My son hates meat right now he’s 2 and a half and I will never force my kids to something they dont like and I would never let a man that isn’t his father tell me nothing about my kids or the father of my kids make my kids eat something they dont like.
Never ever force a child to eat anything !
They will grow up resenting you and have bigger issues later on.
I would say if the child will not eat the meat dont make him
But make sure your child is not lacking food . Or the vitiams he is missing from meat. Hopefully he will grow out of it. If not there are many vegetarians.
I think he has a valid reason to not eat it. Being four, you would think that he’s being picky, but this doesn’t sound like that. I would not force him to eat meat. He will resent you for it later if he continues to choose vegetarian.
Let him be if he wants to be a vegetarian let him aslong as hes still healthy and getting the protein he needs. Hes four years old and cares more about the world already than some adults do.
Id say your kids your decision but you allow them to call him dad so why cant he make the decisions as well… i do disagree though if he doesn’t want to eat meat then eat everything else and be done. He’ll either change his mind as he gets older or …not… its apreference just like anything else. No one likes everything.
As long as he eats other protein such as cheese, eggs, he’ll be fine per pediatricians.
Long as it’s dinner,isn’t cakes /sweets,let him have his potatoes, n vegetables, ,nothing wrong with him not wanting it ,when he grows up he might have the desire to eat meats,but for now just let him a just to life,step/ dad /sit in/ leave him alone ,.let him be his self.
They are your kids and only your kids your kids come first don’t be listen to your boyfriend because number one they are not there dad if your kid does want to eat meat don’t make him eat it and tell your offer boy friend he doesn’t have to eat the meat and yes he will be eating something else it is not none of your boy friend bussiness if your son does want to eat meat that he has all the right for what your son wants to eat and if your boyfriend can’t go a lone with your son wants to eat just tell him thats your son and if he doesn’t like it to get the hell out or if the place belongs to him then take your boys and leave with them because if he loved your son he wouldn’t be doing that to him and if you love your son you would nt let him to that to him my heart goes out to your son so please don’t let your boyfriend to do this to your son because you know for your self it’s not right my heart goes out for your son
When’s Christmas?
If he doesn’t wanna eat it, don’t force him. As long as he’s getting the nutrition he needs so be it. 
If he doesn’t what to eat it he shouldn’t have to your dude can bounce
Protien is an import part of a diet in children especially when they are that little. Maybe try disguising the meat with other foods. If nothing else talk to you pediatrician about other healthy protein alternatives.
You’re children come frist. If he doesn’t understand get rid of him.
Turn tail and run as fast as you can. It will only get worse.
My son wasn’t a big meat eater and we just would put half a dozen bites on his plate because it was part of dinner. When he ate that he could have 2nds on sides. Then I had one son who wasn’t a pig fan of potatoes like mashed or scalloped when it was the side we did the same thing he had a small portion and he would eat it. My kids ate things on there plate if they truly hated something that was in a stir fry for example they traded or said who wants my water chestnuts cause that’s what my daughter didn’t like. I always said try it because sometimes they think they dont like something but what it really is the flavoring at the time or the way it was cooked.
just buy the phony meat for him. He needs good protein. To force him to consume an animal he thinks of as a pet like, would be traumatic. He will get over it…maybe. Mine did.
Maybe try to make a shape out of meatloaf. He will outgrow it or he won’t. This is something I would not push!
you don’t need a man telling you how to raise your kids

Meat is horrible for you. Don’t force your baby. That will teach him that a man that’s not even your husband can force him against his will 
What is this…Dear Abbey? Wrong page.

1st mistake is bringing your dirty laundry to Facebook. If you can’t work out something amongst yourselves without bringing in outside resources who don’t contribute to your relationship, then you shouldn’t be in it the 1st place. As for as the child not eating, take it back to old school. The 4 year dosen’t get anything else to eat and no snacks. Food is expensive these days.

He is right. Children shouldn’t be making decisions like this. If ue is supporting your childten he needs to have some say in the matter.
Yeah…grow ursel a nice shiny spine then tell him to fuck off!
Go to dating with kids page not holiday page
Tell him to eat the meat I am with the boyfriend
Keep the child loose the bf if it gets worse it’s your decision
If doesn’t want it don’t make him eat it.
Move back with your mother. You are not a competent adult yet.
My daughter said the same thing at that age…
Never made her eat it , but she does anyways …
I never made a fit about it either…
Like Look your eating a animal.
I just didn’t tell her she was .
Be there for the child, you can get a man anytime
I saw my friend’s daughter become an angry person from feeling her mother always chose her many men, so sad the kid, she’s a mess
Child before bf. Always.
you cannot force a child to eat. Point blank. He can try to force that kid to eat meat all he wants. If your kid doesn’t want to eat it they’re straight up not going to
Follow your instincts
Keep doing what YOU have been doing
Let him eat what he wants
This page is stupid… it must be run by a bunch of teenage unwed girls. A mature woman would 1) know what to tell this “ boyfriend”. 2) wouldn’t put this shit on the internet for advice from strangers
If your kids don’t want to eat meat, don’t force them. My kid doesn’t like veg. He eats plenty of fruit and I blend veg into shepherds pie, lasagne etc. I definitely wouldnt have a bloke with that attitude telling me how to raise mine. He needs to respect how you deal with it.
and if is was me I would have left him instead staying around him and arguing him I would thank more of my son then I would him that is called a dumb ass he wouldn’t want some body to trick him that way I’m sure of that if he loves you he wouldn’t be doing your son that way so please thank about your son and left his ass please that just breaks my heart for your little boy show your son how much you really love him and left this man please
Seriously stop having kids by every dick that pops up #1. An why are they calling him Dad if your not married #2.
NOPE! The boyfriend should STFU and let you and the child’s FATHER, decide how and what YOUR CHILDREN eat! Don’t be dumb!
They are YOURRRR children. He’s new to the pic. Your kids are forever. Asshats r temporary! 💁
Long as hes eating fruits and vegetables kick him to the curb
Tell him to beat it!!!
Can’t imagine how he is with them alone!
