[QUOTE="Pookybear66, post: 206263, member: 5957"] Andy-Yes, things went better on Friday because I didn't "bother him". AND, we had breakfast for dinner. Someone here had written something about their experience, and I was reminded we hadn't done that in a long time. It was yummy for me too! I did suggest to him all the things you said Andy. The lunch thing was not what he wanted. The veggie thing was set for dinner that night so not really an option as we didn't have much in the house that night. I WAS making his favorite noodles but we didn't even get that far to discuss them. The ice cream thing just was not going to work that night which is why I chose an alternate plan. It was already 7:30. My kids usually start bedtime routine @8 which means no more food after that. Plus, he still had homework to do and ended up staying up till 8:30. So, I'm not sure there would of been anything to do differently except for me to not have mentioned the ice cream LOL! thanks for the well wishes. Terry-Thanks for the support also. I actually do the "you can eat something else if you're still hungry" thing as well. He did in fact have a sandwich after the chicken. I ended up splitting my chicken with him because since he was being such a snot I didn't make him any of his own. So, there wasn't quite enough for him. But then I said to him, next time please behave nicely and I can make you the kind you want. (It all started with a question of whether he wanted a breast with italian spices or just garlic). Sometimes its just a lose-lose situation for me. Mostly though I can deal with that-just wish he would stop screaming at me! [/QUOTE]
