[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds reasonable to me. Don’t see a problem.[/quote].

Did you see this part at the end of OP?

"[b]I either have to constantly be yelling at my kids not to eat my parents' food, or dh is constantly upset with the kids and I. [/b]We're around my parents a lot and they eat trash food constantly and want to "treat" the kids with trash food too. It's my fault for my parents sneaking my kids a 2nd ice cream bar or letting them drink juice and root beer."

This is a problem.[/quote]

OP in your recent reply you say your DH isn’t rigid or controlling. I’m not sure how to reconcile that with your original post that you are exhausted from constantly yelling at your kids to keep your DH from constantly getting upset at you and/or the kids for what they eat outside your home. It seems to me that while there are some issues in the relationship with your parents, that your H also expects to exert quite a lot of control over what foods they have or offer in their own home.

For the record, in my family we largely eat homemade meals together with my kids aged late elementary through high school. We value real food from real ingredients. We are not struggling with obesity or related health issues. We also don’t expect to control food for our kids outside our own home though.[/quote]
