I understand it appears that I am unduly critical of my W. I guess I am, but it is not without validity. How do I reconcile things in my mind that I believe are not just annoying or different to how I would do them, but fundamentally wrong for our children?

Our children used to walk everywhere, had few sweets, little-no fizzy drinks etc. My wife now has really gone overboard on reversing those things - they get taxis or cars everywhere, little-no exercise with her, conveyor belt of biscuits/sweets/fizzy drinks. Their manners are also becoming worse (no please or thank you).

Things like leaving socks around or not washing all the dishes etc I could live with, but how do I reconcile those fundamental issues?

I did think writing that last post out I might get some criticism from people. I guess this is similar to the story in DR about the women who critcised the H for not spending time with their kids, and when he did she criticised him for not doing it her way. I really do understand that. I don't want to be the know it all, I want to be happy. Just this last week there was a UK study that showed how a third of children under 5 years of age already had developed cavities in their teeth. Having my children's teeth fall out won't make me right or happy.
