I agree, a smart kid. <br /><br />On the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 this morning they had experts advocating 'tough love' to secure a successful adulthood for your child. Sounds familiar? Wasn't this what our parents did with us? Told us what to do and told us 'no, you can't' occasionally. <br /><br />Funny old world. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658858373848443540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-729260409011816322009-11-09T18:20:25.781+00:002009-11-09T18:20:25.781+00:00That girl has been mollycoddled into thinking she ...That girl has been mollycoddled into thinking she has suffered some psychological trauma due to vegetables and now has a phobia for them.

I wonder if he's going to need psychological counseling?<br /><br />And actually, when I was a kid I really couldn't eat certain vegetables (among other things) without gagging. It's the texture.
