Oooo... and pizza and wings! That's my prize!

My husband and I were having a conversation this morning about this kind of thing. We, (as a society), are raising helpless children! I have one dcg here, she is perfectly capable of doing things herself, but she wont. At clean up time today she burst out crying. When I told her 'everyone helps clean up' she laid down on the floor and started sobbing. Then at lunch she refused to eat what I put in front of her, I served mashed potatoes, ham, mixed veggies and apples. She said 'I don't like this' and when I explained to her that that was lunch and there were no substitutes, the sobbing and whining started. It drives me bananas!
