[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Look, my two year old eats a big variety of very healthy food.  They love nothing more than to sit and read book together.  So it’s not like I think the 12yonin question is totally typical and fine.  I agree that there are other and arguably better ways to raise kids.

OP’s child-rearing opinions are not invalid because she’s wrong.  Her opinions are invalid because IT’S NOT HER KID!

Furthermore, it’s quite clear that she doesn’t much like kids in general or this kid in particular.  She keeps saying that “If he were an adult I wouldn’t cater to him.”  News flash: adults are different from kids.  If he were an adult and he came to stay with you and you served kugel exclusively and he hated it, he could leave!  Kids get more catering because they are trapped in their situation.  He isn’t choosing to visit and he isn’t able to choose to leave, so if you are a bitch to him the whole time then he will have no healthy options for responding (such as leaving) and will likely resort to unhealthy responses (such as pouting, whining or generally being miserable).  Are his mealtime manners ideal?  No.  But it is clearly time to be the bigger person when the other party to your feud is a literal child.

But my guess is that OP would be fine with him being miserable for two weeks since he will then choose to never come back, which is her ultimate goal.  She just wants her husband and doesn’t want to deal with his kid and grandkid.

Please know that undermining your husband’s relationship with his grandson is a jerk move.  [/quote]

Please tell us you did [b]not[/b] just come on this thread and compare your still in diaper's behavior, food preferences and "reading" habits to that of a 12 year old, then proclaim your parenting methods superior?
