Parenting Test of Will

So we are in Tennessee for the week. My boy, 9 years old, has been a real pain in the arse all week-bad behavior, attitude problem, etc. The wife made a shrimp and corn soup for dinner. He refuses to eat it. I told him he couldn’t leave the table until the bowl was empty. No reheating. It is now a test of wills. Anyone else take this experience this with their kids?

After a certain amount of time I'm willing to accept a half-eaten meal.

I do that with my two year old. A nine year old needs an arse whooping.

Perhaps you are going about it the wrong way? He doesn’t have to eat it, but he won’t eat anything else until he does (worked on me with my third girlfriend).

I agree. Wore his arse out multiple times already. This is now a stare down.

Bruh the struggle is real for Latinos. Our moms would force caldo down our throats in the middle of summer.

He doesn't have to eat it tonight, but it'll be waiting in the refrigerator for him at breakfastt tomorrow. He's eventually going to get hungry.

Nah. He is so hardheaded that he’ll go to bed hungry to make the point. Manipulative he is.

You’ve already lost because you’re playing on your phone while he sits there staring at his meal with iron determination not to eat it.

Not four nights in a row.

No doubt. And god help you if ate before you went to your abuela's.

I haven’t lost. I’m comfortable on the couch with him at the table. Enjoying my beer.

Tell him to man up and stop being a little baby.
Eat that shrimp soup

Stay with me here: It's possible for a kid to not like everything put in front of him to eat. And that's ok.

Seriously though, life is short. Why embitter your kid

He’ll eat what’s given to him. The wife made that meal and imo, it is disrespectful to not eat what is provided to you. That’s the way I was raised.
