Remember the old classic, Love is a Battlefield by Pat Benatar? Quite aptly it came on the radio the other day just as Holly and I were having a battle involving the throwing of sandwiches and a general refusal to eat anything other than raisins. So in my muddled brain, I am almost sure the lyrics had become "Lunch is a Battlefield". With that in mind, I have dreamed up my version of the song for your amusement. If you too have an unruly, non eating, high chair jumping out of, flood throwing mini monster in your house, feel free to embrace it as your war cry or battle anthem or perhaps to gain a steady rhythm when your toddler has finally broken your will and you are rocking back and forth in a corner...
You are young, breadstick to breadstick we stand
My promises, your raisin demands
Lunch is a battlefield
Woah...you are strong. I hope this phase doesn't last long
Searching the food cupboards for so long, both of us knowing,
Lunch is a battlefield...
Your throwing your lunch, you're only wanting to play
Why do you drive mummy mad?
It would help me to know
Is my cooking at fault or the best lunch you've had?
Believe me , believe me I can't tell you why
But I hate that you're fussy, and have no appetite.
You are young, breadstick to breadstick we stand
My promises, your raisin demands
Lunch is a battlefield...
Woah...you are strong. I hope this phase doesn't last long
Searching the food cupboards for so long, both of us knowing,
Lunch is a battlefield...
I'm losing control
Will you turn lunch away only you can decide
And before this gets old, will it be still be the same
There's no way this will die
But if it goes longer, I could lose control
When your will surrenders, lunch will be cold
You are young, breadstick to breadstick we stand
My promises, your raisin demands
Lunch is a battlefield...
Woah...you are strong. I hope this phase doesn't last long
Searching the food cupboards for so long, both of us knowing,
Lunch is a battlefield...
For anyone looking for the original song, here you go! Enjoy!

Oh my gosh I'm laughing so much here! That song's an old favourite of mine and I can relate to this post so much, J is such a fussy eater. He always scoffs down breakfast, eats his lunch most days, but he just refuses his dinner point blank and it ends up either in his head or on the floor! x
Glad you like the song.The original is a classic! H has really just started playing up a little bit at meal times. I think it's stressful at the time but hopefully something I can look back on and laugh once it's over!
