[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]22:01 here. You need a like-minded circle of friends, OP.

I tend to be on the harsh side. I forced DS to finish his plate as a toddler because he had failure to thrive and was seeing oral-motor therapists - ie, there was an excellent reason to insist on feeding him. But I would NEVER discipline someone else's child.

The simple truth is that you're never going to be comfortable with these people (who may be of the same background and culture?) if their parenting is so different from yours. Seriously, take the time to choose new friends.

OP here. Prior to having children, I was very aggressive and ambitious. My friends from prior to having children have similar personalities. They are perfectionists and want their children to be well behaved and perfect. By doing this, I don't think the parents and children seem very happy.

I am now a SAHM. I used to stress about my children's eating. I pick my battles with my children. They eat lots of fruit and veggies. They also eat ice cream almost every night after dinner. They cannot eat ice cream until they eat a decent amount of dinner. Our house is always kind of messy except for the few hours after the cleaning lady finishes cleaning. We are ok with this. I spend a lot of time reading and trying to enrich my kids. Often that includes messes that we don't always clean up right away.[/quote]
