But when you have a picky eater, isn’t there a point in time where you should just make your kid eat some veggies and healthy food? I used to be a picky eater as a kid and my parents wouldn’t let me leave the table until I finished dinner (where I would have to eat the veggies is despised).

I have a toddler so it’s a little different but she has her periods of very picky eating. We do all the tricks of sneaking veggies in sauces, smoothies, pasta, etc. We offer a vegetable or a fruit with every meal, but we don’t force her to eat it as per the recommendation of everyone we’ve talked to about it. We simply don’t really offer junk food as filler. She’ll get a cookie or something junky once in awhile (she’s in a wedding today, for example, and getting chicken tenders and fries, which is the kids meal), but it’s really not the norm. I think it’s so much more important to simply not offer junk as anything more than a special treat to be consumed in moderation than to force feed, which is only likely to make her hate vegetables and resent us.
Definitely nothing against your parents or anyone else - getting kids to eat stuff that’s good for them is HARD, just also trying to highlight that it’s really not that difficult to avoid giving kids junk food like 90% of the time. And I’m totally a parent that thinks that junk food has its place - just not in the way that Jess seems to rely on it.

My sister in law is trying to get my niece to eat better. She refused to try her French dip last night so my SIL took away the fries. 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.
Jesus Christ that’s a bit extreme for a 2 year old they don’t understand
She’s almost 2 Jessica not 1. Just because you have an obsession with having babies doesn’t mean you can keep her one forever. This isn’t even the right size.

It makes me wonder how tight around the neck it is if it’s pulled up that tight around the body.
I’m assuming so but I’m really not sure, I wasn’t there. They left our house shortly after and my SIL texted me the next day that she finally ate it. I don’t know if someone gave her something else inbetween, she doesn’t live with us; just over for dinner.
If she went 17 hrs with no food for not trying a new food is child abuse. If it wad me I personally would let my SIL have it. That's is horrible

I'm sorry but that's not child abuse. I was raised the same way and will do the same thing with my children. I doubt she didn't get anything inbetween but even if she didn't, that's fine. She had food she could eat, if she only tried one bite of the sandwich she could eat something completely different. That's how you make sure you're kids aren't picky eaters. We always needed to try the amount of bites according to our age. So if we were 3 years old, 3 bites. Me and my siblings will try anything now, because how stupid does it look to go on a business dinner or dinner with your in-laws and have to say you will not try the food they made.

No, it's cruel and bad parenting. I don't want to drag this discussion on longer because it's irrelevant to Jess but that is no good parenting.

Toddlers hitting other toddlers is one of my pet peeves but I realized that they’re just kids so its really the parents duty and obligation to correct them right at that moment when hitting was done so good job to her for doing that. Damn! Addie is a handful
Addie is a bit aggressive. She had that baby pinned against the wall pretty much. I know she has older siblings and is used to rough and tumble. But that is going to be interesting when she starts school and that behaviour isn’t corrected.
Does Messs only have 2 shirts? That horrible red shirt and the merch one. Almost every second thumbnail has either of those shirts in it.

Tar babies are what the vintage black dolls were called when they came out.They were black as pitch,that's where the name came from.They were in the museum.And they won't give you nightmares,like Jess claimed.I wanted to bang my head when she said that.And she even added a darn scream.Ha ha very funny. ::sarcasm:: Does she not know a vintage doll when she sees one,surely
Aunt Jemima was a tar baby when she first came out.And no,I'm not going to tell you how old I am.LOL.But I have used some of those old cameras and phones in the museum.I think Jess would die if she ever had to dial a phone,or get UP to change the tv channel.LOL

I hate how she even told her off in a baby voice, and what I hated more was her big finger right in Addie's face pointing and telling her off. She has no idea how to effectively discipline at all.
