As you probably ...Thanks... we'll see how it goes. As you probably know, I'm not even supposed to be looking at his lunch account/activity 'cause it's inappropriate for a step-parent to do things like that.<br /><br />Undoubtedly, we will be the bad guys in this situation, but I don't know what else to do.<br /><br />I make healthy (and hearty) meals here, and always have a dessert for the kids, so it's not like he's missing out on sweet snacks. He just has unhealthy habits and in the long run, it will cost us not only for the lunch money, but for dentist and doctor bills as well.<br /><br />Although you might think of this as "actual" parenting, I see this one pretty much as common sense :o)stepped-on-momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407690221195586275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479333416362417543.post-62553077701822097872009-04-30T10:07:00.000-05:002009-04-30T10:07:00.000-05:00VERY good plan!

I know you guys well enough to know you ALWAYS have healthy food at your house - and that he COULD bring himself a sandwich and some applesauce or yougert (or even one of those cream pies!) and some bottled water. Then he would HAVE lunch on Friday. Problem solved. <br /><br />I agree. There isn't a parent out there that would encourage unhealthy eating like this while he was in their home. So why would it be ok to eat the crap while at school?<br /><br />He'll have no choice but to catch on. Isn't actual parenting fun?
