Not eating my food?

Question

So I’m a young mom and didn’t learn to cook at all. YouTube has been my place of learning to cook. I made mashed potatoes and wings. Her dad and I ate the food. It was good! My daughter won’t eat the food. At all. But she’ll eat it if it’s out from fast food. What can I do?! I’m sick of it and it’s embarrassing when he’s laughing that she won’t eat my food. It’s not bad at all. I’m learning but I wouldn’t feed them something gross. Help! Edit: she’s 5!

Answer

Stand firm in telling her what’s for dinner, if she want to refuse let her. But don’t give in. Eventually she will eat it if she’s hungry

Answer

Who’s he? Your partner? Aside the rest said, if your partner is laughing g bc your daughter won’t eat the food you made, have him make food for you all🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

When he gets older, Unless its something my son absolutely couldnt stand, then i would make him eat it. He should be grateful for the food that was made for him, and not be longing for mcdonalds. He is only 2 right now and does have favorite foods, so i do try to give him what he likes but I will cook it from home and incorporate some new foods in there

Answer

My daughter has always been an excellent eater until a couple of month ago. She still eats healthy, but complains mostly about dinners I make (that she’s eaten all her life). It’s because after her dad and I split up the only thing she eats with him is fast food or at restaurants (he doesn’t cook anymore 🙄). I just tell that’s what’s for dinner, I know she likes it, and leave it at that. If she doesn’t eat what I make then she doesn’t have dinner 🤷‍♀️

Answer

You like what you eat growing up. If she’s used to fast food then that’s what she’s craving! 
You just have to get her used to it. It’s not your cooking I’m sure, it’s just not something she is used to so not comfortable with it yet 
Keep trying!

Answer

I’ll be honest this sounds pretty typical. My kids went through a phase of never eating anything I made for like 4 years lol. And I’m a good cook, and experienced.  I don’t think it’s you.
