Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

Are you a parent? If so, I’d be very surprised you never encountered a situation where your kid was stubborn about something trivial like “no, I’m not going to eat Jimmy John’s, I want pizza!” And if you punished them for it, you’re a bad parent.

I am a parent and have a toddler and a preteen, and yes you let them boss you around. They won’t starve to death and you don’t need to punish them either. Its their choice to participate with the family in meal times. Its not reasonable that everyone gets exactly what they want when they want it and its wrong to give in to those types of attitudes. Kids can compromise, and its finny now the food becomes magically appetizing an hour later when their stomach is growling.

Yes parenting is hard, they are emotional terrorists, but you are implying you have no choice in the matter. I’m not saying you made a bad decision either, just blaming the kid for it is problematic.
