to send DS to his Grandad's house for a week with a list of food I want him to eat?

Well apparently Grandad is fantastic and him and DS are now best mates

They have not seen each other for a year. So we spent a few days there at Christmas. DS is very fussy about food - or has just been bought up badly (according to DF). We have a lot of battles over vegetables.

But when Grandad gave him peas, DS loved them. No battle. He just ate them. No fussing. No pulling a sick face.

So Dad thinks he's a great Grandad who knows how to get children to eat food (apparently treats are a bad thing) and DS adores Grandad.

I have a list of food I would love DS to eat. Little things like fruit, more vegetables, potatoes. So should I just leave him with Grandad for a week and see what happens

So long as it's done tongue-in-cheek.

Although - less potatoes would be good - too much starch. never understand this British obsession with potatoes with every meal

No, let's him go a pond get grandad to write you a list of all the things he has eaten whilst he was there. Might stop the fussiness if grandad says he liked it.

Let him go and...not let's him go pond.

OP my dd will eat a full plate of food including veg if anyone BUT me is feeding her. Can I send her too?

I did of course get a lecture about parenting styles. Not the first time that's happened
