[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of things to consider

- boredom isn't always a bad thing it can often give kids opportunities to create their own fun and learn how to entertain themselves. With my older child I constantly played with her and interacted with her and as a result she never really learned independent play. Her brother was born during the pandemic and definitely learned the art of independent play.

- My kid is highly energetic and a picky eater but I still made good table manners at restaurants one of my hills to die on. We tend to bring activities to do at meals or we play hangman/tick tack toe. We also have routines about going for a little walks outside the restaurant. Another thing that's worked well in our favor is that we have one of our favorite restaurants that we go to often and my husband and I are friends with the wait staff and they dote in our kids.

- You and your husband need to get on the same page as far as how you're going to approach behavioral issues. If you have to I would consider family therapy. He is your parebtung partner. It's not a healthy dynamic for you guys to be resenting each other and blaming each other.

These are all good points.

OP - I fear the responses you are getting here may turn you off a little further as criticism can be difficult to hear, but if you can take a step back there are some good ideasin this thread.

The bottom line is if your knee jerk reaction to negative comments about your kids is to bash others, you are going to have a tough road.  Even well behaved kids will eventually mess up and it is important to try and have an objective eye about things your kids may do.[/quote]
