It is not normal, no. Kids are notorious picky eaters but they don't tend
to decide they hate something the minute you stock the pantry with it after
they had been eating it and enjoying it previously..

So keep it to food and enough of the over sharing TMI. What do you expect?

Julie, your posts almost always include lengthy descriptions about the oaf
and kiddo who who just cannot be pleased no matter what.

Well that's true enough. But even if I knew you personally I'd avoid you
like the plague if I had to listen to all the personal stuff. Keep it under
your hat, as they say. It's about cooking. Not about what your family
hates. The next time somebody posts a recipe, try not writing "my family
would never eat that." That would be a good start.
