Rule #538: 5 Steps of Grieving for the Parents of Picky Eaters

5 Steps of Grieving for the Parents of Picky Eaters


  1. Denial – This is no big deal.  It’s just a phase.  I’m sure you’ll be hungrier tomorrow.  If I keep putting healthy food on your plate, you’ll eat it.
  2. Anger – Why me?  This isn’t fair!!!  Are you freaking kidding me?  You liked this exact same thing last week.  I worked really hard on this healthy meal, and YOU ARE GOING TO EAT IT!!!
  3. Bargaining – Just try it.  I’m begging you. If you try the green beans, you can have some dessert.  What about the pasta?  If you eat your pasta, you can have a sticker on your sticker chart.  And a tootsie roll.
  4. Depression – Why do I even bother making meals for you people?  Cooking for this family is the hardest job in the world.  I think I’m going to cry again.
  5. Acceptance – Just have another peanut butter sandwich, Honey.

Meanest Mommy Monster

Knitted Together (one of the local yarn stores) had a knitted Monster Contest.  Here is the monster I entered and the related story.  I was thrilled when Meanest Mommy Monster won the contest and I received $60 worth of yarn.  🙂  If you’re on Ravelry, you can look at the project here.



Mama Monster has 2 kids, 1 kid on the way, and a bad dye-job. (She tried to get the dye-job fixed, but she couldn’t find a sitter.)

Mama Monster is so highly-evolved that she has grown a third arm and a pair of eyes in the back of her head, and she has caffeine coursing through her monster veins. Despite these additional maternal features, she is still exhausted and can’t keep up with the laundry.

Where did they come from?

Rule #286

Rule #286:


  • Part I for my daughter:  When you first see your brother trying to open the 10 pound bag of grain, that would be a good time to come get Mommy.  Please do not wait until he has opened it and has proceeded to grind it into the carpet all over the entire living room.

  • Part II for my son:  Under no circumstances may you dump a ten pound bag of grain all over the living room.  And if you do, please do not grind it into the carpet all over the entire living room.


Thanks, Abby G.!

Thanks, Jodi R.  I’m hoping you’ll come on & decipher this one.  What in the world does this mean?  😉

Rule #73:  You are old enough to do that when you can lick your elbow.


Thanks, Lauren C.!  And how many of you just tried to lick your own elbow?  (I know you did… admit it!)

Meanest Mommy is out of town

I am out of town at a birth conference.  I asked Meanest Daddy to write some guest rules, but he says that the kids are behaving perfectly so far.  Hmmmm…..  are they REALLY behaving better for him?  Or does he just want me to think that?
