I'm sure this has been done before,,but I have 2dcs and each evening now dinner times have become a nightmare. Dd aged 4, just picks, distracts and talks constantly, then it's "mummy help me", I'm not Hungary,.,blah,blah,blah. Little brother aged 2 is slightly better but has started to copy her.
We generally all eat together and they have what me and dh are having, so quiTe varied. Tonight was a tomatoe and pepper stew with eggs baked (actually that sounds mingling, but its nice,I promise you) and bread to dip. Se just ate the bread. We said no more bread until you eat more, but she basically sat their and moaned, so I just took it away in the end. Usually they have fruit or/and yoghurt, occasionally a homemade pud or treaty thing. But tonight I just said 'dinners over'.
Me and dh have feel like we've tried most things, no snacks before dinner, ignoring it, saying no pads, but they just won't eat what I cook or any meal really. We are trying to be calm and not get stressed with them (dd worst), but they eat all other meals, just not a good hot dinner.
...what I would like to know is,..is their anything we can do? And will it be like is forever?!!
Ay help/ tips much appreciated.
Sorry this post is so long,,so thanks if you have got this far.
