Got a picky eater? Here’s a new Instagram account we can totally relate to

Sophie White

For anyone out there who is struggling with picky eaters, this Instagram is for you.

After just a few weeks, 53,000 followers have joined the account MyKidCan’tEatThis. Look at it as a global support group for parents along the lines of living with Terminally Picky Eaters (TPE).

Every time the little darling flings a piece of toast on the floor or in your face because it is too buttery (I mean really, who ever thought toast could be too buttery?) take a snap. Tag it with #mykidcan’teatthis along with their totally rational not at all infuriating or insane reason and it will appear on the account to sooth and amuse thousands more parents, like you, living with TPE. You are not alone.

Here are some of our fave posts from the parenting trenches:

#MyKidCantEatThis because the juice is too wet. – @__hellsbells

And the single best post of the entire account… He won’t eat it ’cause it’s too cute. Adorable.
