I feel horrible right now. The last couple of times I brought my son out to eat he will not eat. He puts this poor little face on like something is wrong and he looks scared. Well today I took him out for breakfast because DH was bothering us that he wanted to eat waffles out. Well I ordered cereal for my son that I knew would be safe and he got it and just looked at it and then had that face on. I then asked if he wanted a piece of my pancake and he looked so scared he had one bite and said he did not want anymore. He then told me that the place we went to also serves shellfish and he did not want to get a reaxtion. Mind you he is only 5.
I think I got him so nervous that he does not want to eat out. I feel horrible about this. I know it is my fault because I am always telling my hubby no we can not go there or no he can not have that. I think I made my son crazy. All I was trying to do was to teach him and I screwed that up. It is because I am so scared about it and he now picked up on it.
Please ladies what do I do now. I am scared and I can not help it, I know I have to try not to show it. But I also wanted him to understand how important it is to be safe.
