[quote=Anonymous]You are completely undermining your husband’s role as an equal parent. You don’t get to decide this for the whole family. I would talk about what a compromise looks like. If you don’t, then don’t be upset when your husband decides not to participate equally with you in the parenting load.

As someone with a 15 year old with profound ID, I should have relaxed on screen time when my child was younger. I should have made life easier when we went out to dinner, etc. My husband should have been willing to do meds earlier. Neither of us was “perfect” in our decision making.

It sound like your husband is an extrovert who wants more time with groups of people and that includes dining out. There are ways you can accommodate this. Host a game night at your house and order pizza. Meet up with a family at a park and bring sandwiches. Give both your kids a screen to get through a nicer dinner every other month. Six times a year isn’t going to be that horrible for either of them. Practice without screens at fast casual places, etc. You seem to have some black and white thinking on this subject. You and your husband both need to lean into the shades of gray.[/quote]
