[QUOTE="DDD, post: 548741, member: 35"] Sorry you are having this issue. Frankly I never had to cope with it except in a limited way. The only two rules that I ever made and enforced were these (1) everyone sits at the table together at dinner time..even if they are not hungry.(2) if anyone strongly dislikes what's on the menu then after clearance from Mom they can make what they choose to eat at dinner time. Cleanup mandatory. The issues were different at my house. Those time periods (length of time varying from a couple days to a couple of weeks) usually were for attention or to avoid family or whatever?? None had a serious problem. on the other hand, lol, sitting at the dining table watching everyone else eat and chit chat wasn't fun and usually soon the empty plate before them would have a celery stick or something just because they were bored. The mandate to decide prior to dinner cut into their afternoon freedom and took away the drama from meal time. Hope you find the "right" answer. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
