And if your children just steadfastly refused to eat rice or beans? For hours. Every day? And you didn't have the spare time or energy to work out a cheap and healthy food solution because you have a chronic illness and you're working 12 hours a day to afford a roof?

Not denying your experience at all, but don't deny others' experiences either. I've lived through periods of it as a kid, and seen it as an uncle; there certainly are struggles that can make that kind of lifestyle effectively impossible for hardworking and loving parents to achieve.

They refuse until you make ot clear it's that or be hungry.

And then they eat.

Sorry, not entertaining the argument that not parenting your kids is fine because it's hard to do it.
