Hubby was a super skinny baby who grew to 6’3″ as an adult, so he tells me not to worry about my kid not eating enough. Easier said than done, though.

Wife is probably around 5ft. Genetically, mom height has a greater influence on child height.
Its eating time now. If you dont eat something dont come in half an hour. Next meal is at least 5h away. End of story
My wife was asking me how much food to make our daughter and I had to explain the Clara Food Paradox.
*If you make her a lot (read: normal) amount of food she will eat 3 bites and be done. However if you predict this generally predictable outcome and make less food so it isn’t wasted, she will be famished and very angry that you’re starving her*
The reality that some parents know – is if we don’t get some calories into the child somehow now, they will transform into a hangry goblin we may be forced to retroactively abort for everyone’s safety.
Sort of like the feeding-gremlins-after-midnight thing except the other way round.
We are legit concerned for the child’s life in this situation; knowing within us is the potential (and possibly responsibility) for their demise at any moment. How will I know when they’ve crossed the line and become a monster I am honor-bound to stop? Better we feed them and not find out.
So MANY moments make up a life.
People being irrational used to make me a lot more angry. Having had children, I have come to appreciate that it’s a gift that people are ever rational at all.
That only happens if a parent TEACHES them to be rational and, well, y’know, doesn’t kill them. Model the behavior you’re looking for. Put down the stick and pick up a snack. Don’t strangle the child, embrace them.
At the end of the day we are monkeys and our children will ape everything we do – including our responses to them, one day, to their own children.
There is a Mantra that I follow.
“a man can never tame a woman; he should leave that to their children.”
I always assume my child knows what their own body feels like more than I do. It’s hard to see your kid not eat but sometimes they’re just not hungry. 🙂
Enjoy it while it lasts, my brother and I nearly ate my parents out of house and home after we hit puberty.
How olds your kid?
I can’t ever tell in the comics looks like a young toddler but I’m guessing 3 for the language skills?
Same my son will only eat once or twice a day he wont eat at school so he waits until he gets home
