[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did not at that age. We started eating together when DC was 5.

I always disliked the "eat as a family" emphasis. Neither the timing nor the menu worked for us.  It's not like you can never start, later, when it does make sense.[/quote]

Can you explain what you mean by the menu didn't work?  [/quote]

DP. I don’t believe in forcing kids to eat foods they don’t like or threatening they will go hungry. [/quote]

NP. So if your kids don’t like vegetables, they never have to eat them? [/quote]

No I do force vegetables. But I don’t force any smelly, saucy, or exotic foods. [/quote]

That's weird, sorry. I don't force my kids to eat anything either but I definitely serve and expose them to "smelly, exotic" food. There's no bigger turnoff than an adult who only eats chicken fingers. [/quote]

Not PP, but to be fair, she did say "smelly" OR "exotic."  So, "smelly" might just mean salmon, for example.   My DH is an immigrant, so what is exotic to some families (and, frankly, me) is normal for them.  But, no matter where you are from and whatever is "not exotic" for you, there will be something is exotic.
