>inb4 "wife's son" jokes Now that that's out of the way,..
How do I get my stepkids to start liking vegetables?
I don't think they spent the first five and seven years of their lives eating anything that wasn't breaded. And now I'm trying to get them on the right path but vegetables are like kryptonite to them. The best luck I've had was mixing tiny amounts of chopped carrot into various things but they still try to pick them out.
How about you stop trying to be a life-changing hero and just make them things they enjoy eating? I fucking hated when my step mom did shit like you're about to do. The kids are young, and you're already setting them up to resent you lol
Julian Wright
Yeah, no, I'm not subscribing to the "my kids don't have to do their homework if they don't want to " school of parenting.
Julian Ross
cover that shit in butter and cheese nigger
Kayden Richardson
>Any tips with young picky eaters?
Cut stuff up in pieces and give them a toothpick. Sometimes making eating playful works.
And never underestimate the power of butter and salt. Lots of butter.
Jacob Johnson
what kind of kid doesn't like baby carrots and ranch dressing? Ants on a log? cmon they can't be /that/ picky
Ayden Brown
Yeahhh, no, OP don't listen to this bullshit.
You really want them to eat their vegetables and be healthy? Put it in smoothies. Make the smoothies really delicious. Then pull the carpet right the fuck from under them.
Jacob Walker
You seem to have some internal issues you need to work out. You aren't their "parent", and not force-feeding them vegetables to start off the relationship isn't the same as not making them do homework. Are you trying to come off as the "tough but loving" type or something? That's what everyone does but it's cringe and annoying. Do whatever you want, idk why you even made this thread since you don't want advice, but have fun sowing the seeds of your step kids' discontent with you early so they grow to resent you. you're an idiot.
Jason Morris
Irish saying hunger "is maith an t-anlann an t-ocras". Hunger is the best sauce. Stop whining like a little bitch about your stepkids on the internet, let them work up an appetite, then give them the option of eating a nice meal with vegetables or nothing at all. You're not a cuck for raising another man's children, but you are for not specifying that they're stepkids on an anonymous imageboard and being too pussy to force your kid to do something they don't want to do.
James Adams
Your stepchildren will never love you or see you as an actual parental figure. Sorry, chum.
Oliver Brooks
>not a cuck for raising another man's children
thats exactly what a cuck is though lmao. OP is deluded in thinking that his wife's children are ever going to see him as their dad, they're just going to hate him on top of that
Thomas Clark
sounds like you have some issues of your own kiddo, this guy seems like his heart is in the right place definitely better to get the kids used to eating healthy even if it causes a little stress rather than trying to buy their affection at the cost of their health.
Ryan Ross
Funny how you think making vegetables appetizing and yummy (note that this is distinct from force-feeding ) is "sowing the seeds of resentment" and look, I know you think that the best way to develop a good relationship with them is to throw them their favorite TV dinner at the dining table but maybe one day you'll be mature enough to understand that the fastest way to see these kids become self-destructive rebels such as yourself is for the stepparent to act like he doesn't give a shit about them at all.
Lincoln Sullivan
Oh boy, did someone get diddled as a child? The guy is just trying to get kids to eat healthy, you dumb nigger. Sorry they didn't have a farmers market in the hood.

Forcing your wives kids to eat food that probably tastes gross is the worst way to "change" them
Charles Morgan
whatever you do, put that effort into your actual children
Brandon Cook
Nobody is trying to say that his heart is in the wrong place, but trying to force his stepkids to do shit isn't going to achieve anything.
It's not "throwing them their favorite TV dinner" you neckbeardic cuckhold, it's as simple as not trying to command another man's kids on what they should be doing.
And for you and your samefags, I never had a stepdad. You just dont seem to understand that your wife's kids aren't going to like you lmao

Ayden Bell
adoption is different from being a literal cuckhold
Luke Morris
look, raising someone else's kids is kinda weird but the alternative is letting them grow up with single-mother parents aka antisocial criminals degenerate factories. If you care about society at all you shouldn't have a problem with step-parenting.
Plus it's literally not cuckolding, that's letting someone else fuck your girlfriend. Step-parenting is just used goods, which in today's degenerate society is basically a guarantee anyway - fucking nobody marries their virgin highschool girlfriend what the fuck are you faggots smoking

Look goy the damage is probably already done, so quit fathering kids that aren't yours and find yourself a woman and have YOUR OWN kids with her dumb dumb.
ps the kids will never think of you as their father

the cuckold is the biological parent.

