The sandwich sat on the table all evening, my niece watched us eat our dessert. SIL took the sandwhich home with her, my niece finally ate it at 11am. It took 17 hours of tantrums, time outs, and crying for a 2 year old to take a bite of meat off from a sandwhich. 1 bite. SIL just wanted her to take 1 bite and then said she would make her a pb&j but my niece refused. She’s 2.5 and kept trying to tell on her Mom to everyone.
I would think going 17 hours without food,for a child that age,would be worse than them not trying a bite of something new.Maybe it had too much texture for her.I would have put a bite of the sandwich out and let her become familiar with it,the way it looks /smells,and then go ahead and make the p b and j sandwich for her.
I say a bite of the sandwich,bc the whole thing of something new at once can seem overwhelming to a small child.
I think your sil was too harsh in this instance.Jmo
I just looked up what a French dip is. It looks completely disgusting.
Does she think people won't notice how fluorescent green the grass is in that photo? She obviously has the contrast way up.
