Hi,
DSD has dinner at 3 different houses at 3 different times with 3 different diets and I don't know what to!!
She has breakfast, lunch and dinner at the CM 4 days a week and that is with 4 other children. CM says she eats fine most of the time and gives DP and his EXW a monthly meal plan for dinners. Its all basic stuff, pasta, shepards pie, cauliflower cheese, make your own pizza ect.
We have her 2 days in the week (but she doesn't eat here at all then because of CM) and eow when she does eat here. I work saturdays so don't eat with her but we all eat together at the table on a sunday. We are veggies so DSD doesn't have meat when with us (although she very rearly has it CM either). Both dinner times here are a nightmare, she just plays with her food, everything is yucky and all she wants is pudding. We make the same things that the CM makes! We can't cope with it anymore and dinners are getting stressful.
DSD eats with her mum 1 day a week and eow, due to the size of her house they don't have a table so eat on the sofa in front of the tv or at the local super market. DSD will eat with her mum but only really jackets or pasta.
I'm convinced its the broken dinner eating pattern that is making it worse but how could we change this? DP knows he needs to be more patient as well (and I don't get involved)
Anyone else have similar problems? Or any advice?
Ps sorry its long and badly spelt! Many thanks
