I love "coddling" and cuddling my kids - they grow up way to fast. And yes they eventually learn to eat normal healthy food - my 18, 14 & 2 year olds are all pretty well adjusted regardless of a little coddling. Happy Up - it's the Holidays!

Kids don't have "picky palettes"....kids aren't made to eat what everybody else is eating like when we were kids. I've never made a separate meal for my daughter. This generation of moms coddles their kids. The more you expose your child to what everybody else is eating, the better off she'll be. "Kid frindly Thanksgiving"...? What is this world coming to?
