This topic stirs up yucky memories!
Bino, I agree with you. But parents with kids who get whatever they want will argue this point. Growing up, my Mom made supper and that's what we got. If we didn't like it, then we went to bed hungry unless we learned to cook for ourselves. My sisters and I all learned to cook at a very early age so when Mom made something I didn't like, I would get up and cook myself something.
If I child is really young, then its a little harder, but a child over 10 who bitches and complains about food and gets whatever they want is annoying as hell and in my opinion, is not parented very well.
