So my FH is a cook, who prides himself on his amazing cooking skills (not without good reason, as the current mass of my @ss will attest). He has a daughter who is a finicky eater, and regularly drives him to distraction. He tries to make things she'll eat, and when he tries new things he ends up doing an impressive vaudeville routine to get her to eat (all that's missing is the top hat and cane, I swear!) He asks me to help with this; my answer is, stop catering to her wants. He says, but if I don't she won't eat anything.
