I have given up trying to understand the eating habits of my 6 year old

Hey daddit - quick little dad crash out in coming.

So my 6 year old girl is one of the pickiest eaters I've ever known. She truly takes it to another level. Its not just "yucky" foods she won't eat - she rejects practically everything, even the "safe" kid stuff.

French toast, ice cream, grilled cheese sandwich, chicken fingers, bacon, garlic bread, pizza - these are just a few of the things she has rejected in the past couple of weeks (along with all the of the healthy food I make and put in front of her).

I do almost all of the cooking in the family so its been a bit of an Odyssey getting this kid to have her nutritional needs covered. I have put an inordinate amount of time and energy into figuring this out. Cracking the code. Getting this kid to eat fucking ANYTHING. I put more time and energy into feeding her than I do feeding the rest of the family.

So this weekend, my wife and I decide to take the family out for sushi. Of course I assumed 6yo would just eat plain rice while the rest of us went to town on everything else.

That very morning this girl had rejected the french toast covered in maple syrup and icing sugar I made for a special Saturday breakfast.

So we get the food at the restaurant - special rolls, maki, sushi, sashimi, shrimp tempura, the works - THIS KID JUST STARTS EATING ALL OF IT WITHOUT EVEN ACTING LIKE ITS WEIRD.

I know I should have been happy, but I wanted to flip the table over. SUSHI!? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!? YOU'LL EAT FUCKING SUSHI BUT YOU WON'T EAT THE FRENCH FUCKING TOAST I GOT UP EARLY TO MAKE FOR EVERYONE!? WHAT IN THE FLYING FUCK IS HAPPENING IN THAT BRAIN OF YOURS!? IF YOU CAN EAT THIS YOU CAN EAT EVERYTHING I MAKE FOR YOU!! GAHHHHHH!!

Thank you, I feel better now.
