[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 203902, member: 84"] :rofl: Couldn't begin to count the number of times I'd said that in 25 yrs. And ya know what? They learn to fill up on what they do like in the meal when they have to wait til the next meal to eat again. I'm also not one to force someone (even a kid) to eat something they really don't like. But I do force them to take one bite each time it's served. Not to be mean, but in appreciation for the work involved in putting a meal in front of them, and because our sense of taste changes as we grow older. And that's how Nichole became a sweet potato cassarole lover. :D She swore she hated it from the age of 2-10 yrs. Each time I made it she had to eat the required bite. Suddenly at age 11 she LOVED it. When my kids complain about the menu, I tell them about my step dad. He grew up in the Great depression in a huge family. As kids there was so little to eat they broke open chicken bones and ate the marrow. Some responses I've used: Yes, dear. I'm doing it just to poison you. Of course, my main goal in life is to make you throw up something I've spent hours cooking. Why, didn't you know? I cooked this because I [B][I]knew[/I][/B] you didn't like it. ;) (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
