NO.

Eat the meatloaf or leave it, but you get NOTHING else!

The ungrateful brat…starve if you must.

Carly’s a player!

Send her to the bedroom again…..

How about a meat loaf pizza? :^)

OH H#LL NO!

Nope, eat or go to bed hungry. I’d refuse to let pizza in the house until she develops an appreciation for other foods. There are so many wonderful things to try. How about tacos, or enchiladas? Lasagna, spaghetti, pork chops, trout almondine, fried chicken, lemon pepper chicken, etc., etc. So many wonderful recipes out there to try. Why limit yourself to one kind of food? My parents never allowed this kind of foolishness and my sister and I both grew up to enjoy a wide variety of foods. I’ll try anything at least once, even squid. (But not bugs. Sorry, squishy bugs not on my plate.)

And that’s where mom caves, of course.

Can someone please wake me when this story arc finally ends? Thank you

If I did that, I would have to take a bigger bite than that.

Meatloaf and vegetable pizza? Seriously, she needs some severe boundary setting with lots of really good consequences
