[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so amazing. Good for your DH! He’s staying healthy and modeling how to stay healthy for your children. I don’t see the down side. Enjoy him![/quote]

You don’t see the downside of a father getting competitive with his teenage sons and refusing to let them win?  [/quote]

No. Eventually they will win. But it will be earned.[/quote]

Uh huh.  
You’ve never met a dad who didn’t allow his son to be stronger than him or a mom who didn’t allow her daughter to be prettier than her? 
 
I’m pretty sure I have heard a story about this somewhere…[/quote]

Didn’t allow the son to be stronger? What are you making up? Also it’s completely different than a mom competing with her daughter to be the most beautiful.

Are you going to complain next that the dad makes more money than sons?[/quote]

The OP literally says that it feels like a competition and that it’s affecting her teen boys body image.

Why is it completely different if a man does this to his sons vs a woman doing this to her daughters?  [/quote]

You are fragile flower. Trash talking in arm wrestling is not harmful. Guys have harmless exercise challenges all the time.  These are teens. They will grow stronger than dad. It’s really weird that you think the dad needs to let them win.

Is it okay for the dad to earn more money?

It sounds to me like OP is worried because she’s literally the only family member who doesn’t exercise with her husband.[/quote]
