Today, I brought my ds home from 1st day of camp. He was very tired, hot and cranky. It was all together an unusual day. I was dropping him off and then going back to work. Our nanny was there and had his lunch ready. It was not a usual lunch. It was a lot of things I have never really seen him eat, so he sat down and said he didn't like his lunch.

as a parent of a 3 yo, that would bug me. You can't expect a child, esp an overtired child, to eat any lunch, much less lay a guilt trip over it! When my 3 yo is too tired to eat, I wrap up her lunch and offer it to her again after a nap. [ Reply | More
