If she’s picky about meatloaf, ketchup goes good with it.

Be strong Abby. The war isn’t over yet.

Now make her eat her vegetables too.

Carly sure is feeling sorry for herself. Her parents are so mean not caving into her demands.

Evidently conversations cannot be overheard more than 1.5 feet away LOL cartoon physics!

It’s called tough love, Abbs. Surely your own parents have practiced it on you a couple of times (especially considering who your father is).

You may have won this battle but you haven’t won the war. But this is a good start.

I wasn’t a picky eater when I was Carly’s age. However, I do remember one time when I mixed together some veggies and mashed potatoes on my dinner plate and then didn’t want to eat my “creation”. I had to sit on the staircase, with my dinner plate on my lap, and couldn’t get up till I ate my culinary concoction. I finally gave in and ate it, and then peace returned to the Ostroff dinner table. :)

So it’s over now?
