Hello,
Has anyone cruised with young children? My daughter is 2 and a fairly picky eater - thankfully we've been trying to get weight on her so feeding her the usual kid food fare (mac n cheese, chicken nuggets etc.) is usually pretty good - except that what works one night doesn't necessarily work for another. If she doesn't eat what we ask for her can we ask for something else?

What ever happened to kids eating what their parents told them to eat, within reason. My parents made me eat stuff I didn't like, but I ate it until my mom smartened up and realized that making us eat turnips will not work, nor will trying to make me eat tomatoes work. I still do not like tomatoes, tomato sauce (seasoned) I will eat.
Don't let your child win, make them eat what you want within reason....kids have to learn they can't dictate what they want when it isn't on the menu!!!!
Come on preemie moms - wanna get a good laugh with me?
That's funny... sort of.
Armchair quarterbacking someone parenting is easy to do... I know, I used to do it.

Oh yeah...armchair parenting is the best! I love it when people try to give you advice...especially the ones that aren't parents yet! The food advice cracks me up the most! There are a few people who have just flat out crossed the line, so I let them have it! I explain his birthweight, how he and I almost died, and the months of feeding therapy we went through just to get him eating like a normal kid. Then I wrap up by saying..."So I guess the fact that he only has a handful of favorite foods doesn't seem like such a big deal now, does it?" ;-)
i always say that i knew EVERYTHING about infant and child nutrition and then along came daniel...
can you maybe contact the cruise line where i hope you would receive a little more sensitivity. start out by saying your child has special medical needs (a very broad term in of itself) but it will most likely cause the person to listen to your question rather than form a reply that instructs you on how to raise your child.
thanks for the giggle this afternoon.
