Vicky's gonna be working late today so it's just me & Niki for dinner just now. Went to my fave haunt Betty's Kitchen in KK, I absolutely am crazy for their Nyonya Laksa, yum! Ordered spaghetti-o for Niki since the kid at the next table was having that and it looked quite decent, I'm not quite sure whether Niki is the pie eating type, coz they have Shepherd's pie on the kid menu too. Mommy & daughter shared Coke.
We were happily gobbling down our food when the mommy from the next table (the one whom ordered the spaghetti for her daughter too) started screaming at her kid in mandarin, telling her why can't she just finish her food, she's getting so thin etc..etc.. and ironically a few days earlier I was reading this in a parenting mag, a kid will eat as much as she can there's no point forcing food down her throat coz he tummy is not as large as ours, simple logic and yet parents nowadays are obssessed with their kid having to eat all the time. According to the mag, 2 main meals plus 2 snacks is quite enough for the tyke. And well you should always make eating meals a fun and positive experience for the child. Well, read and learn, eh?
