We’ve made amazing home-cooked meals for my 11 yo daughter. Brought her to any number of fancy restaurants of various types of cuisine. American, Thai, Chinese, Mediterranean, Indian, Italian, Korean, German, Vietnamese, Mexican, French, Cuban, Japanese, Filipino, and the list goes on and on. No matter what Michelin-level meal we put in front of her, she will only eat: 1) chicken nuggets 2) cheese only pizza 3) plain hamburger with only meat and bread (there can be no pepper, no salt, no seasoning of any kind on the meat) We’re slow cooking chicken this evening in a crockpot. It’s been going for a few hours and should be succulent and fall apart melt-in-your-mouth yumminess. Yet, it holds no sway over my 11 yo. This and no other foods/meals will satisfy her and she’s totally implacable in this regard. No Iron Chef meal will entice her save those 3 listed items above. It’s endlessly frustrating and we REALLY hope her palate will mature one of these days. 🙄

Nothing makes me happier than watching you grow every day. Without a doubt, being a father has been the best thing that's ever happened to me. There are no words.

I took my 14yo son to a steakhouse tonight to commemorate three canon life events: 1) end of summer break this weekend 2) beginning of high school next week 3) first girlfriend breaking up with him this afternoon He's taking it remarkably in stride. I'm hella proud of who he's becoming.

My 14yo son is about to start his third "Master Mode" play through of The Legend Zelda: Breath of the Wild. To make it more of a challenge, he's come up with the following rules: • No fast travel. • No Champion abilities. • Must sleep every night. • Only eat cooked meals (no raw food). • Can only change armor in towns or stables. • No eating during combat (heal before or after). • If you die, drop your currently equipped weapon, bow, and shield before continuing. • Only upgrade armor to ⭐ ⭐ (2 stars). • No Ancient Arrows. • No Majora’s Mask. • Amiibos: only Wolf Link. He's way too excited about this, lol.
