Isn't Hambuger "meat"? Not to SD I suppose

round2's picture

We have SD on Tuesday nights. FDH takes her to gymnastics from 7p-8p on Tuesdays, back to our house afterwards. BM does not work (shock) and sometimes feeds SD before we pick her up and sometimes she doesn't. We never know if she is going to need dinner or not.

She is a super picky eater - if you ask her what she wants to eat she will tell you 'meat'. Forget vegetables and salads. So, I decided to be safe last night and made hamburgers - meat, smart of me, right? Nope...

They got in from gymnastics and she took one bite of her burger and declared that is was not gourmet hamburger like her mother makes and said she was not hungry any longer. WTF?!! It took everything in me not to come unglued. I am a vegetarian FFS and was trying to be accomodating to the little shit head.

I (calmly) sent her upstairs to take her shower and to get ready for bed and told FDH - I am done, feed her drive thru crap on Tuesdays because there will not be a hot dinner waiting on these nights.

He aplogized and said he did not blame me. Thank god he did make her anything else to eat - I would have actually lost it if he had.

I dread Tuesdays

UGH! Spoiled brat. I used to dread Tuesdays as that's when DH spends "extra" time with SD14 as well. Since we moved to the smaller apartment, he's agreed to spend that extra time away from home, that way I don't have to dread coming home to that same kind of shit you're describing above.

At least your DH backed you. That's the silver lining in all that.

Any way you can avoid being home during their Tuesday nights? Does she spend the night or just a little while and go home?

Oh how I miss those days. NOT!

DH's kid once claimed that she was no longer eating pork, because it was gross and slimey. This was announced after I spent a Sunday afternoon preparing an elaborate pork roast dinner with all the fixings (including dessert).

I said fine, don't eat the roast. Eat the vegetables. And from now on, we will not keep ham or bacon in the house.

His kid asked why? I looked at her like she was nuts and said "You just told me you don't eat port. Ham and bacon are made from pork. So we won't keep in the house when you're around. I'm just trying to be considerate of your feelings."

Then she declared "I still eat ham and bacon. They're made from cows."

I so wanted to kick her a**. Little brat.

Ahh yes, my SD is just as "Bright" as yours!!!!!!!!! She thought China and Japan were the same country, just split down the middle because all the people who live there "look exactly the same with their slanty eyes" (her words, not mine) and that she couldn't believe you could ACTUALLY SEE the clouds move in the sky!! (at age 13, mind you).

DH's kid wanted to be a Buddhist so she could dole out Karma to people. In fact her first act of Karma was to punch a boy in the arm for being a jerk to one of her friends.

The Buddhist thing was dropped when I explained to her they are Pacifists.

She was 13 at the time.

OH EMMM GEEEEEE- you have got to be kidding me, Thats bad!!!!! hahahahahahaha What the hell????!!!!

LAst time SD15 was over she asked us who Adam and Eve were............ And they are christians- not like there is a whole different religion she knows nothing about, she didn't have a clue.

SD20 didn't know what a quarter was till 6th grade- FDH tells me all kinds of dumb things she has said and done. He honestly thinks SD20 is such an idiot bc he used to party all the time when she was conceived and had messed up sperm LOL

You just have to wonder you know? My daughter is so far advanced from SD and she's only 6 mos older than SD. They're both 14. You'd never know it by having A). looked at them side by side or B). conversed with them.

It has to be the way DH and BM raised these kids - to be so damn dumb and dependent. I guess when my daughter cried she didn't know how to complete a simple task and I actually MADE HER RESPONSIBLE for herself, I was the smart parent. SD14 couldn't put a damn trash bag in the trash bin or tie her damn shoes LAST YEAR!!!!!!!! UGH!

I wouldn't cook another thing for the brat!!

Ugh I hate food problems with the kids. DH is allergic to chicken. SD16 every once in a while likes to pretend she is allergic to chicken. Then the next day she comes home with chicken nuggets from McDonalds. She tells me its not chicken. Um ok. A week or two later I made chicken cutlets. Guess who ate them??

The funny thing is one day SD asks me what happens to daddy when he eats chicken. I totally lied to her and told her that it makes his right arm hurt and he throws up. In reality his throat swells and he gets chest pains. So the next time I made chicken for the kids, stupid SD is running around holding her arm heaving like she is gonna throw up. DH comes out of the bedroom and is like what the f**k. I told him my lie. He almost died laughing!! Little faker!!

RWF - she spends the night on Tuesdays. I am going to feed my kids, clean the kitchen and they can eat at a drive thru or forage for something on their own.

It doesn't matter what i make, she never likes it.

Spaghetti - wrong type of noodles
Mac & Cheese - not cheesy enough
Salmon - not the right glaze
Hamburgers - not gourmet
Brisket - just doesn't like it

I am done done done cooking for this brat. She could stand to miss a few meals anyway

When DH was CP, I stopped cooking and eating with his kid. She was nothing but trouble. Would gag and sound like she was vomiting when she ate my food. I put my foot down with DH, feed your brat before I get home from work. I want her out of my site while I cooking and eating our dinner.

Got ya. Yeah, I'm with you. If she has to shoot down everything you cook, she gets to fend for herself or not eat at all! LOL

I do love you guys...

You always hit the nail on the head.

When SD16 moved home she sat and ate every meal I made, this was as long as I was doling out money, and taking her to the doctor and dealing with her schooling. Once the gig was up and I caught her stealing jewelry, failing school because of disrespect ect, she stopped showing up to the dinner table and started living on cereal.

I told DH 3 weeks ago, I will no longer include her in meals unless you verify she is eating.

Saturday I worked, I left the makings for a batch of soup for him to put together, walked him through it by phone. He calls her to dinner and she refuses to eat it.

A couple of days later I asked him how that felt, to make sure dinner was on the table and then the little snot turn her nose up at it..

Im still waiting for an answer

There is a sign in a restaurant in town that I love.

"We have the following choices for dinner - Take it or Leave it"

DH does the same thing! What I hate is when we go out to eat, and he asks her to decide!

Ummmmmm DH, as long as they have chicken strips she'll eat there. So how about if the adults decide and not your kid??

They all must do the same thing. What I think is stupid is watching them ask for the same thing for breakfast EOW when they come and him having to tell them we don't have any of whatever they asked for! Blum 3 Really DH? After 3 years of your youngest one saying she wants a bagel, you still haven't figured it out before Saturday morning to BUY SOME!! :jawdrop:
