Being a parent has made me more open in accepting constructive feedback and seeing how to improve.
Couple of days ago, I cooked oatmeal and fruit jam for breakfast, and none of my kids ate it. They never liked cooked oatmeal, but I thought this was due to the texture, when they were younger. They just didn't like it. My oldest tried it, with some oatmeal still in his mouth, he said " Mommy it doesn't taste good." Just his facial expression made me understand that he just didn't like it.
Today for breakfast I made some oatmeal cookies and ham omelette. The surprise was I added some raisins and grated carrots, knowing that they are very picky, when it comes to vegetables and dried raisins.
The results were amazing, they ate everything. I'm so glad I took my kids food critic to make something they like.
