[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s no video games when he gets back as it is - I know he had tons of screen time and it’s too late at night anyway.

You’re micromanaging. Kid isn’t a picky eater yet you focus on the restaurant has to be dad’s pick. You focus on dad eating your packed food, too much video games, failing to take him on walks the kid doesn’t want to do, etc.

I know, I know...you’ll write back that I’m wrong. But...I’m not. [/quote]

Dad cannot do much right, clearly and Mom feels the need to dictate things.  If you want him off video games, send him with his school work.  Both parents are giving the child too much power.  Mom probably doesn't allow video games, which is fine so kid gets laser focused at Dad's and its something they can do together.  At that age that's normal and normal for kids to push off eating.  Dad needs to say dinner is at 7, feed him and that's it.  He needs to shut off the video games.  Mom needs to say if you don't eat at Dad's then you wait for breakfast the next morning.  If Kid knows he will eat when he gets home, why stop video games to eat.  [/quote]
