Sherilyn has definitely inherited my taste buds for she just loves bread but hate rice. Eating rice was also a torture for me since young but my parents and maternal grandma were very strict. I had to eat what was served on the dining table, definitely no choosing bread, noodles or rice everyday, even had to force myself to swallow food which I disliked and definitely no walking around, fussing and whining during mealtimes, else I would surely be whipped! I was also much more obedient and feared being whipped.
Anyway, times have changed. I am not that harsh with my kids but I am still a strict disciplinarian. Friends and relatives always tell me that I should just starve Sherilyn if she doesn’t want to eat what I serve her. If she doesn’t want to eat her plate of rice with dishes, by all means, keep the plate of food after an hour and don’t even fix her milk later. When she’s hungry, she will eat whatever is served on the dining table the next day. But still, I can’t do it.
When my mil is not around to help me coax Sherilyn to eat her dinner, I take the short cut out. I serve her whatever she requests on most days, which are bread and noodles. Sherilyn never gets bored with these 2. This brat loves to have lots of kaya and chunks of butter on her bread. And here’s just one of her dinners of bread with dishes :
Rice replacement dinner – Bread with kaya and chunks of butter with chicken and baby french beans.
She even uses a pair of chopsticks to eat her slice of bread. Now that’s pretty quirky isn’t it? But oh well, that’s just Sherilyn’s individualistic, very Sherilyn, for she just loves to be different and loves to do things that draw attention!
