DS - the sausage roll king!

OK, I've said it before, but I'm at the end of my tether again with food. DS is 3.5, will eat good breakfast, cereal, toast + marmite, milk, then is a nightmare for the rest of the day. He only likes sausage rolls (cheap ones - once tried substituing veggie ones, mixed up with other ones and he picked them out!) and cheese triangle sandwiches. Will eat yog and fruit purees pots but heaven help us if a vegetable appears on his plate - you'd think I'd not only attempted to poison him, but apparently I've even contaminated the damn sausage roll. Doesn't eat between meals, doesn't drink milk all day. Once held a mouthful of veg soup for half an hour before spitting it out. This boy is stubborn. He's also very tall for his age and healthy and full of energy - gods knows from where, he's got more than me and I'll eat anything in sight! Am fed up with sausage rolls - and watching other little dears nibbling tomatoes and cheese, and sitting down to full roast dinners. Just had to get that off my chest. PS He doesn't eat at nursery either, or in any other social situation. Mind you his dad's veggie and at 18 I used to starve myself all day to avoid eating in front of people I didn't know so don't know why I'm so surprised! Trouble is DH gets really p*d off about it and I feel like it's all my fault cos I doubt DH has prepared more than 2 meals for DS in entire life!! Feel better now!

Cornish pasties? They've got teeny tiny veggies in them disguised as a sausage roll of sorts?

Hi LissaQ, no advice I'm afraid, but know exactly how you feel

Lissa - I've just pinched 4 of dd's favourite sausage rolls . I'm not going to be popular tomorrow.
What's he like if you invite other kids around to eat?

Lissa - know how you feel but we do vegetarian sausages (Tesco's own mind you, none of these Quorn things)every day for lunch and sometimes I do 2 and he has a cold one for tea as well.
Tell DH to take a week off and prepare all his meals for him to see if he eats them
Hang in there - I just keep telling myself that it can't last for ever....can it?!
