[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is your kid doing? Is she healthy? happy? Developing appropriately? no cavities? interest and curiosity in the world? Kind? Makes friends (outside of a pandemic)? Not destructive?

Then chill out, OP.  These are "first world problems" as they say. You have two concerned parents with very different styles. This is not a reason to break up the family or to lose sleep over.

Mac and cheese is not so bad. Having toys is not terrible. I'd probably push against the candy train, but you've gotta pick your battles.

I have the same issue in my marriage. DCUM is all about 1) divorce 2) couples counseling or 3) husbands who are passive to whatever the mom wants.
None of those are what I want/need. I realized that as a mom I expected to rule the roost at home like my SAHM did. Except it’s 2020, my husband is an equally engaged parent, and we both work. The days of mom being the default parent for all parenting decisions are done. So you have to compromise. I started doing some reading and one thing I keep coming back to is - do you want to be right or do you want to be happy/married? For me it’s the latter so I’ve let a lot of stuff slide. [/quote]
