Why Is Everything Always Our Fault?

Add another item onto the never-ending list of Reasons You Are To Blame For Everything Bad About Your Kid And His Existence:  namely, It's Your Fault Your Kid's a Picky Eater. Yep, NY mag covered some recent research which seems to indicate that children of pregnant women who have a varied diet end up being more open-minded eaters. This bodes quite quite badly for my progeny as I was so miserably ill with morning sickness, all i ate was french fries, pasta with butter and mashed potatoes for nine months.

Personally, I plan on filing this particular piece of info in the category of "What, Am I Supposed to Feel Guilty About This Shit Too, Now? Forget About It."

Ewww Mommy

My son hates fruit. When I say hates, I mean an uncontrollable physical aversion including shuddering, grimacing, gag reflex -- the whole nine yards. He always has, ever since he was a baby. He can't stand any kind of fruit at all but citrus is the worst. Give the kid an orange and he will act as though you've handed him a bowl of steaming manure. We took a video of me offering him an orange slice when he was about a year and a half old and everyone who saw it agreed that it was almost a dangerous level of hilarious. So today I present to you . . . "Ewwww Mommy."
