wasting food

[Eenee]

Depends on my mood lol but I tell DD eat this little bit first then you can have a big bowl/plate/piece etc. afterwards. Sometimes she tantrums so I say ok then have nothing and she usually comes around, other times I'm not in the mood for a tantrum so I say fine...DS is good at eating her leftovers too at times.

happens in our house too... good thing we have animals to eat the scraps, but yep, does my head in too!

Get her a scoop for the cereal? So she can have one scoop, and do it herself. And if she eats all that, then she can have more/ two scoops the next day. That's how I'd play it. And if she only eats some of her one scoop, then no big deal, it's minimising waste.

My dd does this with drinks, but we just put them in the fridge and she can keep going back to the same one.

Our chooks and our worm farm do particularly well some days!
