[quote=Anonymous]I can understand that this is frustrating. Please know this perspective is coming from a from-scratch, organic cooking mother...so just know it's only an opinion. I think you need to chill out a bit. You're micro-managing the eating too much. I don't allow meal time to become a battle. I would make simple, fresh foods that the whole family can eat in the way they want. Make plain meat, plain rice, plain potatoes, etc. and let everyone dress up the items the way they want. He might be eating so much breakfast food because he's starving after not having food for dinner. I used to have an eating disorder, and would not eat dinner on purpose, and remember laying in bed day dreaming about what I'd have for breakfast because I would be so hungry from skipping that meal. He won't go to college only eating grilled cheese. Perhaps stop being so regimented, and focus on the family time during dinner as primary importance. Also, maybe plain, healthy snacks in the fridge that he can access whenever he wants. So, I guess I'd be more concerned about his nutrition than I would be the battle.[/quote]
