[quote=Anonymous]OP - my family is not perfect, and we are definitely not perfect parents. We probably fail on some level everyday.  BUT, we *try* to model good behavior and provide a stable home life for our kids.

For young kids, it is especially important to be a good role model. I know you know that. I don't mean to lecture.  I see two things wrong here:

1. he doesn't value family meal time 
2. he eats chips for dinner *in front of his kid*.  This is not a bigger deal as #1, but if my kids saw their dad eating chips for dinner in front of the tv all the time, they'd be asking and wanting to do the same.  I grew up with the tv on during dinner.  I see the value of not having it on.  We turn it off during dinner time.

Basically, he doesn't seem to think much about modeling good behavior around dinner/meals.  Maybe that's how he grew up, so he thinks it's fine.  Maybe he doesn't care.  That's the obvious issue.  Since you already stated you guys are in therapy, there are obviously other issues.[/quote]
