[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Especially for holidays? I have a relative whose parenting around food is very different from my own. I'm not saying either of us is right or wrong, but I'm hoping to get a better sense of what they're thinking so I can propose some compromises.[/quote] I guess I am outlier here. My kids eat what I make or they can have a peanut butter sandwich (that they make themselves). For the holidays - I fully expect something on the table they will eat - mashed potatoes, plain Turkey, green beans. I don’t want meal time to be an argument. Should be enjoyable and more than just food it is a time for gathering and conversation -esp. on the holidays. My kids are usually willing to try stuff (and they like it) but they know a peanut butter sandwich is an option which I think provides less pressure.[/quote]
