[quote=Anonymous]DH is stricter about screentime and junk food than I am. Not by much, but I'm definitely the more permissive parent. Our kids are 3 and 5. I wouldn't want them to be in front of the TV eating popcorn all the time, so I appreciate DH laying down the law from time to time. Mostly, I think I'm more permissive, because I'm more active with them and they want more from me. They are fully capable of playing independently and will do it happily, but when they want an adult to play with, they know I'm the one (not DH) who will run around the house playing cops and robbers, or read them 10 books in a row, or go outside to practice bike riding, or help them with their bubble wands, or set up their painting sets, or whatever the case may be. So when they're in that mood and I can't/don't want to play, I am more likely to turn on Bluey and give them a bag of veggie straws.[/quote]
