I can't ground them, cause i am the only parent in the home right now. and i have to take them where ever i take the other 2. I have NEVER and will NEVER hit them (although i am tempted sometimes) and sending them to their room is like sending them to Toys R Us.

I don't understand how vegetables became a punishment, I would assume that because they are never fed veggies they will never understand the nutritional value as probably nether will you. Please introduce them to the value of veggies in their daily meals. I think a greater punishment would be to deprive them of the goodness of a well balanced diet.
The punishment you seek as a controlling factor would better served by depriving them of their over abundance of toys which by your own admission they have too many.
You could give them extra chores to do again assuming they do have normal chores to do
For someone to offer the advise you want, it would be necessary to have a little more incite on your situation.

No! That is way too controlling. Plus, aren't u making them dislike veggies more? Try an old fashion approach..sit them in a corner. Or send them to their room BUT they hv to sit on the bed with no toys/books, etc..
Good luck!

No, because it will make them hate veggies and think of them as punishment, and even later in life they will not like them. Trust me on this one. You have to find other ways to punish them, like taking away favorite toys, ( gameboy, playstation) TV time, cell phone, docking their allowance, whatever works, but do not punish them by either making them eat something or withholding some food item from them. It will come back to them at another time and there will be regrets on either your part or theirs.

deal with them,they are expertise manipulating the parents,but you are an adult with experience,just deal! like you said x ex:if you are sending them to the room take all the entertainment out,tv,toys etc...but do not make physical punishment it cause trauma,hatred,resentment etc...i have three and right now they are teenagers but the system of to take all the privileges away for the day,days or while they are grounded it works!

What's so bad about mixed veggies?
A stern talking to, lack of phone, toys, TV, games...
clean bathroom, wash dishes for a week, no allowance.

How is that a good punishment, making them eat something they obviously don't like? Try talking to them, or taking away from them, something they love and use alot.

Nope.. it will just reinforce their dislike of veggies. How's about a half hour on their knees in the corner? Or the ole time out chair, facing a wall?

making them eat veggies is probably not a good idea. it depends on how old they are. if they're 6 or below, you could give them a time-out and make them stand in the corner.

take the things OUT of their rooms before sending them in
make them do extra chores.
do not punish people with food...it is not a good choice.
