Oh tonight was on of those night where my older two kids decided after sitting down for dinner that I had been cooking all day that they didn't want to eat it. So both me and my husband told them of they didn't want to eat their dinner the. They could go up stairs and get ready for bed. My mom always said if a kid is really hungry they will eat. So they went up stairs got ready for bed and went to sleep. They must have been tired because they where passed out before even me and my husband got up stairs

Well, if they are sleepy and tired then should just hit the bed. Nothing wrong with that I think.

Good for you, Mom! There's no need to be a short order cook at dinnertime. People need to eat the food that was prepared for them, even if it's not as fun as fast food.

Yes! My mom use to do that me and my brothers. What she made we are and when we where old enough of we didn't like it we could fix and clean up what we made. Mom would only make something else when she knew for the fact that we didn't eat t which was normally a night she did fish and I would eat left overs.

Sometimes it is best to listen to the kids. I know I get beat sometimes and if I don't want to eat I don't. I saw a few times when my kids were little I knew not to push it as usually it meant they were coming down with something.

They are going through this stage where they refuse to eat anything I make unless it's fast food, or what they want. I don't do I'm making 5 different meals for 5 different people. I know they like and eat meat loaf they just didn't want tonight. My 4 year old said he doesn't like eating at home and I told him well mommy does it was her favorite thing as a kid and it's a lot better for you then fast food. It just means in the morning they will eat a really good breakfast and I at least know they didn't go to bed to hungry they had a small snack before dinner

@ShyBear88 I don't think they will go hungry. I was always told not to force them to eat as they could be coming down with something.
