[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: Do other countries have these issues with their kid and eating, especially non-Western countries? [/quote]

My mil is from an island in the pacific ocean. I can only speak for my inlaws' home, not for other parents in her home country, but serving lots of food to guests is important to my mil and seeing kids eat is important. She will cook anything she knows the grandchildren like if she notices that they aren't eating the food that is being served.  It is very important to her that they eat, and there are no food battles or even cajoling to eat certain things, the important thing is that the kids are eating anything. She was like this with the older grandchildren 20 yrs ago and she is like this with my young kids now. [/quote]

I can’t speak to her specific culture when it comes to people’s own kids, but there’s a difference between catering to your guests and “spoiling” your grandkids and how you deal with feeding your own children in your own home.[/quote]
