This commercial pisses me off
It's for Pediasure I think. Anyways, the mom in the commercial says her daughter is a picky eater and that it was affecting her growth and development so they supplemented.
The commercial just reeks of sh!tty parenting. Yes, some kids are picky. But it getting to a point where your kid is not growing and developing properly? Yeah, you suck.
Re: This commercial pisses me off
Oh yeah...That commercial is some BS. It's my opinion that kids are 'picky eaters' because their parents never told them that they were going to eat what was placed in front of them or they'll go hungry. I've never seen a kid hold out for one than one meal. Parents are afraid to call their kids bluff.
i hate the gerber graduates one too. microwavable "nutritious" meals with more sodium than any human being should consume in one sitting are so convenient! they can go back to slaying dragons (until he develops a heart condition and high blood pressure) after only 5 mins.
why can't we be more like the french. teach kids to appreciate what's in their food, how it's prepared, and enjoy the pleasure of eating it.
"mom" needs to GTFOHS and take 20 minutes to make the kid something actually nutritious to eat.
6let is having gerber ravioli for dinner. He lurves them so very much. I got them as a treat at the ILs, but we ended up going out to dinner. He'll get them tonight and tomorrow with other things too.
once in awhile, sure. i don't see a problem with it. hell, i feed miles mac and cheese and barely blink at it.
but anyone who does this every day, i give a long side eye too.
Crap...I Mean Crafts
Yes. The one where the Mom fills in the magically pyramid of food in her kitchen? Hate it.
My niece is a damn picky eater, but she doesn't get anything else other than what is for dinner. She has to take a bite of everything. She continues to be damn picky, but the family is trying to change that. We aren't caving and giving her Ensure for kids.
Niece was on pediasure *daily* for over THREE YEARS. And she used a bottle nipple to take it, too. at bedtime. Between that & 3+ years of nonstop pacifier use, it's no wonder her mouth looks the way it does. I hope the whole bankruptcy thing doesn't prevent her from getting the orthodontic help she will so desperately need.
Really, though, the kid wouldn't eat. Once, she ate 4 peas and said she was done. And she was just ashappy to run around after that meal as any other. Still, I think if they had stopped the pediasure, she might have actually started craving real food, you know?
Also, it's worth noting that pediasure is really for toddlers. I definitely see me telling DB1 and DB2 "eat this or eat nothing," but not for another year or two, at least. I can't exactly get my 15 month old to understand that, you know? And his brain still *really* needs nourishment during this time of rapid development.
We're kindof stuck on that now. Dex's favorite new thing is throwing food from the high chair. My inclination is to say "if you throw it again, dinner is over." But that might mean he got two bites of dinner, you know? And he's still too young to get that cause and effect. So we're looking for some sort of negative consequence that doesn't leave him starving and not understanding why.
