My mom would make tuna noodle casserole if we didn’t do our chores. My sister loved that unholy concoction, so she would refuse to do her chores and the rest of us would have to pick up the slack or suffer! Food was definitely used as punishment in my house as a child!
Ugh I forgot how much I hated tuna noodle casserole, especially when my mom would put canned peas in it. My parents were the same way. I hardly ever got to eat anything that I thought tasted good unless my parents were doing well financially or in a good mood.
We just ate tuna noodle casserole tonight and it’s one of my favorite meals 😭 I’m so sorry it was bad for you. My mom made me eat canned spinach
I think there’s a deficit in some families in having non-food celebrations, at least there was in mine growing up. Food as part of celebrating is awesome, but I’m sometimes at a loss as to other options. And there have to be nonfood wins, too.
For us we try to only have treats on weekends.. so well do some baking or go out for something sweet on the weekends but for the rest of the week well try to have healthier treat options like fruit or frozen yogurt for dessert. .. (no dessert if you dont finish you meal cause your obviously not that hungry++ the fruit and yogurt is avaliable all day for munching whenever just not a dinner time.)
But i really try to make sure everyone enjoys ther dinner. I will make alterations or substitutions if someone doesn’t like something (no just eat it or starve rule here, ill make you something special)
I try to include my daughter in meal planning. She doesnt like veggies v much so I let her pick out different recipes to experiment with and find ways she enjoys eating them.
That sounds like a great approach overall, but the no dessert if you don’t finish your meal rule can be harmful in my opinion. Kids usually love dessert and even as adults we have dessert when we’re already completely full sometimes. It’s not supposed to be eaten because you’re hungry, so we just eat it to enjoy it. And I feel like only giving dessert when the whole plate of dinner is eaten will encourage kids to eat too much just to get dessert and teach them that they always have to finish their plate, no matter how hungry they are. Lots of adults struggle with that clean plate mentality, so I just thought I’d mention it.
Obviously, you should eat something more balanced before getting to dessert, but I don’t think it has to be the whole plate.
@Diana-qp2rw I heard that before. I obviously disagree and I choose these rules because they work best for my family 🙂
And yes I agree dessert shouldn’t be eaten *because* you’re hungry and trying to stop hungry pangs .. but you absolutely shouldn’t continue to eat if you’re full, period.
(Btw I dont give large portions, because you can always go back for more. And i only really push to finish the veggies on the plate because she loves everything else. Its usually “finnsh your veggies before you go back for seconds on your pasta” kinda thing)
But so much of our “food” is so unhealthy for us, packed with sugar, salt, and fat. It’s hard to have a healthy lifestyle when we shouldn’t really consume like 80% of what is inside the grocery stores. 😕
And my mother never learned every time she left me alone in the house I would eat all the cookies… she just couldn’t figure it out.
Hahaha… If I finished all the food my mom put on my plate, I was too full to even think about dessert.
As a diation as well ..We have heard if you don’t empty the plate the sun doesn’t shine..
diaton?
My parents decided to make each of our least favorite foods as punishment… all in one meal. Liver for me, steamed mushrooms for my brother and corn for my sister. They made us sit there and eat it and we couldn’t go to bed until we ate it. I remember I had a little elfin stuffed animal that I puked on and my parents still made me sit at the table for a long time as it made them mad that I “made” myself get sick. I look back now as a loving parent and I wonder how they thought that it was okay to do that. I can’t imagine forcing my child to eat his absolute least favorite foods just to prove some kind of point or exert power over him. They did crap like that all the time. And we were underweight and sickly children. I never thought of that part of my upbringing as abuse until recently.
For our family, my son is on the spectrum with ADHD and underweight. I always put what we are eating on his plate but he doesn’t have to eat it. He gets dessert every night. He eats chicken strips, pizza, burgers or tilapia for protein. He likes rice and avocados and fruit. Now he decided that he likes couscous with ketchup on it so that is a win. Slowly I am noticing him eat a few more fruits and he will even eat corn now. I give him something that he likes at every meal that has protein (scrambled eggs or bacon for breakfast, etc.)
I think it’s all about working with the kiddos where they are at. Our daughter on the other hand eats whatever we are eating, she even tries to eat salad at 1 1/2 😂
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’m glad you can parent now in a loving way and start to understand that it wasn’t okay you were treated that way
Who steams mushrooms?? 😳
@@kayo5291Child abusers. Definitely not right in the head. 😂
Thank the earth goddess, I grew up in an immigrant household where dieting & diet culture was nonexistent. Food was meant to be tasty & nutritious. My mother deemed most American food not fit for human consumption (too processed) & to this day I agree. We ate a lot of home grown vegetables because they are delicious & nutritious. Rich people had desert everyday; we had it on special occasions & Sundays. Food was meant to be enjoyed. I have never dieted & fed my kids the same way & none of us have ever struggled with weight. I absolutely hate eating with most American women because they continually obsess over their food and make snarky comments relating what I’m eating to my weight – usually having to do with my consumption of vegetables. (Yes, I eat protein & things like ice cream too).
What is your family’s ethnicity?
I was always considered the disrespectful, lying, ungrateful, rude child. So I often wouldn’t be taken to go get ice cream, or if I did something wrong at the dinner table I got beat. I’m the youngest of 3 so my head as I got older I started to think I would be loved more if I looked like my sister. So I started starving myself to lose weight to be like her because that ment they would love me more
I rebelled…. And then avoided those who would make it as a reward.
Abbey we need your reaction on Glucose Goddess
From France: eat to eat. Enjoy meals together. Listen to your appetite, don’t eat if you’re not hungry.
Again: eat to eat and enjoy. Don’t eat for any other reason. Families eat together, to be together around food. Make it tasty and enjoy the ” saveurs”. Food is never a punishment nor a reward for something else. Just never.
