When I was growing up and my mom made dinner, it was always eat this or nothing.

When I had my son, I was very laxed, letting him whatever he wanted. Now he is 14. When I make dinner, I make more than enough for both of us. If he doesn't like it, he has to make his own. The difference is now the only ingredients in the house are low carb. Either way, he is getting a more nutritiious meal!
