[quote=Anonymous]I know some kids eat a lot and some kids don't eat much.  Our daughter is almost five and she's been 34lbs for almost a year now. She just saw her doctor and she's clearly underweight for almost 5.  My husband gets very angry almost every time we eat because unless our daughter is eating dessert she eats very slow or barely at all.  My husband will start to scream and then she finally eats.  It's almost as if she is waiting for the "last straw".  Problem is I can tell this puts a strain on their relationship and he becomes very angry.  We are very well off (thankfully) and have plenty of food, etc.  I understand why my husband gets angry because I get angry too, but he takes it to the next level.  He's really angry when she doesn't eat, especially when we KNOW she can eat.

My concern is their relationship will be hurt over this.  This problem has been ongoing for over a year now.  The only time our daughter will eat properly is if she's very hungry (near staving).  Else, she'll rather play or just mess around at the table.  [/quote]
