Dear Queenie,
I am very careful about what I give my children to eat because I want them to be healthy and have good eating habits, so I only give them healthy food. However, their father gives them all sorts of sweets and junk food.
Queenie, should I keep trying or should I just give up and let them eat junk?—Doing my best
Dear Doing my best,
Aside from the question of whether what their father gives them is good for their health is the fact that he is sabotaging your efforts and making them see you as a mean mother. If their father will not listen to you, perhaps he will listen to your children’s doctor, your paediatrician, about what is good – and what is not good – for your children.
