The things parents do to get their kids to eat
When the monster joins the kids at the dining table – cruel or necessary?
Parents often have to get creative when their kids don't play their part.
Sometimes, kids misbehave; other times, it’s as simple as not eating their food. Getting kids to eat can be tough for many parents, so they turn to some unexpected methods.
A video with over 1.6 million views shows how parents of younger kids get them to eat.
The mother shared that her kids refuse to eat home-cooked meals, so she's found a clever way to motivate them.
Some might call her method extreme, but parenting isn’t easy. Sometimes, tough decisions are needed just to get through the day.
No one said parenting would be simple, but hopefully, your kids will understand your choices one day.
In the video, we see two kids at the dining table. One is eating her food, while the younger child stares at someone sitting across from them.

Some people joked about the parents' method and the kids' reactions to sitting with a "monster".
"20 years down the road, they’re gonna be watching a horror movie and wonder why they feel so hungry all of a sudden."
"I can't! I would've died laughing as soon as my baby said 'the monster'."
"I used to get a whooping for not eating, so I think y'all are doing great, lol."
"Do you guys make house calls? I have some kids that need to be scared."
"Whenever my daughter won’t put her shoes on I roll my eyes back into my head and tell her the scary man’s coming."
