[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] op here. He regressed. He used to feed himself but now he says mommy do it! And no we're far from being overweight. [/quote]

So he's capable but doesn't want to. Don't feed him. He's old enough to feed himself, and he'll quickly learn that if he doesn't feed himself, he goes hungry.

[quote=Anonymous] Most of the time he runs away while we're having dinner. We don't always have dinner at the same time because we have different work hours. Sometimes I eat early and dh comes home late and other times I work from home late and dh gives him dinner. Yesterday we were all sitting together and we were eating noodles. Dh had a different meal. [/quote]

If he runs away from the table, dinner is over for him and he goes hungry. Or bring him back when he runs away, and if he throws a fit, then he goes straight to bed with no dinner. There are many options besides chasing after him with food.

I feel your pain, OP. My DH is similar with our DC, and a lot of my friends' husbands are the same as well. A lot of men refuse to read or learn about parenting, so they don't understand what's developmentally appropriate, how to teach, discipline, etc. It might help if you print out an article on teaching kids table manners for your DH to read.

Is your DC in daycare or preschool? They are usually very strict with meals, so it may be helpful for your husband to watch a meal with them and see what your DC is actually capable of. [/quote]
