This was my thought. It's the same old Parent A and Parent B have very different opinions and actions regarding X. It could be screens, video games, bed time, sports, school, etc.

Separate the issue so it's not just one big ball of frustration. 1) The way your husband eats grosses you out and makes you feel unwanted and unappreciated. 2) You want your child to have a healthy diet and good eating habits.

Your only option for change is #2. You're not going to change a grown adult who has been eating like this since before you met (you married him knowing all this, BTW). Sit down and have the come to jesus talk about how important it is to you that your child develop healthy eating habits. That includes a role model who doesn't say "Healthy food sucks!" and then scarfs down fast food and soda. Or swings between a keto diet and binging cake. You can't change your DH's choices but you can ask that he eats the fast food at the restaurant instead of bringing it in the house, and that he doesn't undermine your efforts to get your child healthy eating habits.

At the least, he should respect you enough to take this topic seriously. But you need to respect that he isn't going to change. +1 for making sure he has life insurance before he develops issues that will drive up the premium.[/quote]
