[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 314341, member: 3444"] None of the kids wanted to go with husband and I to get a bite to eat tonight. Didn't like where we were going. Said they would make Spaghettios or mac and cheese or something else that's easy and they know how to make. Fine. We came back and difficult child 2 had fed himself as had easy child. difficult child 1, on the other hand, had opted to play computer games the entire time we were gone. And then when I told him that his time was up, he decided to watch TV. Finally, at 9:45pm he decides he wants to eat. And he wants ME to make him something. I told him no, that it was too late and he was on his own. So now he's ticked and stomping around and slamming doors (probably because he's hungry, too). Now I'm being accused of just not caring. He may be right! Especially when he throws a fit like this. And to make matters worse, I wouldn't allow him to cook an entire box of pierogies for himself. difficult child 2 was upset that difficult child 1 would eat all of them and he said he wanted some for tomorrow, too. I told him I didn't think it was too healthy for him to devour an entire box in one sitting -- especially with his Crohn's issues -- it sets him up for too much in the pipeline. That did not go over too well with him. Lots of infantile behaviors tonight. Not sure why, but not very pleased about it. [/QUOTE]
