[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look I used to have a lot of rage about this- a lot. Then I figured out that I want the control.  You can’t have it both- either you do it yourself and control it or you pass it to DH and cede control.  In my case, if I cede control, DC would have the iPad all day, chicken nuggets every night, may or may not have childcare, would go to bed at 11 pm... just easier for me to do it bc I need the control.

What you describe is not control my dear. It’s just being a responsible parent and doing right by your kid. Sounds like your husband is a child.[/quote]

He...has a different view about what my child needs.  He doesn’t see anything wrong with chicken nuggets and iPad all day.  I don’t know why this is.  I hate it and wish we were on the same page but we are not.  [/quote]

He has a different view about a child needing nutrition and sleep? lol. No, he doesn't. He's lazy. He has you hoodwinked. He knows a child needs a well-rounded diet and adequate sleep; he just doesn't care.[/quote]

I’m just offering a way out for people stuck in a situation like mine.  Own the fact that you do things better and want control.  It is what it is. [/quote]
