[quote=Anonymous]OP, we tend to hear what others say when they agree with us and also hear what we want. I say this as a majorly type A person. I have made conscious efforts to not be that way with the kids and will ask DH sometimes if I am being unreasonable with things to make sure I am not over the top.

Chill out. Kids don't need to bathe daily unless they are sweaty and dirty. Veggies are great but not going to kill your kid if not eaten right now (just keep offering). You need to let the resentment go, it is coloring how you view everything he does which is actually a better approach than you have (Smoking, picking battles). 
If you keep this up they will sneak, hide and tell you nothing as they age. You are my mom. So much judgement, so many rules. I could never do anything right without her judgement and her lectures. She loathed how close we were to dad. We could tell. I lied all of the time to her about everything. But my dad? He knew when I tried smoking, bought me a wine cooler to try and picked me up from a really bad party no questions asked. Mom would have flipped so I would never have called her. [/quote]
