Is it fine for a 3 year old to eat a hot dog? I mean, a normal one? Don't know enough about child rearing but i guess if the child's teeth are developed enough they can eat it if it is cut up in small pieces so as to prevent choking. on another note my rage against this man warrants me to find him and go Jigsaw on him and kill him by force feeding him hotdogs until he dies. |

Uh....it was the stepdad. The mom had nothing to do with it.

Hmm, another young step parent kills his/her step child.
Isolated, unrelated incidents, again.

my mom used to cut my hot dogs into bits, and this was until I was 8 or 9, of course I did have dental problems that made it hard to chew.
Also, my mom just wouldn't let me have dessert unless/until I finished my dinner, which is the reasonable punishment for not eating dinner. Hitting a child at all for not eating is simply terrible parenting.

Also, my mom just wouldn't let me have dessert unless/until I finished my dinner, which is the reasonable punishment for not eating dinner. Hitting a child at all for not eating is simply terrible parenting. My mom was pretty reasonable when it came to food. She knew to feed us portions that we can deal with and will be able to eat. However, sometimes she would give us too much or we may not have been as hungry so we couldn't finish our meals, then she would either let us put it up for leftovers or if there isn't much left on the plate to save anyways, we would be allowed to throw it away. I was one of those kids that was a picky eater and wouldn't eat anything but my favorite food. For example I had thing about bread and butter as well as PB&J. My mom would allow me to eat those things but she also made sure that I got my nutrition by encouraging me to try other things even if I may not like them. It's that question "How do you know you'd like it if you don't try it." She didn't force me to eat anything that I really didn't like (like corn, I still hate corn but I love spinach.) I also had a habit of throwing food/not finishing food at school and my mom devised a punishment that if I didn't eat my food at school (she must've found out from teachers or saw the uneaten half of a sandwich in my bag or something.) then I would have to eat liver. Well that backfired because it turns out that I actually love liver along with the mushrooms and onions. I haven't had liver in a while though and now that I think about it, I want some! My mom never was like the guy that I mentioned before and never was like the guy in the article. She was strict with food but not too strict and understood what we needed. She encouraged us to eat and try different things and that I am glad for because now, I am willing to try something just once to see if I like it or not and now I am eating things like sushi. Children have stages where they may not like certain foods but a parent must encourage the child to try it, perhaps give them a reward (desert, candy) for taking a few bites of a food that they may find out that they actually like. The child in this case, didn't want hotdogs, now I don't know the entire circumstance but if she ate hotdogs before and didn't like them then perhaps they should have done something with the hotdog to make it more appetizing. Perhaps she wasn't as hungry, in that case, put the damn hotdog back in the fridge and warm it up later when she is hungry. Not to hard to do that. |

Forget the Angry Universe, I will be in Rage'lyeh.
I read something like this in a book, The Curious Incident of the Poodle at Night-Time. The boy in the book was autistic, and there were certain foods he didn't want to heat. The mother got frustrated with him one day, and...um, I don't remember what happened after that. I do remember the kid being terrified of her, though, and that it facilitated the divorce of the mother and father.
Autism, stubbornness, or otherwise, this was very not okay. Insert your own TVTropes link there. Or join me in Rage'lyeh.

For me, the problem wasn't flavor. Because I dislike the taste of brussel sprouts, but if you put some in front of me, I'll eat them just because.
No, the problem was texture. Certain textures did and will still get me vomiting.
I can't eat mashed or baked potatoes to this day. Or mushrooms. Not even delicious portabella mushrooms that happen to be all slimy and ewwwuughhh.

Texture for me, too. I love mushrooms, but they're so slimy.
I also can't stand the idea of mixing foods. To this day I segregate my food very strictly so it doesn't touch, and don't use condiments (barring salt and pepper) because they ruin the flavor and texture.

To this day I segregate my food very strictly so it doesn't touch, and don't use condiments (barring salt and pepper) because they ruin the flavor and texture. I find condiments work well only with certain consistencies, and only in certain amounts. Essentially, I like small amounts of condiments. Spread thinly. I don't want enough condiments to count as a mouthful of their own. With things like fries... I love ketchup with crinkle-cut fries, hate it with normal fries. And then there's the fact that I love fries and tater tots but hate mashed potatoes and baked potatoes and fried potatoes. No, not even I can explain that, it confuses me. As far as mixing foods, I totally agree. It's nasty stuff. Hell, I have to fight my gag reflex when I see Dad mix Sloppy Joes into his mashed potatoes. :x |

It's interesting to consider how the tastes change as one grows out of childhood.
Along with (I suspect) most children raised in the so called Western Civilisation, I tended to hate the foods that were 'good for you' (like Mrs Yankovic's big ol' bowl of sauerkraut - every single day!) - particularly brussels sprouts and liver.
Nowadays I will eat pretty much anything except for tripe (the lining of a cow's stomach) and black pudding (blood sausage/bludwurst). I don't really like corn, on the cob or otherwise, but I will eat it if it is served.
However, I now love brussells sprouts and can make a meal of a plate of them, steamed. I am also partial to liver, lamb's liver by preference, but I will eat pig liver and even ox liver.
I'm also quite game to try those 'different' foods found in foreign parts - mealie worms, various grubs, fried spiders, locusts etc., etc.
Plus, of course, I love sushi!

I have the same problem with fruit, I can't stand the texture of most fruits, I do like many fruit juices, as long as they are well strained to remove all the pulp, and jams and yogurts, again as long as there's no solid fruit in them. I especially hate tomato, I can barely look at a piece of sliced tomato without wanting to throw up. |

Well, then you’re doing it right. ‘Cause you are only supposed to use condiments in those cases where they can improve the flavor and/or texture. And, of course, what constitutes improvement is always subjective. |
