I went over to my sister's house recently to cook hamburgers. She told me not to cook hamburgers for my nephews because they won't eat them. Just to play it safe, I asked my nephews if they wanted me to cook them hamburgers. They said no, "hamburgers are gross."
After I finished cooking, I got everyone served their burgers, sat down, and then one of my nephews asked where his burger was. I told him that he said they're gross and didn't want one. He started crying and saying that he wanted a burger. So, to play it safe, I cooked up two burgers for both of my nephews and toasted the buns just like I did for everyone else.
Then they got upset that I ruined "the bread." I asked if they wanted it not toasted. They said yes.
I move their patties to untoasted buns. They pick at the crust of the bun and say that they don't like it and that hamburgers are disgusting.
So, I fixed them plates of their favorite foods.
At this point, their attention spans were fully expended and they pretty soon left to watch tv and play without eating much.
Come bedtime, they cried that they were hungry and needed some snacks. So they ate their snacks and went to bed feeling like this was a perfectly normal way to live their lives.
They were 5 and 3 at the time.
This is what Republicans are. Fucking toddlers who throw a tantrum when they don't get what they want and say that they don't want it when you give it to them.
My kids are 9 and 7 and this is nearly every dinner time for us over the last few months, it's maddening
I let that fly up until they're old enough to use the microwave. Now they cook their own damn dinner if they don't want what I make. Hard part is keeping them away from snacks but not locking up the pantry like Fort Knox.
