Hi all,
Our AP arrived on Tuesday, so we are still settling in. Everything is fine at the moment, but she doesn't eat!
Dh, dc and I are all big foodies and we make homecooked food every day. I am proud of the fact that my dc will eat anything that is put in front of them at home, in a restaurant or at friends' houses. Our AP on the other hand is SO picky.
We have had several conversations about what she likes and the end result was a list of 10 foods-literally! All of them are flavourless, dull and things which we don't often cook-although I am willing to put them on the table on occassions for her benefit. She has 'eaten' with us every night, and each night she pushes the food around her plate before leaving it. She seems to fill up on bread. I know she wants to eat (ie no obvious EDs) because when I took her shopping yesterday she devoured a baguette, and she's requested that we buy her pot noodles and wotsits!
But what should we do about dinner time? Carry on offering her the same, or let her sit at the table with us with a pot noodle? I don't want her pickiness rubbing off on the dc...
I can't ask her to cook, because she doesn't know how-she told me that when she walked in the first night! She also doesn't clean and doesn't know how to use the washing machine, so we have lots of lessons to teach her over the next few weeks!
Any advice greatly received.
