different tastes

to those with 2 or more kids; do you cater for their different likes and dislikes with regards to food? I mean if one kid likes a meal but the other doesnt do you make different things for them?

my 2 are starting to have quite different likes and dislikes to meals, so when I make something and one of them usually doesn't like it my OH gets annoyed and says things like "they should take what they're given!!" and this winds me up cause I know now that Dylan just doesn't like certain meals, and we automatically avoid the things that Imogen doesn't like cause she just cant handle something she has an aversion to, but this means that its Dylan that has to "like it or lump it" as my OH puts it.

Would you make different things for them? Its not mega often this happens though so I don't see a problem, but OH says I'm spoiling Dylan!

I would probably do different things for them if you know it's something Dylan doesn't like as long as it's not all the time. It doesn't seem fair if Imogen gets catered for and you know it's something Dylan won't eat. Hope that makes sense. x

I do different things on the odd time but it really isnt often. I wouldnt do it every day. I know that Theo wont touch fish so when we have it I'll offer him some but I do make him something else he does like. xx

I make mine both the same. Unless its something simple like sandwiches and one wants ham and the cheese thats about the only variation they get
