Will I cause an eating disorder?

Food, screen time, and spanking all before lunch. Please OP, give us your opinions on sleep training and redshirting next.

Wow! Remember we weren't the ones who asked for help and yet OUR kids are the disrespectful unruly thug children?

OH honey my kids are grown and they are not thugs but, respectful citizens.

Life is not going to treat you kind but, thanks for the laugh

Sure. They’re probably confused little liberals who don’t know they’re gender lol

OP doesn’t restrict their food.

OP here. It’s called doing multiple things at one time.

So you’re NOT giving your kids your full undivided attention? Tsk tsk. Most of us are better than that. Perhaps an area you can work on?

Weird that OP has such a strict "no screens" rule but seems addicted to her screen furiously replying to every post. What kind of example are you setting? Have your kids even seen your face today?

OP here. We sleep trained both kids and it worked perfectly! They were already amazing sleepers though.

I would never spank my young children. Only a disrespectful teenage who thinks he can try to wrestle me.

You can't wrestle your teen you were going to make your husband do it for you.

OP here. Yes because my sons will be taught that you don’t hit women and that you never disrespect your elders.

Pathetic you aren't with them. How sad you care more about screens than your own children's happiness.

But you're addicted to your screen. Any by some magic you think your kids won't be? Practice what you preach.

I stopped severely limiting my young children's sweets when we went to a wedding with a dessert bar. My 5 yo ate so much dessert she vomited. It was embarrassing. She was always so fixated on the food at parties. We lightened up, and currently my kids get a treat (cookie or chips) with lunch and something like a scoop of ice cream after dinner. Limiting junk is impossible after they start elementary school anyway, because they end up "forgetting" their apple slices and taking from the class snack bin every day.

^adding that my kids have no self regulation issues with sweets or junk any more. Yesterday the chips came home, and the first time my kids had pop tarts they declared them "too sweet"

Come back OP! I’m stuck in a boring meeting and need some words of parenting wisdom…

I only read through the first few pages, but one thing I think is common is that daughters rebel from their mothers' way of doing things. The OP's mother had unlimited screen time and excess unhealthy food, so the OP is going in the other direction. Perhaps her children will follow in her footsteps, or perhaps they will continue her tradition and do things differently than in their family of birth. But I think it is pretty common overall for things like this to swing back and forth in each generation as everyone reacts against the way they were parented.
