I was a smug mom who made all my kids' baby food from scratch. Now they eat junk food, and I've made peace with it.

Résumé détaillé

I obsessed over my sons' diets when they were little. Now I let them make their own food choices, even though I don't agree with them.

When my two sons were babies, I was one of those moms. As a "sanctimommy," I was obsessed with giving them the best start in life. It started easily enough, with exclusively breastfeeding. Then, when they started eating solids, I made all my own baby food. I spent hours steaming and pureeing fruit and vegetables, and freezing them in tiny ice cube trays. If we were on the go and my babies needed a snack, I'd skip the jarred baby food and mash up a banana with a fork. I was all natural, all the time. I never made my kids the usual family favorites like frozen pizza, mac and cheese, or chicken nuggets.
