Weird habits

[Zebeddee]

My daughter recently went on a school camping trip and had a great time. Since she returned home she insists on eating from plastic plates and bowls. To be honest she refuses to eat from anything else! I am indulging this phase but perhaps I should be stricter? (She has to pack a plate to eat in anyone else's house!)

How old is she now and how long was the trip for? I have seen similar things come up but with short experiences like say a weekend trip, the fad tends to pass pretty quick.

Maybe you can try and tell her that she enjoyed the outdoors and using disposable plates and utensils all the time are bad for the environment, creating waste. Hey, it might work....

Yeah, try to talk with her that it's not advisable to use disposable plates and utensils, and she should use it only if she had to. What about doing another camping in your own backyard and using regular utensils to eat?
