I have a little girl right now who is picky with veggies: french fried potatoes - no other way, pepper strips, celery sticks, raw carrots only, and corn are the only veggies she will touch. But thankfully she eats all other food. So once in a while I give myself a break and just serve pancakes and sausages and fruit for lunch to give myself a break from trying to serve the same veggies again that week. I always make one of her veggies and one other that all the others will eat every day at lunch.
Then I had a boy who wouldn't eat combined foods like a casserole or crockpot meal or chili. I'm soooooo glad he's gone! There were days when I served one of these foods and he sat there at the table gagging until he made himself throw up, then I called his Mom and told her that according to my vomit policy she had to come get him. Rules are rules.
Just do your best to cope with the picky eaters and if you serve something he won't eat he's only hurting himself, not you. And hopefully when he finally figures that out he'll start eating. Just give him a tablespoon full of everything you serve all the others and if he eats it you can give him a little more. That way you aren't throwing lots of food in the garbage.
