As We Live
By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D.
HER HUSBAND'S FATHER
COMPLAINS ABOUT FOOD
What appeals to a child does
not appeal to be a teenager,
and what a teenager likes in
food usually astounds an adult.
Old people, on the other hand,
often present more difficult feed
ing problems than a young child
does. A woman writes:
(Q) "Mr husband'! father,
. who is in his late sixties, lives
. with us. We have three chil
dren, ranging in age from six
to 17 years. As my husband's
salary is not large. I have to
budget very carefully for
everything, especially food. I
; usually, buy the less expen
: sive cuts of meal and serve
: them in as appetizing form
w as I can. We have to use a lot
of canned fruits and vege- .
- tables, as the fresh and f roxen
ones are too expensive. My
; f ajher-in-law is always com- .
' plaining about how tough the
. meat is, how much he dislikes ,
this or that vegetable, and this
--sets a bad example for the
children. I would give him the
' food he likes if I could afford
. it and if I had lime to cook
separate meals for him. But, I
can't afford it and I have
plenty of work to do without
, cooking extra meals for him.
What shall I do?"
"' (A) Why not talk to your
father-in-law, in private, about
the situation. Explain to him
why you serve the food you do,
and be sure to emphasize that
"you would like "to give hinrthe
food he likes. Let him know why
you can't. " "
" '. Then let him realize that his
complaining is setting a bad ex
ample for your children. Tell
him that it makes things just
that much harder for you to have
the family feel that the best
you can do is not good enough.
' If your father-in-law has a
pension, even though it is small,
why not ask him to give you
"some money to buy the food
5ie likes and prepare it the way
he likes it? This really would
not make much extra work for
.you; you will be cooking any
..way. - '
j ; You could explain this to your
children by saying that older
people have to have certain types
of food for energy and to help
their digestion. Also explain to
them that, as "people grow older,
they eat less and have less ap
petite. They must be catered
;to, much like a semi-invalid if
'they are to 'be well-nourished
and happy.
