[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not only should she be forced to sit with the family she should be forced to eat the meat. [/quote]

:shock: wow.  No way.  I think she should still sit at the table, though.[/quote]
I don't deal with picky eaters. You eat everything on your plate or you don't leave the table. It's not a full plate but a little of everything. None of this I don't like it crap, if I know you don't like it we have it more often hehe [/quote]

This isn't about being a picky eater. OPs daughter has a moral objection to the meat. Are you trying to raise blind followers, or decent adults with a solid moral compass? I am 100% supportive of my child developing their moral standards. I would expect her to eat at the table with the family, but I would not ask her to go against her convictions if I believed they were serious convictions.[/quote]
Op's dd is a child. Children don't make their own choices, they don't have moral convictions. They follow their parents blindly , or at least they should. [/quote]

Yeah, no. And even if you think they are due to surface compliance that you bully out of them, you have a big surprise coming your way later in life.[/quote]
