[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why the poster above had to be so annoying.

OP, my DH is an insulin-dependent diabetic so i have a sense of what you're dealing with.  I wonder if part of this is your DH's underlying anger about his own limitations and the burden of constantly restricting and monitoring food.  Maybe this is a way of rebelling against the diabetes - by refusing to acknowledge it.  I would suggest that, in future conversations, maybe you could focus on how the improved diet will help DD improve in the sport she has chosen.  Accentuate the non-health related positives since he has already shown he isn't very swayed by the health arguments.

Just a thought.  Sorry you're dealing with this.  My DH is also such a control freak, I know what it can be like.[/quote]

I've argued this issue from every possible angle. I was nice and gently said it needed to change for a lot of different reasons. I tried to compromise. I've tried being bitchy and throwing away the things he buys. Every thing I do seems to make him more resolved to feed her crap. This is why I'm so frustrated. I have had enough of the arguing and pleading. It seems to work against me (and her) in the long term.[/quote]