Please stop trying to rationalize your cuckolding fetish. As a fellow cuck it's just embarrassing.
Jack Sullivan
I grew up with plenty of kids who respected their step-parents.
But then their bio-parents tend to be non-shitheads who were capable of finding a respectable mate
If she's a single mother what are the chances the father was a antisocial degenerate (the type to leave), and she was too for having kids with such a person (unless he died or something), then to what extent might that be genetic and to what extent can you actually stop them from becoming degenerates.. By not having children of your own you're also removing yourself from the gene pool.

you know you can still impregnate a woman who already had kids

It's less likely - certainly at least you won't have as many as you normally would.

Evan Hill
I'm a kindergarten teacher and I can vouch for these methods:
Traumatize them by showing them pics of supermodels and fatties side by side. Tell them the first eat their vegetables and the second don't. Then proceed to tell them more about life's suckiness when you're obese
(God I'll make a horrible parent)
Easton Johnson
Make soup, put in a lot of carrots so it's sweet. Tarts with cream also.
Jack Brown
try those steamables frozen bags with seasoning or sauce in them. Some how they are less frightening to kids afraid of fresh vegetables.

Samuel Anderson
I don't know why you're getting all this hate brev, but I have some advice.
They're very young, aren't they? Children's tastebuds are developed more towards sweet and sugary stuff, so try to get them to eat more fruit if you are concerned that they aren't getting their fibres. Another thing you can do is for example coat certain vegetables in sauces (not fatty, buttery sauces) like winesauces or in curries.
Also, I've never met a kid that hates salads.
Samuel Roberts
You just inb4 and think that's going away. Stop being a duck and raising someone else's children.
Got yourself a keeper there son. Woman who spreads her legs and can't keep a man. Raised her children on fried shit with no variety. For 7 years the most important thing in her life never ate vegetables. You're such a hero captain vegetable. With your carrots and your celery.
Ayden Gray
I wish you all would get your hearts in the right place.
My parents are separated, both remarried. I love my steps dearly, and consider myself fortunate enough to have 4 parents. Remember that before the agricultural revolution nobody gave a fuck about parental lineage because the entire community was invested in raising their future.
Tldr: shine on Op

Christopher White
Don't listen to the 14 year olds in this thread. All of their responses are "You're not my dad!" and "Lol I hate when my mom makes me eat veggies" so I think it's safe to say they're children.
Butter, salt, small portions, and garlic are your best friends starting out, I think. Also, make them sit and eat it. When I was a kid, I was literally not allowed to leave the table until I ate the little bit of veggies my parents gave me. Also, give them a variety. String beans one night, broccoli the next...
And don't overlook them. I hated vegetables until my 20s because I didn't realize they could be cooked without steaming them into a mushy paste.
Daniel Ross
Sweet potatoes. Yeah, it's a tuber, I don't give a fuck. When I was a kid, the first vegetable-like thing I could stomach was black eyed peas. You could also try the old parent trick of drizzling broccoli with cheese. Oh and boiled cabbage is easier to stomach when paired with cornbread. I still kinda hate boiled cabbage though.
Benjamin Jackson
This. Properly cooking food is how you get kids to eat it. They're not stupid enough to force down overcooked, boiled, tasteless vegetables.
Jordan Long
>And don't overlook them. I hated vegetables until my 20s because I didn't realize they could be cooked without steaming them into a mushy paste.
2nding this. Make sure the food is prepared properly. There were many things I thought I hated as a kid but it turns out that my parents simply sucked at cooking them. Make sure it's not under or overcooked, etc.
Noah Reed
>carrots try picking better tasting vegetables. peas drenched in butter and water, scallions with the ends chilling in salt water, olives, fresh green peppers. shit that has taste i hated salads.
Parker Lewis

