My daughter is complaining that she doesn't like the chicken that I am preparing for dinner should I give her

Make her eat it or she can go to bed hungry. The family should eat the same dinner, I would hate it if my sister got to eat something 'better' because she "complained" about it, its not fair. Besides who has time to prepare two dinners these days?

From reading this I cant tell if your a good or bad kid. Seeing how you bought something really expensive w/out consulting them. Your little complaint could have some swears in it. You want to go to the movies in the morning but you should tell them that you have friends going too(maybe they'll understand). You are a senior I do think you should have some privileges since Your going to be 18 soon. I mean hell I'm 17 and I never get grounded my grades suck 3.37 GPA. I go home at 8 since I have volleyball and I go to sleep at like 12 PM. I guess life sucks for you. I mean you already approach them, but they grounded you for wanting more privileges. Some parents are just too strict. GG. I would'nt approach this matter unless you want to get grounded.

Not every person likes chicken, would you like me to force you to eat whatever I said all the time, even if you didn't like it? Have her help with meals, give her a bit of a choice.

Let her have a little choice. If she does it with everything, then you know she's just whining. If she genuinly doesn't like it, don't force her to eat it. My husband has a story similar to this. He didn't like something and his mom forced him to eat it. He ended up throwing up all over the table. The same thing happened to my brother (from strawberries!)

do you want to be cooking 2 or 3 or 4 seperate meals until she and any other child in the house is old enough to cook???

With that said give her chicken if she doesn't eat it she can go to bed hungry.

NO! Let them eat what you make, or she will expect a special or seperate dinner every night. If you are cooking it with something she doesnt like then you can make her her own plain one, but my mom always told me that never make a child her own dinner, and I'm going to use that with my kids too.

this is supper take it or leave it. I would not force her to eat it. I would not offer anything else. My son is so picky. Sometimes I find it helps to have him help cook.

If you child is young tell her it is something fun. I told my four year old asparagus was giant spider legs and then she thought it was fun to eat.

I make my girls eat what I cook im not going to make my life harder cause she wants her way

i always had the option to eat something else.. AND THAT CONSISTED OF PEANUT BUTTER AND BREAD THAT I MADE FOR MYSELF.

point is, i think i only was bratty about dinner and ate peanut butter and bread once.
