I warned the kids that they were going to have to sit at the table until they finished their plates tonight. I made sure there was no snacking all afternoon. Honestly, I am so tired of hearing that they don't like anything and they seem to have an uncanny ability to go days with out food so tonight I took a stand. Of course their plates had 1/4 tsp of stuffing, 1/2 tsp of potatoes with gravy, and an extremely small sliver of turkey.
At first there was peace and love that emanated all through our home... until they realized I was really going to make them sit there until they ate! Then I heard
'Why do I have to be tortured like this!'
'Your ruining my life!'
'Why do I have to eat this horrid food?'
'Why do you have to make my life so difficult?'
'Your torturing me worst than grandma!'
and of course the ol' 'your the meanest mom in the world!'
Of course while these lovely sentiments were being shared with me I ran to the computer to write the more memorable ones down!