Hudson Gonzalez
>They're not stupid enough to force down overcooked, boiled, tasteless vegetables.
They are stupid enough to refuse to eat them any way if they had shit parenting for years. No matter how good the cooking, some force might have to be involved.
First things first, get wife on board and have her be the one to put her foot down.
Liam Brown
All children who don't grow up in a family consisting of their actual mother and father always end up fucked beyond repair. I'd jump ship and start anew.
Jace Howard
take solace in knowing they'll never see you as their real father and that you will always be a cuckold who had to settle for a woman with kids and then take them to wendys you fucking closeted fag.
Austin Perry
That's kind of hot.
Elijah Allen
You could have avoided all this if you just said they were your kids OP
Liam Hill

Jaxson Moore
maybe he doesn't feel comfortable beating them because they're a package deal. if it's your seed you can do whatever you want but with your wife's son there's always the chance she'll leave or their real daddy will take them back.
Ryan Reyes
>they're not my kids but I act like it
Have fun when your kids think you're a an old cuck who married their mom because she couldnt pay the bills on her own.
Also nigga mac n cheese is easier to make than veggies

Aiden Stewart
Please don't label me pessimistic, but you can't. They're not babies, 7 years of being accustomed to eating crap and having a warped taste of what nice food is a long time.
If they ever start to like vegetables it will only be when they are adults and are mature enough to be logical and open minded. Even then a lot of adults have child palates.

Connor Morris
Your wife has probably enabled their beige food habits thus far, so they probably will just resist everything you try, but I always take note of things I would "sneak" feeding my kids healthy food if I ever had them.
>Peas w/butter >Fried banana/plantain with honey and cinnamon >Cooked carrots with maple syrup >Yams >Creamed corn (with bruised rosemary, white pepper and a LITTLE turmeric) >Spinach souffle (from Stouffer's) or spinach quiche >Kale "chips" (just bake them in olive oil and salt) >Brussels sprouts/asparagus roasted in olive oil and garlic >Those sweet little bell peppers with ranch
None of this is actually healthy with the condiments and all, but vegetables should be eaten with some kind of fat that doesn't have milk in it if you can help it. But the major priority is to keep them from dying or getting scurvy, so you're doing whatever you can.
They're beyond hope if they won't touch these things because these are basically the only veggies *I* like at my age.
Elijah James
kids older than seven incorporate new foods all the time. you just have to make them appealing to their current palates or at least not immediately trigger a disgust reaction before the food even hits the table. op could always riff on some of their vegetarian or vegan recipes to get the kids to try vegetables in ways they wouldn't even notice.
Henry Hernandez

Levi Nguyen
>They're beyond hope if they won't touch these things because these are basically the only veggies *I* like at my age.
I'm with you in general, but keep in mind that people's tastes vary.
I consider myself a very non-picky eater. I will happily eat all kinds of oddball ethnic foods. Runny cheeses that smell like a dead man's feet. Raw fish. Blood sausage. Chicken and pork feet. Game. Rare/raw meat, Salt licorice, fermented fish products, etc. Mysterious things from Asian street vendors. Natto. Vegemite/marmite. I will eat nearly any vegetable you might name. Except asparagus. I don't know what it is but I just can't stomach asparagus.
Hudson Brooks
Juicing is always a good habit to get them into, spend like $60 at a local produce joint, you can make it a family "activity" where they help you clean the giant fucking mess it leaves.
Joshua Parker
Jesus Christ, what's with all these edgecunts.
Jayden Harris
Yes I know kids can discover they like new things, this isnt what we're talking about. This is not just a new favour, it's a group of foods they have already decided they don't like because they've already been ruined.
You say as long as the disgust factor isn't there before vegetables get to the table. Well it's there. And it doesn't go away.
Jason Edwards
Don't Tell them there's vegetable Unless they have allergy Because Veeky Forums gets pissy about not telling someone about ingredients for some reason
Nolan Evans
Just keep forcing them. There's dozens of child psych studies which show that children will eat whatever you tell them to if you ask them repeatedly. By the 40th time they will eat their veggies and will replace eventually eat it without you saying anything. Be a man.
