Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

  Hahaha, let me ask my toddler if he wants salad or chocolate.

    Haha my son ironically hates both of these things. He would choose to eat air in his room.

    This is why whenever my toddler asks for Mac and cheese I give him a dry salad. Gotta build that character.

  You don’t have children, do you? She had the option of Pizza, Jimmy John’s, Chinese or nothing. She said no Jimmy John’s or Chinese.

    It’s crazy that you went way out of your way to placate the internet assholes and they still found something to be insufferable about.

        I just take it as an opportunity to block people these days. “You gave your kid pizza so you’re a shit lazy parent and no mitigating factor will be considered” is a pretty clear indicator that they don’t need any openings into my attention span lol.

    You don’t have children, do you?

    I’m not sure that person has ever seen a child

  Look man, picky eating is way more complicated than, “just make the kid get over it.”

  Trying to force food choices isn’t gonna do anything but give the kid complexes about trying new foods due to the high pressure they were taught to see those experiences as.

  Yeah, I wouldn’t have gotten dinner as a kid if I was that picky.

  I’m pretty much with you on this one. A lot of these people sound like they have terrible boundaries with their children. I get OP’s in a difficult situation, but I don’t get why they’re complaining about spending $30 on pizza when they agreed to pay that before it was even delivered. I’m not saying OP should’ve been like “you will eat what I say or you will go without dinner,” but really, as a parent you can give your child realistic options that don’t require you hiding in the garage for a couple hours. Ham sandwiches don’t smell, lots of foods don’t smell. If they “refuse,” they’re still going to want to eat later when they’re hungrier, and you make the same food choices available.

  Also a large deep dish pizza from Jet’s is like $18, and it’s really hard to overstate how much more food and how much better their pizza is. Domino’s is clearly preying on people who don’t know any better or who don’t have any other options.
