Mothers complaining about fathers

Hehe, like my father and mother, i still remember when i was a small girl, my mother never bought me some biscuits, but i really wanted to eat, so my father gave me money to buy some. Then my mother found it, she argued with my father. My mother bought some fruits to me all the time, so i like fruits very much, and i don´t have biscuits at all, i think that´s why my skin is very great and i am five-year younger than my real age.

Hi johnpillai, this is what i am facing the problem now, my husband will buy whatever my son asks, like chips/kurkure/junk food etc., You know as mothers how much care we take regarding taste and hygienic etc., still they feel to eat outside which makes me annoy. Have a great weekend. God bless you and your family.

I as a mother, often complain about how reprimand the child. Food problem, I never complained. Because the father of my child, rarely buys food for children.

Oh,this is always the problem with fathers. When kiddo starts being sick with meal/usual foods that mothers prepared...father's agreed for kids to have some junks. I know (being a mother) it's not healthy or good for the kids,but what to do,sometimes kids really get sick of all the usual table foods that mother prepared. As long as it won't replace the whole meal for the day...i'll let my kids have some junks and still have their meal afterwards. Have a great day

It is the fathers' privilege to be lenient with their kids and that happened in my life too. Whenever we were upto mischief my father would call my mother and ask her to handle us. When he returned from work he always bought our favourite goodies. May be for that period we loved our father more but as we grew we realised the role mother played in shaping us and so she was loved no less.

Such was never a problem for my parents. I remembered when I was a child, no one ever bought me any junk food, simply because there is not enough money around in the family for that. Every penny made had to be put into daily necessities. I wonder why you have the idea that the father would buy junk food for their children but not their mother. I have seen plenty of mothers and their children in supermarket grabing packs and packs of junk food from the shelf and having a good time about doing so. I suppose some junk food once a while is not a big problem if it brings in a good moment for the family. I mean if not like the end of the world to have some chips, right?

Hi john pillai: This was my case too. I remember that my father was the opne who usually buy us ice creams or invites to have a dinner in a fast food restaurant. My mother didn't like this but she doesn't arguee with her in front of us. I think they have an agreement so my father invite us (and we feel really happy when he did that) but only a few times per month and my mother was the one who make the decisions for the rest of the month. ALVARO

my parents ran a grocery store..let me see ..we had good meals.oatmeal, rice, eggs sometimes..but yet junkfood to but not like today..we had limits..however one giving more than the other I must say I loved them both the same..no differance..alot more junk out there today and alot more being advertized and choose from..all in matter of choice of who did what ..be fat..be skinny , then yet none good for you in the long run..just like too much meat..to much eatting out..as far as compareing parent to parent I think they should not compare..maybe some do when they are little but as they mature I think they love one as much as the other..of course prices of food one cannot eat balance meals as they should now days..

It is very important to be balanced and make sure the children to do not too much junk food. I was a single parent so I had full control of what the kids eat. I was always making sure the meals were balanced. I must admit once in while I would let them have a little something but I limited them both very well. I do not like the kids to each too much sugar and junk food because it makes them way too hyper.

I am so happy that I share the same principles with my husband in relation to what kind of foods we give to our kid. We try to minimize buying junk foods for our family and if we do, we make sure we don't let our kid see them. They are safely hidden in our cupboard. We prefer to give him fruits instead. Although sometimes, we let him have a taste as a treat. But we don't let him get used to it.
