I’m sorry Mum



I’m sorry for all of the pea’s, bean’s and pumpkin I refused to eat for years.

I’m sorry for hiding zucchini in my socks and throwing it over the fence. I’m also sorry that some time’s I missed some of it and it ended up in the washing machine.

I’m sorry that I hid spinich under the couch, and for the smell that it must have created.

I’m sorry about the Lima beans, the choko and the asparagus…but you don’t want to know what I did to those.

I’m sorry that I fed your stew to Bitsy. And your veggies burger’s. And your funny looking yellow rice stuff.

I’m sorry that I sat, and sat and sat at the dining room table, until my food had gone cold and soggy and you no longer had the heart to make me eat it.

I’m sorry for sneaking in to the pantry very late on those same nights, to eat biscuits and chips because I was hungry. I also happen to be sorry that on those nights when I got caught, I couldn’t help myself from laughing at you as you lectured me about respecting the hard work and effort you put in to my meals, and how much it hurt you that I wouldn’t just try something new.

And, last but not least.

I am sorry that Dad and I refused point blank, to eat your kangaroo stew thing that smelt like shit. And furthermore, I’m sorry that we threw it on the garden in the back yard and gave it a proper burial, cross included.

I’m sorry for all of this, because now your Grandson, as sweet as he can be…is doing the exact same thing to me. He is refusing almost everything I try to feed him. He apparently doesn’t like my cooking. And I am SO frustrated by his lack of interest in my food. It makes me SO angry when I try so hard to make something that he will enjoy, and eat. It makes me so mad when I spend hours sometimes preparing his meal’s…only to have him say “NO, I don’t want it!”


So Mum, I’m sorry. I promise, I will never ever do it again. Unless you cook the kangaroo again. I will never eat that.

Sorry!

  1. LOL!! your poor mum! i wasn’t quite that bad. though, my mum never made kangaroo stew (smoked kangaroo is yummy though).

  2. LOL I feel sorry for your mom after reading that! :P

    Try the mac n cheese! Make it really good with lots of milk and butter and cheese (Like you would like it) then let him eat that cut up really small. It was the only thing besides spagetti that I could get Lily to eat. After she ‘accustomed to eating’ food that I gave her (albeit bad stuff) she eats ANYTHING now! :) Have you tried the mac n cheese? :)

    Hugs

  3. Ash this is a recent development, and we suspect teeth have something to do with it. Otherwise Jaxon once LOVED my food and never turned any of it away.

    I’d also LOVE it if Mac and Cheese worked for Jaxon. He HATES pasta. He wont even play with it with no sauce on it. I even went and got these cute little baby teddy bears and he could care less that they are cute…just that he doesn’t like them!

    Katie, I was likely worse than I have put in the blog. No soup, no dips, no sauces, nothing runny, nothing smelly, nothing gluggy…the list goes on. My Mum was forced to do meat and three veg for years!

  4. LOL awww boo!! I’m soo sorry! Hmmm I’m gonna keep my eyes/ears open for some kind of secret ‘baby EATing food’ that is irrestible (sp?)

  5. Try giving him Kangaroo Stew. Might be what he’s waiting for! Thanks for giving me a great laugh Boo. Not to mention until I read this entry *I* had no idea why I was finding bits of food in my washing machine. Just going to go have a little chat with the rugrats……
