That was my one sit at the table long after everyone else was gone. I just never did that to my kids?
We were allowed to get what we wanted that was cooked for a meal but we had to eat all we got. If we didn't know about a food we had a taste before putting it on our plate. I never understood having food battles with children especially a child not yours. My aunt tried the not get up until the food was gone when she kept my brother and me for a few days and she put the food on our plates. My brother vomited all over the table when forced to eat beets. That ended that jerk move. We never liked her since and even when we got older we kept our distance.
