[quote=Anonymous]If your DH has these values about working hard and not throwing money away, why on earth does he beat his head against the wall and persist?  Do you have other kids?  Is your DH the type who will put pressure on your DS to uphold all of DHs lofty ideals?  Hopefully this will be a lesson to your DH.  Fingers crossed that the experiment works.  Especially if your son is eating so much variety in other meals, maybe he needs the constancy of one predictable meal.  Kids like routine.  It makes them feel safe.  You might also tell DH that hotdogs and processed meats are probably the most unhealthy foods you can eat--all this research in the last year or two came out on this.  If you want to teach some good ideals is not to grow up relying on life-shortening processed meat products.  I do on rare occasion pack it in my DS's lunch but I feel guilty when I do.  And I don't judge anyone who does.  Some kids will only eat hotdogs.  But I judge making the comparison btwn hotdogs and PBJ and insisting that hotdogs are healthier.  Peanut butter is way healthier.  [/quote]
