What the fuck is wrong with people

[CurlyhairedAssassin]

Please tell us you're dyslexic, OP, it would explain a lot. If not then.....erm?

[TupsNSups]

And while they sit a muse why do just won't eat anything much I will sit and look and borther who only eats plain fucking rice not after 4pm

Are you sure you haven't had even a little drink op?

[FruJustFru]

Rubbish, T-Rex(ing) in the supermarket (and Sharon) made an appearance on MN a few years ago - the OP of the T-Rex and Sharon threads sounded very similar to this OP.

[PacificDogwod]

How on earth can I be expected to explain to DS2(12) why I am sitting here with tears of laughter in my eyes?!

OP, you are right, people with v narrow palettes of food they will eat are not pleasant to try and prepare a dinner for.
There, I tried really heart to give a constructive reply.

[CurlyhairedAssassin]

Is the OP doing dictation into an iPhone very badly? Without her glasses on?

[limitedperiodonly]

Oh it's you

[PacificDogwod]

Do you need glasses to do dictation?? Whether good or badly?

Well, I've done it wrong all this time!

[booox]

I think the op is typing in olde englesh.

They are bringing food for their child so you aren't put out. You sound a tad precious about it. If I invite someone over for tea, I check what they like first. I don't invite them then expect them to eat whatever I serve, I think that's rude.

I'm a fussy eater (apparently) but there is plenty I do eat, it's not difficult to cook for me at all but I don't like creamy sauces, pizza etc and if I don't like it, I will NOT be eating it out of politeness. I have major issues with food and im happy to stidk to the things i like. It doesnt affect other peoples lives. If it's an issue, I'd rather not go out to eat. I hate it actually as it always seems to be a focus and I need to check what someone is doing before we say yes to going.

Always the same thing with people who eat anything or don't have issues with tastes and textures and think everyone should suck it up and eat it.

[CurlyhairedAssassin]

Pacific! You do need to see that what you've dictated is the same as what appears on the screen. I don't think the OP has realised that.

[TupsNSups]

I'm pretty sure the op has been around for a long time. Op, I am always confused by Your name and too embarrassed to ask, but is it pronounced The Fishy Wife?

[PacificDogwod]

Well, yes, but you only have to see what you have just typed/dictated if you are bothered about the other person understanding you.
If you don't, it doesn't matter.
What a liberating thought

"Always the same thing with people who eat anything or don't have issues with tastes and textures and think everyone should suck it up and eat it."

I was the most fussy child ever. I didn't even eat pasta, pizza or rice until I was 16. Didn't try curry until I was 23 and was trying to impress my boyfriend.

But I grew up and realised that trying new foods wouldn't kill me. And that it was even possible to eat something I wasn't fantastically fond of, because it pleased my host, or because there was no alternative, or because it was the sandwiches offered up at a conference didn't have labels on so it was a case of eating something I wasn't 100% sure of containing my "safe" foods.

It is totally possible to change severe food issues. My own son struggles with this understanding. But then he's only 10. Will try everything new except fruit now. Fruit is his last phobia.

[CurlyhairedAssassin]

Do you mean the dab or The Dab?!

[CurlyhairedAssassin]

Sorry wrong thread, dunno how that happened!!

[lovelilies]

I'm actually crying. I needed this, thank you so much op

[H1ghw4y61revisited]

What's Pella?

[sophiestew]

H1 It's rice and Katup from yesteryear.

[RubbishMantra]

Thank you Fru. But what's T-Rexing in the supermarket, (am imagining someone with really short spindly arms attempting to reach up for something on the highest shelf). Am thoroughly

[RubbishMantra]

*...And after failing to retrieve wanted items, go around biting and terrorising staff and shoppers, with their large, toothsome gaping mouth?

[perfectlybroken]

This is the first time ever I have cried with laughter at mn. Love the op's airy disregard for spelling, we went from pella to paella!
But yes, fussy eaters do not make good dinner guests.

[FruJustFru]

Rubbish, ah, I see that I'd X-posted with pinkiepink who'd already linked to the T-Rexing in the supermarket thread - but here it is again www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1498923-Shouting-at-me-in-the-supermarket

[ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess]

I like to think the OP has got so pissed off with her (insanely) fussy relatives, she's hit the vino early.

To be fair, my ex just sent me a text to inform me that his train 'gays into' TownName at eleven tommorrow....
