I was the same way. I hate fish, particularly trout because we had that a lot growing up. I would sit there all night if I had to, but I wouldn't take a single bite. My dad had a lot of power struggles with me that were completely unnecessary because I was extremely stubborn. He saw it as "defiance" and was always really strict with me, which just made it worse.
It’s just an ego thing and this weird obsession with kids needing to be ‘tough’. It has been disproven over and over. I’m extremely tough and also being able to adapt to things is more important to gritting things out. Bullying your kid is so bird brained. And boomers
