Oh my gosh! So now I know why we connect so well! 🤣🤣🤣
I remember having the moth full of soggy veggies and chewing for eternity until I could escape to the toilet. 😅
So you too had a plan b until it was also discovered. So funny.
🤣🤣🤣 Your husband’s reason is Hilarious!!!
Yes, I have learned to say most likely not or I don’t think I’d etc etc. No more never say nevers for me! 😄
Thanks for sharing that, I enjoyed it! ❤️
I'm just glad plan b was discovered when we weren't there. We'd moved on ahead, so it was just my dad sorting the house out. I'd have been in so much trouble if I'd been there! 😅 I don't even know why he moved the radiator to end up discovering it. Some years later he mentioned that he used to use a handkerchief to spit his veggies into.
My only rule with my girls was that if they couldn't eat their dinner, they didn't get dessert. There was no way I was going to force them to sit at the table for hours of they really weren't hungry any more and going without dessert was usually a good sign that they weren't hungry. They also didn't get fed veggies they really couldn't stomach. My other rule was that they had to try everything at least once, twice if cooked differently and if they really didn't like it I wouldn't push it any further. We all have thugs we really don't like, even as adults.

That is exactly what we do with our kids now. My husband was forced to try new foods and I was forced to eat veggies, we definitely don’t want to do that to our kids. Taking away their dessert privilege usually helps motivate them to eat their vegetables.
I also encourage them to try foods out first before they knock it. Most times they are happy I had them try something because they end up liking it :)
I was thinking of this post and our conversation on Saturday, when I overheard my dad talking about how he didn't like food that had gone cold, because as children if they didn't eat their meal it would go in the fridge and be put back in front of them next meal time. He'd go for days without eating because of this. Then he went and did what he did to us!
Oh wow! Isn't that something lol. Sometimes we do make our kids eat their meal from the night before (to stop waste) but of course we do warm it for them. I can imagine how that was to not want to eat cold food. 🥴
