So tell me exactly what to expect. Do you really have to eat everything on your plate and what horrible things do they do or say to you if you don't? .
no.
they 'will' make a show of you not eating all your veggies by playing airplane with you, though. (with me it was just a 'show', I never had to actually bite the stuff off the fork, BUT on one trip, my Son-I-L didn't eat his carrots, our server loaded up ALL the carrots on a fork, , did the airplane thing, & my SIL actually grabbed all the carrots at once,,,, trying to chew more than a mouthful was pretty funny, the server replied "I never thought he'd actually EAT them!!").
try getting someone else at the table in trouble, make it look like 'they' did the paper airplanes, or fought over the crayons.. IF your server asks you if anyone at your table is causing problems, point someone OUT ,, ( this may backfire , also, as it may look like you are the tattle tale).
my daughter ( 27 yo) was stuck in a corner for "being Bossy" . because she told ME in front of Anas, that "I" should have ordered everything at once, when I asked for something else after the original order
some servers will take a person & add them to another family at another table. stuff like that.
I forgot my camera this trip & Anas kept 'shaming' me for it. you REALLY do want a video camera ready to get those special moments.
*** that said..

I still shove most of the veggies & other stuff off mine & onto my hubbys plate, that are just too much to eat,,, ***
remember, YOU can ask for a server who will just ,, that,, serve you & leave you alone. YOU can also ask for a specific table, if you want a tv bar table, ask! it may take you longer though.
don't think you have to order a full meal, either! we have gone for just milkshakes & desserts once.
