I have a picky eater too. She's been with me for 2 years and to this day will not even TRY drinking a smoothie. Everyone else loves them so I serve them often. There are some days where she almost doesn't eat at all. She will eat the carb portion of the meal, then say she's done and leaves the table because she knows that if she wants seconds she has to have to veggie/fruit/protein portion of the meal as well. she gets a (junkie) snack as soon as she gets home so she will starve herself anyways.

I've talked to parents and they've told me they encourage her to eat healthy at home. Which is a total FARCE!!! DCG has been telling me herself that mommy and daddy give her Kraft noodles while they eat "rice" or something. She talks about Kraft noodles ALL THE TIME. That and goldfish and milk I think are staple in her diet.

There isn't mich we can do. As lee bee said it's our job to put healthy food in front of them and thats it. I know I am not going to get into a big power struggle over it nor am I going to force her to eat. The parents know how I do things, the rest is on them.
