Default Re: Will you or do you or did you force your children to eat?

I guess I don't get it, when did food become anything other than something that you have to do to keep yourself alive, like breathing. I guess I have never met anyone who wouldn't eat something if they were hungry. You are the adult, you are responsible for putting a healthy array of food on the table at food time. I think turning dinnertime into power struggle or eat one bite or clean your plate etc... just leads to adults who have all these emotional issues with food and become obese or picky. I hope I don't sound heartless but I didn't put up with any of that crap and my kid didn't starve.
