Picky Eater

Before the day ends, one of the most crucial chores a mother faces is in preparing a meal plan for the following day. There are those who plan for the whole week or for a day's consumption and there are some who plans every after meal. Very tedious, huh?
It is never easy especially if you have a big family to feed. We cannot always stick to our preferences alone but also have to consider other members of the family. Now, the question is, what if after all the planning, the cooking and preparing, your kids didn't like the food served? What would the rational you do?
I've tried everything I can, believe me. From preparing an extra meal just to make sure he gets to eat like the rest to giving him appetite boosting vitamins. I've tried several home made recipes of vegetables to trick him into eating them..(next post)Honestly, those are short term relief. It didn't actually do both of us good. He became the pickiest among the pickies (no such word) and I have to make mends with my finances.
Now he's gone older (I'm referring to my son), 11 to be precise. Still, he choose what he eats. If he dislike the food served, he'll just get extra heaping of rice or he'll ask for bread, cookies or whatever is available.( I stopped making extras)
I have come across a would-be solution. I'm still on the starting line, though.
My answer to my own question is "I'll starve him...not to death, definitely." Only until such time that he gets no choice and he'll eat whatever is being served because he is so famished. I'll keep all other available alternatives so he won't feel like I'm just trying to make things hard for him.
I'll give you an update if that  worked. Cross fingers..
