Please, I’m going insane. I’m tired of fighting over food.

**ETA: thank you all for your responses!! I feel sooo much better about the entire situation lol! I’m glad I’m not alone 😂

My baby girl turns 3 years old next month (eep!). Almost every dinner, unless it’s specific chicken nuggets, pasta, yogurt, cheese quesadillas, grilled cheese… or anything cheese, really lol, she will refuse to eat. We’re Filipino and she was introduced to a lot of different things to eat growing up - and she used to eat almost everything! She would definitely try anything at least once. But now she just wont bother. Bribing doesn’t work, “calling the doctor” or whoever she doesn’t like doesn’t work lol. We tried just letting it go so it doesn’t make it worse… “we’re in control of what we make, they’re in control of how much they’ll eat”, right? I don’t immediately follow up with a snack so she doesn’t think that’s how things work, but I will give her something a couple hours later.

But I get so frustrated. And it makes me think she is not getting the nutrients she needs. It’s a power struggle and I always lose lol is this normal!? Will she grow out of it? I was also a super picky child, but not until I was in elementary school. I feel like I might not be doing enough, but what else can I do? 😩

TLDR: will my super picky 3-year-old grow out of being picky? lol
