Look, kids are jerks. Let’s not mince words. Especially toddlers, who are experts at refusing even the most lovingly composed meal. We’ve all been at our wits’ end with kids who turn their noses up at the things we prepare for the dumbest reasons. Rejoice parents, you’re not alone. The “My Kid Can’t Eat This” Instagram account is here to show you all kids are ridiculous when it comes to eating… not just yours.

I never understood the cliché “youth is wasted on the young” until I tried to feed a toddler or get him to nap. Seriously? Toddlers are living the life. You know what I would call having someone following me around all day trying to get me to eat and nap? Heaven.

Of COURSE they managed to get this down.

See, parents? It’s not just your kid. Doesn’t that make you feel better?
