Sweet Love
We all show love in different ways—some people like giving gifts, others like physical contact, and some like cooking. But for parents who express their love through food, things can get complicated. Yes, eating your mom’s homemade food or going to McDonald’s with your dad is fantastic, but what happens if this is the only way they show you love?
Dino bites, chicken pizza, mac and cheese. Food as a kid is one million times better than an adult’s; we can’t argue with that. It is tempting for parents, especially the tired ones, to rely on the magic of food to keep their kids entertained, happy, or loved. Even though that seems like a good idea, it’s not sustainable, as they will not learn healthy eating habits and limits. We all love dino bites but throw some broccoli there once in a while, trust me.
