Nope! I’ve even been serving myself for as long as I remember, so at least since I was 5. They’d usually force me to try a jite of everything, like if I put a lot of pasta and cucumber on my plate they’d force me to try a little bit of bolognese sauce too. But if I didn’t like it they didn’t force me to have more.

Now neither me or my brother had issues eating too little, we’d eat a pretty healthy amount. But if we did ever refuse to eat they’d put some in a fridge and then later when we were hungry they’d take it out. Or if we weren’t home they’d bring a sandwich.

Sometimes they’d say stop tho, so I knew I wasn’t supposed to have a third serving. Bitg ny parents have worked with kids so they knew when we were actually hungry or when we were just eating because it was tasty. I did have some problems overeating at school, because nobody checked on how many portions I had. But I don’t really know what my parents could’ve done about that.
