[QUOTE="april1974, post: 435977, member: 12128"] I don't make dinner a battle, fighting over food generally doesn't happen in my house, I usually have at least one item they each like on their plates and I will let them have a bowl of healthy cerial before bed if they didn't like dinner. My rule at the table is they have to be excused from the table and no dessert if they don't try what I've made, if they don't eat I will let them have a healthy dessert like strawberries or an apple. Dinner time is more stressful for my husband than me, and usually it runs smoother when it's just me & the boys. I'm bad for eating dinner later, I putter in the kitchen while my men eat dinner or I will sit while they eat, it's about 50/50 if I eat when they do. I know I should eat when they eat but I'm still there while they eat, talking etc, and usually I'm in waitress mode, bringing this, cutting that, serving this etc...I don't mind. I think I have adhd myself so this works for us. [/QUOTE]
