Adam and I have dug our heals in with Aiden and we insist on him staying at the dinner table until EVERYONE is finished eating. Its a great rule but we just have to put up with him asking like a thousand times "people all done?" And if its towards the end of dinner and he sees you going for seconds he'll even ask you to stop eating "no daddy, don't get anymore, you're all done".
Well, this new rule may be a hard one to stick by, but in the long run, Aiden will be all the better for it. Children need to be taught good table manners and habits. I applaud you both!! I know it isn't easy when Daddy gets more food to eat and Aiden wants down to play!! Hang in there, Daddy!!
