Tricks for introducing solids to a stubborn baby

[KenToad]

Friskies probably have too much Fructose anyway.

That was right before she joined the X-Men, right?

Maybe Carlos can get the baby to eat solids. 

Here's one of the original articles about the deadly peanut kiss..  However, while looking it up I also found that, while it was at first believed and widely reported that she had an allergic reaction to the kiss, the coronor later ruled that she actually died of an asthma attack unrelated to her peanut allergy.

Shmokes, you DID try violently shaking her to straighten her out, right?

Mebbe a swat on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper?

Ugh . . . I wish, for once, you could be helpful.  I'm not retarded.  Those were the methods of first resort.  The choo choo train wasn't even attempted until the shaking and smacking proved ineffective.

It's been 16 years since I had to deal with this.  That was about as helpful as I could be, since we just beat the kids into submission, at which point they were going to eat whatever was put in front of them just to stop the beatings.  And NO, my kids did NOT get fat from eating Friskies, PLUS it was easier to buy the biggest bag to save money.

Enjoy this time while you can.  Mine are 16, 17, & 18.  They're like goats now, and I'm surprised they even bother opening a can or bag instead of just eating the whole thing.  In fact, we count on the bags being a source of fiber for them so that we can chalk up another point in the "We're a good parent" column.

You'll be surprised at how your child will learn to manipulate you into doing if you worry so much about stuff like this.  Well, MAYBE you'll be surprised.  Me, I'll just sit back and enjoy hearing about all the different "struggles" we go through as parents - some of them, our own fault.

You and the missus are doing FINE as parents, I'm sure of it.  Count yourself lucky if this is the biggest problem you have with her.  And don't forget, a shaking is fine to keep the kids in line

My 14-year-old son is more like a wild boar than a goat. He's smelly, dirty, fat, hairy, and has a temper like a boar, too. Fortunately his teeth are straight so he doesn't have tusks like a boar.

On the plus side, I'm learning sheetrock repair from fixing the holes he's put in the wall.

[ChadTower]

Is he bigger than you or something?

[Buddabing]

He's taller than me and 220 pounds to my 190.

[horseboy]

Taller than you at 14. Sheesh, he must be a monster. Wait until he is 16.

 

You'll never ground him again.

[ChadTower]

That's not good.  Even after I became bigger than my grandfather, had I intentionally put a hole in the wall, I'd have been learning to repair it myself with one of his boots on my neck and the other up ---my bottom---.
