She thought letting Hope eat whenever she wanted would spoil her. When she stayed with us, she took snacks from Hope, tried forcing her to eat fish, and even threw out her mini kitchen when Hope resisted. The result? Tears, chaos, and a ruined kitchen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"806\" data-end=\"1070\">Simon and I confronted Eleanor. \u201cYou\u2019ve crossed a line. This isn\u2019t your decision,\u201d I said.
