tells me my dinners are disgusting

-- The moment she does that, just clear her plate.

Re: your husband, what does he say when you talk to him about these issues?

My general opinion is that things that can easily be enforced, should be enforced consistently and swiftly, i.e. saying her meal is disgusting results in immediately ending the meal.  Other things that are harder to have a natural consequence for should just be ignored.  Eye rolling, for example.  I mean, that's just not a hill I would die on.[/quote]
