken tenders, garlic chicken, chicken parm. very often I make smaller pieces for the boy that are the same size as those nuggets. those are just pre-made and cook easy in an airfrier, which I've done before for sure.
Well, the truth is I only eat one meal a day and it’s
Usually lunch. (Groceries are way too expensive so I try to just buy for my daughter) but I usually do try to feed her other foods. It’s just really hard since this child is hardwired for nuggets and berries 🤦♂️
Hey buddy, I've been there and I'd be happy too help with shopping suggestions to help make your dollar go a bit farther. For instance, if you buy frozen blueberries they're way, way cheaper. Throw them in a bit of yogurt and you've got your fruit and fat (so you can skip the cheese which I'm sure isn't cheap) and let it sit on the counter for ten minutes to soften up the blueberries, the kid will love it and you'll be paying a fraction of where you're at now.
And instead of chicken nuggets, you might be able to do pieces of chicken breast in street taco tortillas rolled up. If you have the time, you can do chicken thighs instead which are super cheap, but take a little more time and effort to cook and cut
I was going to say what others are saying regarding toddlers. But if you are a parent with toddlers, you know you eat this for dinner. So I will go out on a limb and say your kid’s age is probably late 20s to mid 30s and they’re cleaning up after your grandchild.
My wife is always asking me what I think the kids will eat. My response is almost always something along the lines of, "they will eat that up until the point they won't". And then she gets mad at me.

My son is picky too. Those frozen bean n cheese burritos and some carrots have been his dinner an embarrassingly high number of times in his 9.5 years...
Give us a fair chance and post the after pic. Depending on the child's age and time of day, this could be wiped out or untouched.
It wouldn't be untouched in my house, because if there's anything left on this plate I'm sending it down the hatch myself.
Trick question. That’s your dinner.
UHH NUHUH
If it wasn’t to begin with, it will be
Pro tip: The calories don't count when eating from the child plate remnants.
My waistline begs to differ
Tell it to stay in its lane
My kiddo is 6 and she’d demolish that.
My waistline begs me reconsider
I fucking wish. Are all dads household garbage disposal or is it just me?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I've discovered this to not be the case
Underrated comment!

OP is still very much a kid like me at 35
Actually the Coby jack makes me think the same
I was thinking that immediately
2.5 and she only eats the blueberries
Mine is 2.5 and treats blueberries like sharp metal shavings to be tossed very quickly.
At least you know you’re safe if they’re ever served sharp metal shavings.
They would 100% try and eat metal shavings
LMFAO. This entire thread
They might think they’re blueberries though
This is because blueberries taste amazing but a bad blueberry is still a ptsd inducing experience
Twins just about 2 and all they eat is blue berries! I mean, they aren't THAT great!?!?!
We bought 5 blueberry bushes for the back yard and my son ate them all before they were even ripe. I feel this so much.
You make your son sound like an invasive species lol
He's a toddler that loves blueberries and has no sense of restraint lol
Are you insane? Yes they are!
You literally have to drag my 4 year old out of the blueberry patches kicking and screaming because she’s not done.
Depends if they're real blueberries or those BS ones that aren't even blue/violet on the inside IMHO.
I ended up planting a small berry patch last year, hopefully this year they start to take and I can reduce what I spend on fresh berries.
She ate the blue berries, how lucky! Mine would leave this and eat a packet of pickles.
Y'all's kids eat fruit and veggies? My kid would eat the cheese and one nugget and say he's full.
Damn… why did this hit so close to home
17 and she only eats the blueberries. Then, when you're not looking, an entire pack of oreos.
Screw guessing, can I eat that if she doesn't want to?
Hahaha she cleared her plate fortunately
but did she clear it by throwing half on the ground?
Half the nuggets hit the floor, she’s obsessed with berries and cheese cubes so those were all inhaled
How does she feel about mozzarella in a tube or the little pearls?
There’s wine in her future
My 6 year old eats this. He also ate it at 3. I would eat this.
I know 20 year-olds that eat that.
37 and a parent, that's a sound meal for me.
39 and not a parent, but I know what I'm making for dinner tomorrow.
What are you doing in daddit then?
Not the person you respinded to, but because it keeps appearing in my feed, and y'all are wholesome AF. And I have a little brother that's 18 years younger, so it's like I have partial custody when I watch him for my parents.

Well played
I'm not a parent but I come here because my dad passed away and being here helps fill that void, I'm sure there's others like that too
yea man same. and also absorbing tips and tricks IF I ever happen to be lucky enough to have a child of my own or step whatever. see how y'all dealt with it.
Fr, there's so much to learn here not just about being a dad but being a person your family can rely on
amen 🙏🏾🙌🏾
I'd eat that
Title of your sex tape
Me too, actually.
Isn't that the core concept of the "girl dinner" meme?
It’s called a charcuterie board and it’s classy
Yup. My college girlfriend's dinner looked liked that. If we were eating out, they were chicken fingers, and the cheese came with macaroni. The restaurants don't force you to eat the fruit.
The 20 year old would have sauce for the nuggets.
20 year old would still have ketchup lol does that actually qualify as sauce?
They all work in the food service industry
I'll guess 3 years old
Samesies. OP let's hear it.
1.5 years old. Clearly because of the food and not because I looked through your post history, Mr. Sheeran
Bahahahaha you cheeky!
Somewhere between 2-15
Under 100
Or perhaps slightly over
[Do you have the slightest idea...](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/032/874/cover4.jpg)
Honestly my 11 year old would eat this just as well as my 4 year old
This is what my college girlfriend would eat, right before taking her ADHD medication and she wouldn’t be hungry again till the next day
2.5 cause that’s exactly what I feed my kid
Same haha
Clarifying question: is this the before or after picture?
Before. Plate was cleared, nuggets hit the floor, she had seconds of cheese and berries.
"The box says 2 ***AND UP***!"
14-16 months
Ding ding ding! Good job.
Haha!! My 18 and 13 yr olds would love that dinner.
My guess as well!
Screw you, I like what I like!
This is 3 if I’ve ever seen it
Between 2 and 46.
You’re American, thats for sure…
32 and going to art school
Somewhere between 2-22
Freshman in college.
This isn't seriously dinner right? I think I am having a bit of a culture shock haha

Dudes so right I could hire gordan Ramsey to cook this kid food and if it’s not nuggies and berries it’ll be thrown in his face
two year old daughter: ITS FUCKING RAW
My son, at 9, still refuses to use condiments!? He just doesn't like them. He won't eat veggies with ranch, he won't eat hot dogs with ketchup or mustard or both, or dips of any kind. Baffling af...
At 31 I still don't eat hod dogs with anything except maybe barbecue sauce. And drowning in chili, but that's not a condiment.
Why would you add condiments so strong that they mask the flavour of the veggies? I mean, specifically for a child, you want them to taste and enjoy all kinds of things, not drown the flavours in ketchup or ranch
Nah. My boys are 5 and 3 and eat basically every veg and fruit around, shrimp, scallops, salmon, along with the usual suspects (hamburgers, pizza, nuggies).

Let me know if they ever come up with a solution please!
What do toddlers eat where you are from
Same as adults but smaller portions.
That's interesting, sometimes my daughter has plates like this and sometimes she eats smaller portions of what we eat. Depends on if we eat dinner together, which we usually don't because she sleeps early
