Yung kapatid ko (21F) is a picky eater & nakakafrustrate talaga. Ang gusto lang niya ay adobo, menudo, fried chicken or canned food. Ayaw niya ng beef, pasta, Chinese food, Japanese food, Korean food, Italian food, halos lahat ayaw kahit pancit canton ayaw niya.
Nakakainis lang kasi dapat may special food niluluto para sa kanya since ayaw naman rin niya magluto. Kung kumain kami sa labas, dapat kami magadjust sa kanya. Minsan kumain siya ng Jollibee kung nasa restaurant kami na ayaw niya ng food.
Idk why picky eaters yung ibang adults like my sister. Di siya kumain kung ayaw niya yung food - minsan magsabi pa siya na kadiri yung food or she makes a face na alam mo di niya nagustohan. Tbh itโs so rude & I feel like she should be grateful na may food. Nainis talaga ako sa mga taong maarte sa food.
It's partly your fault (the whole fam), or whoever accommodates her needs. It's usually understandable when it comes to kids, they really need time to adjust and get the courage to try new dishes/cuisines but your sister is an adult. Ang problema ng mga ganyan is that they've never been starved, to the point na wala na silang choice but kainin kung ano ang nasa table.
My tip for friends and family na may ganitong problema? Just prepare one single dish for let's say.. lunch. The picky eater doesn't like it? Then they can just not eat or sila na ang magluto kung kaya nila. Here comes dinner yun parin ang pagkain, or magluto kayo ng iba para sa mga kumain but yun parin ung para sa kanya. Same thing the day after and until they learn the lesson.
The important thing is that they either start being responsible by AT LEAST cooking their own food and to understand na siya dapat ang mad adjust and not the other way around. Bonus points if she starts eating something she usually doesn't.
