Every night... every single night... just as we've got jammies on, teeth brushed, and are heading to bed, the boy starts whining, "Me hungry. Me hungry! Me hungry Mom!"
AHHHH!
I can tell you what Jeff would say about the whole situation. I'm too soft. I need to yell more. I am a pushover. The kid should eat more dinner... or in some cases, any dinner.
He might be right but I have serious unresolved issues with food, especially hunger. Now I know he's not going to starve to death (and yes, I have actually sent him to bed hungry before despite what Jeff might tell you), and I know I need to be tougher on him, but in my mind if I can get his tummy stuffed full, we all sleep better.
Some nights it's applesauce or a banana. But lately it's been cereal. I mean, what better way to go to bed than a bowl full of sugary cereal?
I really am a push over, aren't I?
