We literally sent Evie straight to bed if she wasn't going to eat. She probably laid in bed for 30 minutes before falling asleep, but she did not get out of bed. I'm sure she will wake up starving. I can't do it. He knows I'm soft and I will feed him something. Kid has me figured out. He always asks me, not dad, because he knows the answer will be "well, you should have eaten more dinner. Good night!" She had been snacking prior to dinner, crackers and peaches, so it's not like she hadn't had anything since lunch. But she refused to try what I made. H is the one who quit negotiations and she got up and went to brush her teeth. If it had just been me, I'd have made her some easy Mac or a sandwich.

We require at least one bite before another food is given.

Life twins. Then every night before bed he's starving and I have to bring him a banana or something. It's exhausting. I only hope X is better but it's not looking good. Poppy is going to be different, right?! We literally sent Evie straight to bed if she wasn't going to eat. She probably laid in bed for 30 minutes before falling asleep, but she did not get out of bed. I'm sure she will wake up starving. S has skipped dinner a few nights lately. I am also so tired of the dinner fight nightly

Re: Dinner battle of the wills - I have found that if I leave the food sit out on the table, S will go back on her own and willingly eat about 20 min later. But at first you’d think I was asking her to do an impossible task. It’s not a battle I have in me. So I won’t give her anything else, but if she wants she can eat her dinner a bit later. I know in a way she still “wins” because she’s doing it on her terms. But girlfriend is only 30 lbs so if it means she’ll willingly eat, I call it a win. It’s just not on my timeline. But we don’t sit down and eat as a family either. S eats at 5:30ish. MH and I eat after she goes to bed around 7:30 most nights and we eat in the living room 96% of the time.

So I was catching up here and watching the news. There was a news story about a guy who was arrested for child porn. Then they listed where he has worked which includes our local YMCA and MY DAYCARE! They did state they weren't sure if he produced or just possessed it. I'm gonna need more info from daycare! I think he may have only been around E in group settings (karate demo or playground). In trying to process my feelings on this because there are some good males that work with kids and aren't creeps.

We’re on our way home from our cooking class. It was a lot of fun and we were paired with a fun couple which was a bonus. I’m a little sad we couldn’t take home leftovers like i thought we’d be able to. But the food was delicious and I’m stuffed.

Sunny41 oh my goodness, that would terrify me. Hope you can find out more soon. And just anecdotal; my mom has two men on her employee list, they’re amazing according to her and a very dear friend of mine also works at a daycare he’s so good with kids!

Dinner. C gets a treat when L goes to bed (usually a piece of his Valentine's candy), but he has to eat his dinner in order to get it (and have good behavior in general). Kid loves candy so he'll do anything to get it usually. Otherwise he'll say he's full, refuse to eat and then demand a peanut butter and jelly sandwich right before bed because he's hungry.

lfig we do that a lot too. Like, you don’t have to eat, but if you want to eat, this is the only thing that’s offered. Sometimes he’ll come back an hour later and eat it when we realizes there’s no other options. Sunny41 that’s terrible! I hope you get some answers!

I have a small list of things they can snack on after dinner. Any fruit or vegetable. I never refuse them that if they ask. A cheese stick, or yogurt tube. You're not getting fruit snacks and chips because you didn't like what I made for dinner. And I always make something they'll eat. Sometimes they just won't.

At dropoff today the administration were talking about it in the office at the entrance. It sounds like they found out from the same news story. He currently was only a karate instructor but years ago bad been a teacher. The school is covered in cameras then and now which are live monitored from the office. I am 99.9% sure the only contact he had with E was for 1-2 woke class karate demos. And 1 of them is on film on the school site. School said they are sending it a letter today but I think they are trying to process the news and get all the right info first
