[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...would you be ok if your kids were alway living the way you parent them (eating that way every day, getting that much screen time every day) or do you more want them raised differently and just leave that to your spouse?

I'm genuinely curious. There's the trope that the dad just gives them junk and parks them in front of the tv (though i do know a couple families where the mom has a lower bar)...and maybe they do strongly feel that the kids would be just fine or even better off if things were a lot more relaxed that way.

As I'm typing this i'm realizing its very unlikely this type of parent is on a parenting messaging board[/quote]

yes, i would be ok with my kids always living this way. because life is not only about food and screens. i want my children to use their potential and excel (in their case, academically, because that's where their potential is), and also, to have their own families and children. those are most important things to me in terms of results. i don't care how much TV they watch as adults. there is a lot of good stuff on TV I wish I had time to watch.[/quote]
