ughh I have one and it's driving me bonkers!!

Mom did warn me in the begining that she is "stubborn" and only eats a few items. She sent me an email with her 'menu':

For breakfast I usually give her Quaker instant oatmeal, but she also really like pancakes and waffles. Lunch; her fav's are grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, salami sandwiches. Dinner; she loves Kraft dinner, thats honestly what she eats most of the time. Drinks; her favorite is chocolate milk. She's ok with water and juice too, usually in that order.

Well child must be getting tired of eating the same things over and over & she's testing me to no-end....she wont eat in the last two weeks without a serious battle. I mean today 1.5hrs for her "favorite" sandwich that she asks for e.v.e.r.y lunch. PB&J.....I was at my witts-end and didn't want to give up and let her starve but I can't do this anymore. She pretends to eat the food - she stuffs the food in her cheeks and chews air, you THINK she's eating but her mouth is still full of the first bite! also unless you're constantly telling her to chew, eat, not in your cheeks, chew, eat, swallow etc. she won't take another bite without being told either.

I tried the patient & drill-sargent....I think now I'm just going to try the cut off time limit. 45min should be enough time to eat lunch. If not then nothing else. A big cup of chocolate milk (she has a medicaly-required high calorie diet) and thats it!

At p/u I tell mom that she didn't eat, maybe one bite and mom says "ughh she is so stubborn..." - I know mom also has a hard time with her eating.....I'M LOST FOR IDEAS!
