We're a family of 5 on a limited budget and I'm getting sick and tired of DD1 messing about with her food and binning half of it.
She's lied to us for years about the food she likes and has, over the past 3 months, reduced the variety of food she eats to a ridiculously small amount.
Today it's come out that she doesn't like -
chicken,
steak,
sausages,
any veg apart from potatoes (but only as potato gems) broccoli and cauliflower (but only as brocolli/cauliflower cheese) and raw carrots,
pizzas (unless they're ham and cheese),
fish,
seafood,
pork,
gravy,
breakfast cereals,
milk,
yogurt,
fresh fruit,
rice
any Mexican food unless she can cover it in cheese and sour cream,
Indian food,
Chinese food,
bread,
sandwiches of any kind
and pasta (unless it's covered in cheese)
She will happily live on ice cream, cakes, chips, crisps, chocolate and Maccas.
I've really had enough of her not eating the food we cook for her and as she's got her own income I'm tempted to make her buy her own food and cook for herself, but I'm worried that she'll pile on the weight (she's currently a size 6) and will end up eating junk food all day every day.
So, I'm passing it over to the wisdom of Mumsnet - AIBU to make an 18 yr old with her own income buy and cook her own food to stop the amount of food wastage, and reduce my general stress levels.
