I have a 5 year old grandson who will eat only 5 or six things: among them chicken nuggets, french fries, poptarts, chips, hot dogs and sausage. He eats NO fruits or vegetables but will drink milk and fruit juice. Recently, I started a conversation with his parents (my son and daughter in law) about my concerns that he is not getting the variety of food he needs. They say they have talked to the Dr. and she says "What are you going to do? You can't force him". They say he is healthy but he looks lethargic to me. He was 5 in May and does not ride a tryke yet. He will sit on it if he is pushed but will not peddle. They think it is cruel to not offer him one of the things they know he likes. He then eats only that item and refuses to eat anything else. They think I should have the above items available for him when they come to dinner. I have other grandchildren and their parents give them a little of whatever I serve. I am careful not to serve anything spicy or too far out. I'd like to know if other people have this problem and if they think like my son and daughter in law. Is it cruel if I don't have his preferred foods available everytime he comes to dinner? My son said it was like how I treat my daughter who is a vegetarian. I don't think it is the same at all. I wonder if this is worth asserting myself for as it has become a bit of an arguement. Normally, I stay out of my kids parenting business but am truely concerned about my grandson. On the other hand, he will be going to kindergarten in the fall. On the other hand, they said they would pack his lunch for him (chicken nugets and fries everyday. Help!
