My dd is 3 and since my ds of now 9 months was weaned she's been really difficult with her meals. I guess as she sees me feeding him she wants me to feed her. I've tried giving in to it and feeding her, but typically they eat at the same time so its near impossible to do both of them at the same time, and she is more than capable of feeding herself now. When my ds is being difficult as well and needs distracting to eat its a nightmare and I can't walk away from it as he's a big boy and will wake up at night if he doesn't eat him meals (has happened before).
I've also tried taking her dinner away and that she's to go to bed without any dinner, and she just gets down and goes off in a sulk. It doesn't seem to have any effect. She has always been a very difficult eater so am used to it really I suppose.
My ds cries a lot and needs a lot of attention from me, very clingy at the moment too, so its not like I can leave him and feed her separately incase its jealousy.
Anyone got any ideas as its driving me crazy cajoling her into eating at every meal, and trying to bribe her. Also my temper just flares every night as I don't seem to have much patience these days!
