This is our biggest problem of late. I understand dinner time in many households is a complete nightmare, but when it's going on in your own home it really sucks.
Lauren is brutal at meal time. Dinner specifically. She doesn't want to be in her chair. She doesn't want to eat what we're serving, she screams, she cries, she pushes her chair away from the table, etc.
It's bad enough at home, but she also does that in public or at other people's houses. And that's when I really lose my cool.
We are struggling with how to deal with this situation. I would like to take the " Fine. Don't eat, go to bed hungry, but sit there quietly while we enjoy our dinner." approach, unfortunately that doesn't actually work. I don't want to let her leave the table either because that's just giving in to what she wants. Then she gets to go have fun instead of eat. So what can we do? Sadly, I don't know.
