[quote=Anonymous]Your DH needs to calm down. If your DS wants to eat PB&J every day, go with it. There are certainly worse choices out there, and it likely will be short-lived. More generally, your DH needs to think about why this pushes his buttons so deeply. What is it that is touching a nerve? Sure, I understand it's annoying to make a meal that your kid doesn't eat or appreciate. I've been there way too many times. But to take it a step further and get punitive about it? That sounds extreme to me. Maybe it's triggering an issue from his childhood? Something around feeling chronically unappreciated, maybe? Give the kid PB&J and help your DH work out his control issue so it doesn't become your DS's problem.[/quote]
