We haven't found a bribe that works. Unless it's Mac n cheese, PBJ, or nuggets, she refuses to eat.
It's gotten annoying. We've told her she needs to eat ONE minuscule bite of anything we serve and we'll cook her whatever she wants. And she still refuses, so she must not be very hungry?
Is she like that at daycare too?
Ds1 is really easy to bribe, we've also pretended to put him to bed if he full out refuses to eat. You don't want to eat, you go to bed. That always works.
She's like that at DC too. She has a rotation of two lunches she'll eat that we send. If we buy hot lunch, she won't eat.
She will also send herself to bed for the night to avoid eating if she doesn't like what we serve.

That's tough. Ds1 will eat just about anything to avoid going to bed. I hope she caves soon!

My mom had the "you will sit at the table until you eat" policy. I used to sit so long I would fall asleep at the table. (Like it was midnight one of the nights because she decided she wasn't going to cave)

We don't fight about it. She can choose to eat or not eat, but we don't make a big deal.
Our pedis advice is parents pick what the kids eat, kids pick how much. I wish we were better at following it. A lot of the time we give up and just make what we know she'll eat.

I'm not looking forward to that stage. 😔
My mom was very "old school" with some things. I'd sit until I ate (or passed out). The next morning I was usually served whatever I had refused the night before. Yucky.
Eventually she stopped when she realized I'd just bit eat until lunchtime at school lol

We do this too but I also need to get better at offering a larger variety. I just ask that he at least eat a few bites of dinner, but I understand that some days he just isn't hungry.
@led, I too am super homesick. Counting the days to Christmas. It's a LONG 24hr trip to Brazil but I can't wait for hugs from my mom and dad!!! It's been way too long!!
