[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You actually let your hild go fix himself something he "liked" after an adult prepared a full dinner? 
You honestly think that was ok?[/quote]

Isn't that the going wisdom for picky eaters? Not turning food into a battle and also letting them know you aren't a short order cook? [/quote]

I am the pp of the above. My kids know that what I cook is what is available for dinner. I also always make things that I know they like. May try out a new side dish that they can try and choose not to take a serving. There are ALWAYS proven favorites on the table. Now that they are young teenagers, they often tell me "your food is the best". 
It is downright rude for someone, regardless of age, to get up from a table and declare that they are going to make something they like. Especially when guests are at the table. 
I have taught my kids to be polite at our table or anyone else's table. The result is that they eat like normal people, not self-important spoiled brats who have to get up and get themselves a "sandwich and a fruit" when there is a hot home cooked nourishing meal on the table.
Enjoy your leftovers.[/quote]
