My kids (8 months, 4 years and 5 years) go to their dad's house for the weekend (he gets them friday mornings - sunday nights and every thursday they have off from school) and he feeds them nothing but junk.When they come back, they come back strung out on sugar.He even feeds the 8 month old soda and fast food! I've told him to balance out the meals because they come back feeling sick and acting crazy everytime.
for instance..they came back crazy sunday night.i asked them what they ate and they said poptarts for breakfast, a donut for a snack, mc donalds happy meal for lunch (they eat it almost everyday over there since it's next door) a candy bar from the liquor store, cookies, mac n cheese for dinner, ice cream for desert and juice/soda for the beverages.It's ridicules! I know they aren't lying because that's exactly what he ate when we were together and one of the reasons why he got so damn fat.
I suggested we keep them on a similar diet and schedule, because it is better for them to be on a schedule than to always be on/off one like they are, going back and forth.im considering bringing this concept up in mediation.
I would also have no problem cooking meals (since hes too lazy) and sending them off with those meals for the weekend.their health worries me.diabetes runs in the fam. and because they are always cranky, catching colds like crazy and hyper.The school has reported several times that my son is acting up.Ironically, it's only on the two days he comes back from his sugar high.The baby worries me the most.
Anyways, just wondering if a decent meal plan can be enforced by the courts? i have no problem with treats.they just dont need it at every meal.
yeah, he grew up with two parents allowing him to have unlimited amount of sweets.when he was with me, i would make yummy but healthy meals and he started losing weight.when we broke up, he turned back to the crap.
