[quote=\"missyqiqi\"]I'm a FTWM, i cook almost every day except for weekends when I'm meeting my parents. I agree sometimes i feel quite tired but when I see my girl finish up her food, i feel happy about it.


I always have fish every day for her dinner. But my style of cooking is very light,coz my daughter is still young (2yrs old) So it may not taste so good for my hubby's family coz they are paranakan so quite \"zhong kou wei\", but I told my hubby have to finish up what I have cook. Coz nobody in the house eat will eat left overs so can't possible throw it away.

Yup understand what you mean by being super tired. My DD is 7 this year, I've been doing this for 7 years!
Actually there is no need to cook fish everyday for your DD. She should be exposed to a variety of food to have a balanced nutrition. Besides, there are studies that show that young children should not have fish more than 3 times a week, especially those deep sea fishes like cod and salmon and mackerel. This is because our seas are very polluted and these deep sea fishes accumulate mercury in them. So try to vary her diet. She is 2 already, should be able to eat other food. Can also give her tofu and eggs, easily digestible as well.

my preschooler boy loves Four Leaves hotdog minis as well. No point feeding adult size buns to him, cos he drinks milo or fresh milk too.

Hi have u tried giving your kids those mini buns from four leaves? Small enough and I noticed these buns are quite well liked by kids instead of slice of plain bread with spread

Oh that's one of my kid's fav - the mini wassants and ham roll. And he eats up to 15 per week as supper or pre-dinner snack. I like them too. Moist and not too sweet (for the wassants). But I find the ham roll a bit too salty for children, Can keep up to two days. I personally don't find the buns any different after 2 days but I keep them to myself and let my kid eat the fresh one's.

The place that I get my shabu shabu and prime ribs from http://www.mmmm.com.sg/Scripts/default.asp. Can have the prime cuts of pork and beef as well. I go to their factory outlet because it's near my house, and it's also cheaper there. But they have retail outlets as well for your convenience. But I don't get my spare ribs (cook soup type) from them cos there is a \"porky\" taste.

Both my DH and DS hv been \"pampered\" by my Canto MIL's \"live fish\" cooking, so I'm forced to maintain the same level of freshness on weekends

We have to live with the family we have! I guess if you can't 'train' them to be more flexible in their likes and dislikes, then you have to make the best of it. I made it clear to my husband (and later my kids) that when I cook, they just eat. If they don't like something, I won't cook it again, but I won't necessarily go to a lot of hassle to cook something the way they like. That's what restaurants are for. That's how I've coped anyway.
