to expect a 10 year old to finish his biscuit?

[bananatrifle]

I don't mind a child trying anything to see if they like it - it's a good thing in my mind as it widens their taste experiences. Anyway, I always give just a small amount of whatever it is (teaspoonful for example) and if they like it then they can have more. If they don't then nothing's lost.

However, surely a 10 year old should finish a small amaretti (spelling?) biscuit, not eat half of it, try to put it back on the plate and then say he was going to put it in the bin as he didn't like it. I can understand that they're not to everyone's liking, but I think it's rude to just not finish what you've started to eat. It's not a very big biscuit, and I think the principle is to just eat something that you've started.

No big deal really, just wondered what anyone else thought?

I bet weaning was fun in your house

YABU I'm pissed off my ds 12 years, cleared out the biscuit stash.

they have a horrid texture and can be quite strong.

good on the 10yr old for standing thier ground!

Agree that you need a dog. Problem solved :)

The only person being ill mannered in these circumstances banana is you.

no i wouldnt expect a child to eat a biscuit they didnt like, if they tried it and didnt want to finish it i would put it in the bin or out in the garden for the birds!
