Okay so I've decided that already I'm giving my kids a complex. Yes, I love them dearly and yes, I tell them they're wonderful, smart and pretty/handsome but....(there always is one isn't there) I'm going to create children with some sort of eating disorder. No, I really don't want this, who does, but what can I do? They sit at the table and talk/play for at least 30 mins. of each meal. I finally set a timer and they scarf their food down in a matter of minutes. Is it really that hard to eat in a timely fashion? Don't think me the tyrant, when I say I set the timer I don't do if for a few minutes. I usually look at the amount of food on their plates/in their bowls and pick an appropriate amount of time, never less than 10 minutes. Still I feel like I'm creating monsters that only eat when timer is out and by the time they eat it it has to be cold!
Nobody told me motherhood was going to be filled with such big hurdles as eating...ummm eating really? They didn't get this from me I can tell you that!
