Yesterday I made mashed potatoes and home made chicken and noodles for lunch. Everyone ate it with no problems, except for my 2 1/2 yr old boy, who has become a pain in the butt at meal time. He has become very limited into what he will eat, and will put his arms on the table, pout and pretend to cry and push his plate away. I will remove his arms from the table, put the plate back in front of him. I tried to "help" him take a few bites, and he started to put on the "gag" show. The kicker is....at pick up at 3, he runs to his mom and says "I hungry", to which I said, well, you were given a nice meal of chicken and noodles and mashed potatoes, and you chose not to eat it. The mom says....I bet you didn't get a cupcake did you. NOPE! And I sure hope she didn't take him home and give him one.
The parents have the same problem at home, only they tell me he will sit at the table for 20 minutes crying, I would not tolerate that myself. You can go stand in the corner and pout. Anyways, the old food issue, tired of kids acting this way, tired of the waste, and too bad you went home hungry. "YOU GET WHAT YOU GET AND YOU DON'T THROW A FIT", and that saying came from my 5 yr old.
