[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you all read OP’s responses? She realizes it wasn’t ideal parenting, she’s listening to our suggestions, please be open to helping her instead of tearing her down. NONE of us are perfect parents.

And you all act like 9 year olds don’t know how to manipulate and push boundaries. Thats what the 9 year old was doing here—she was pushing boundaries and op cited a history of giving in and it not going well. It sounds like op realizes that witholding the food isn’t the best way next time. I’m one of the few who suggested making the plate. My kids would have loved a PBJ or bread and butter over some of the balanced dinners, so this alternative would probably create more conflict in my house  so they could get a sweet PBJ before bed 😆 but once op finds her rhythm and what works, I trust they’ll be better off.

Many of us are responding with explanations of what was wrong, why it was wrong, and specific suggestions for changes. Please don’t lump us in with the trolls calling names or threatening CPS. [/quote]
