[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would stop buying snacks. That's the easiest method for you right now. No chips, no ice cream, no candy, whatever it is you don't want him to eat, stop buying it. Also, have him help cook dinner for the family. 1) he'll have a say in what the meal is and be invested and 2) he'll understand how much goes into preparing food for the family and appreciate you more [/quote] This. This is how as a different PP noted, you ACTUALLY help get him ready for college in 4 years. It's not to throw your hands up in defeat. It's to teach him the work it takes to prepare a meal, and to shoulder some responsibility (like "I have to get your sister from practice. you are in charge of boiling the water and cooking pasta tonight") for feeding the gamily[/quote]
