She doesn't eat meat except salami, pepperoni and chicken nuggets (if you consider those meat) . I don't keep any of those in the house. She won't eat vegetables and will sometimes eat grapes and mandarin oranges for fruit. Her parents insist she eats everything at home, so I'm not sure what to do.
Stop catering to her pickiness.
Make a well balanced lunch and serve it. Stick to YOUR meal times.
If she eats, she eats.
If she doesn't, then she doesn't. HER choice.
