Why do I even bother feeding this child?!

[cfred]

I have a 20 month old who won't eat most of the time. If it's a treat, no sweat....he's all over that. But almost everything else, forget it! I used to stress over it and sit with him at each meal and coax in spoonfuls of food. I'm done. I give him his food (small portions). If he eats, awesome, if not, it's no skin off my teeth. I'm just not going to stress over it any more. I will not (WILL NOT) let him out of his chair until the rest of the children are finished though. He can sit there and look at the food he's not eating. It's lunch time, not play time.

I feel your pain....it's a bit of a stress
