DS (2.3) is generally a good eater, likes his veggies etc but sometimes he doesn't want to eat his dinner. I was a terribly fussy eater as a child and DS is way way better then i ever was. When he doesn't want to eat his food, i don't make a big deal about him having to eat it, he just doesn't get anything else instead.
tonight we were having tea together (we only really eat all together at the weekends as due to work this would make tea too late in the week). DS wouldn't eat any of his. DP is making a big deal about it saying he can't watch anymore telly tonight unless he eats his tea, then he can't watch any telly tomorrow either. The more he goes on the less likely DS is to eat anything so he ends up eating nothing. DS ends up in tears, i'm nearly in tears, DP keeps getting food on the fork and trying to push it into DS's mouth.
DP says DS needs to learn to eat his dinner, i don't want the dinner table to become a battle ground, when i'm with him on my own in the week and the days i'm at work when my mum looks after him he is generally good at eating although on ocassions he doesn't eat much.
