Grilled cheese. But only with certain cheese. Pizza. But not that kind. Cheerios. Actually not Cheerios; they have to be Joe's Os from Trader Joe's. Grrr.
Kids' "rules" about what they'll eat can be so infuriating. The above are just a few examples of the ridiculous hoops I must jump through to get my children to eat. My middle daughter is currently the pickiest. For example, she loves chicken noodle soup, but refuses to let a noodle not from soup pass her lips. And she'll only drink apple juice with water added to it.
Luckily, or maybe unluckily for them, my fellow BabyCenter bloggers can so relate to having children with very particular palates. I asked them what their kids' most annoying, infuriating "rules" about what they'll eat are, and here's what they told me: "My son will only eat chicken fingers if I cut them JUST SO. And only I can cut them. If someone else cuts them he won't eat." - Amy Hatch
 

 
"By insisting on ridiculous weather rules. Like tuna salad is only for the summer. No other season. Eats tons in the summer but come fall and you can forget it." - Tara Shafer
"Thou shall not combine two foods child likes separately into a new food. Fruit salad" Get outta here." - Sara McGinnis
"Ketchup on EVERYTHING, but she gags at the sight of a tomato. Grated cheese" Delicious. Cubes or slices of cheese" Disgusting. Also, all of her favourit...
