well I was raised same way BTY, eat or go to bed hungry, so we ate. my kids were raised same way, the boys had a friend who was rude when it came to dinner he would say oh i dont eat that or like that and yep you guessed it my answer was too bad, thats dinner, like I tell my kids this isnt a cafe

I am sure it was easier for me, I liked everything, so that wasnt an issue with me, my kids were also good eaters, and debbies kids loved my cooking so it worked out pretty well for us, hopefully they wont let their kids control whats for dinner
