Ever wonder how you ended up with kids that are so selective about what goes in their mouth? For people who don’t mind eating dirt, bugs, fuzz, and various other questionable non-food items, the amount of fight they put into the food that crosses the threshold is unreasonable.
Unreasonable or not, as their mom it’s still your job to make sure they get sustenance, even if it’s in the form of peanut butter on a piece of toast when all else fails. Fortunately, these awesome Instagrammers have it down, and they like to share their wisdom and solidarity with the masses. Check out these top accounts for inspiration:
