3 yr Old...Eating Disorder...
I know all of you may think right now she is probably at that stage of being a picker eater.
But things just do not seem right!
She is my step-daughter she comes over regularly and maybe over here soon on a full-time basis.
I don't talk to the mother because I am known as the "evil girlfriend" but my spouse has told me that she admits on giving her junk all the time....and Fast Food places a lot.......my spouse said it seems like my step-daughter's mom just didn't learn well and has made it a effect on her as well.
He has heard numerous time that she doesn't seem to have a lot of food in the house when she is at her mom......my spouse has even tried and discussed this with her but all she says that its normal...really?
Even when I give her "junk" she seems to even not eat that at times, I always substitute with something healthy later.....but even then when she starts eating, that is when she says her tummy hurts and then when she isn't she is fine....something is wrong there and I wish I could do something about it, but nothing seems to be working.
I ask her what she wants to eat, or if I want to give her something I KNOW she likes and I ask her....she is always good at Breakfast but for everything else it is like this.
Every time she comes here she mentions fries or going to McDonald its bad.....but yeah like I said at the same time she seems to feel better when she just doesn't eat!!
Today I gave her what she likes at lunch time and then she threw it all up...it just doesn't seem right at all.
I am so worried, yeah shes not my kid and honestly the way things are I just feel like I shouldn't care anymore because I just cant stand they way she is being taught (that's along with everything else)
I think something needs to be done and it doesn't seem right.......oh I feed her every meal and gives her snacks and see if she eats it....and I try and take away any distraction possible....but just remember what I also said before!
UH!

She is in the picky eater stage, however, there is a lot going on with this child with her parents being separated and new people in her life. All you can do is feed her what she likes and try to introduce new foods slowly. Sometimes it takes 5-9 times to introduce a food to a child that they will accept, however, if they do not want it you have to not make a fuss and let it go. If you are concerned she may have a medical issue from the vomiting, then have her checked by her MD. The Child Behavior Forum may give you additional information. Thank you for your question.
Theirs a question in the parenting 1-5 that has kept going on since 2004 that can kind of relate to my situation.....I hope I can get a doctor or something to help me and everyone else out!!
