I’m always looking around for a Candid Camera host. I am really interested in the “running away” suggestion, though. At least for a night. A hotel room with no kids, maybe some room service and TV Land reruns sounds like heaven to me. =)

But, you are doing a great job, sometimes you just got to roll with it (I also suggest running away).

Oh, I could totally see the following situation. Kids come out, “Mom, we’re still hungry.” And I say, “Great, hold on a second.” Turn around, reach into the fridge, pull out their dinner plates and say, “Here you go!” I am sooo going to do that!
Mindy
“Dictator” is the only word I could come up with that seemed strangely appropriate enough. =) And it really is a delicate balance between encouraging the proper way to eat and discouraging blatant refusal to eat. Man, this parenting stuff is tough! =)
Mindy
Wendy, you are too funny! “Monkey balls.” I’m using that next time they won’t eat dinner…I’ll say, “Hey, you could be eating monkey balls right now.” =)

]]>“Save some of her dinner”. That’s hilarious! These little kids are certainly crafty, huh? Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a reply! Very much appreciated!
Mindy
I know…aren’t they? I may have to think about leaving their dinner plates out…the cleaning fanatic in me has a really hard time with that. =)
