Here's sample of the dynamics involved :
Daddy : Do you want a ham sandwich in your lunch today ?
LP : No, I don't like it.
D : How about a chicken wrap ?
LP : No.
D : Beef-barley soup ?
LP : No.
D : COME ON !!!!!
LP : Ok, I'll have a ham sandwich

But as this blog in not titled "Self-help for FUSLP (Fathers Unable to Stand up to their Little Princess)", and since, as they say, it takes two to tango, we'll address LP's culinary fuss.
Lesson for the day (long version) : We eat to live, not live to eat. If you are unable (or unwilling) to cook for yourself, or if you are a guest, the right thing to do is to accept what is offered to you, period. Without going into the poor-children-of-the-third-world-who-don't-get-enough-to-eat routine, let's just say that, should you not care for what is offered to you, you should not make a fuss about it. First, make a mental note to not include the disliked selection on your menu when you are out to college. Second, make a choice : you are free to eat what is in front of you... or not. If you choose the latter, please know that it is rude to ask for something else instead.
Lesson for the day (short version) : Eat what's in you plate or go without.
This is not a freaking restaurant.
