So, out of curiosity, just how much wine do you drink per night, on average? ;)

Ugh. I'm sorry. I'll raise a drink in your honor then...

I often let my son eat at a different table, either in front of the tv or outside. He is similar and will gag when he sees messy eating (from my 2yo daughter). And don't worry, he doesn't eat any vegetables, fruit or meat. I give him a dose of multi-vitamins every day. We recently did a massive blood test to check every level you can think of, and everything come back in normal range (woohoo). It means I can stop stressing about the food so much.

i love the barrier. We have to do that too. Though, for us, its just easier to feed Tommy first while I'm finishing making OUR dinner. Because, as he always tells us "your food makes me throw up".

I love this! I have to do divided plates but once they start eating more than those will hold I'm gonna have to google cafeteria trays, I think. LOL And photoshopping the veggies, I have to photoshop meat into one and veggies into the others.

I don't see how you answered maxwelldeux's question. Not seeing wine on the table could mean anything, and PROBABLY means that you're holding it by the bottleneck in one hand and taking the picture with the other.

Also, Child 1's bowl is MASSIVE. That's like a Kitchenaid mixing bowl.

We don't feed our children vegetables either.

Those lil vita-gummy bears are the closest my kids have ever come to even touching something colorful without gagging. All hail the mighty gummy vitamins. Without them my kids would be deficient in just about everything, you know, unless it's a hotdog. And by that I mean an Oscar Meyer turkey dog, skin removed, microwaved for 12 seconds. No more, no less. No bun and nothing else to contaminate the plate or gagging ensues. And that's for the NT kid.

That barrier is great. I'll have to try that. Looks like it works better than our blue painters tape I'm using to delineate space. And it looks just the right size to hold a soft mallet to drop on my foot or knock myself out when I need to.

The only thing I've found that remotely works veggie-wise is the "Just Corn" stuff that comes in the health food store. It's dehydrated corn, actually is very good. BUT it's expensive. Some of my children have their own pottery, so no one eats out of THEIR dishes. :)

That is fascinating! I think I'll start putting pictures of vegetables on my own plate to start feeling better about my own eating habits.

How long did it take you to figure out that you needed a barrier? Does any real child eat vegetables? If they do, I don't like them or their mother.

I have more trouble getting my kid to eat meat than I do veggies. (he loves veggies. i know. he's a weirdo.)

That bowl is enormous!

I choose restaurants based on how well the menus serve as barriers. Because really, is there anything more gross than watching another person eat?

(Also because then no one can judge me by seeing how often I refill my wine glass.)

Cracking up at your photoshopped peas. How 'bout fruits? Do your boys like fruit?

I guess it's good that Child 1 is at least OK with seeing Child 2 eat their food. Otherwise you might need a much bigger divider so that neither one can see each other. And then of course you could end up with some sound-of-the-food-being-eaten issues where the huge divider isn't enough anymore and you''ll need individual sound booths for each to eat in.

And on that note, Happy Thanksgiving!

Is child 2 eating a bowl of margarine?...I'm not judging, just trying to get quick and easy meal ideas for my own children.
