That sounds like something I say to my boyfriend! And he is 26 years old. Obviously, his mother didn't tell him to take smaller bites when he was growing up! I think he was off saying that to you anyway. What you said sounded like something any normal loving mother would say to any two year old child. It sounds like you have no problem with anxiety there. Maybe in other areas, but telling your child to take smaller bites is not a big deal. I think what you need to do is ask your dad to be more supportive rather than accusative of you. It sounds like he is just coming at you and accusing, rather than supporting. Just, be sure that you let him know that it may be frustrating for him, as this is his granddaughter. But she is your daughter. Tell him that it takes a village! Good luck! Karen
