[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 545109, member: 11791"] JMO... not having been around divorce first-hand, but seeing some of the impact with some of my friends growing up... SF needs to make the [I]relationship[/I] more important than the [I]rules[/I]. Really pick his battles carefully. How important is it really, what kind of shoes are on his feet? (especially this time of year). Food... well, you can't "make" a kid eat anything, but health depends on healthy food, so if he can find a balance between what his child likes and what is healthy, that would be more important. He does need to be consistent in the way he operates when his son is with him... but find ways to make it positive, rather than negative. Instead of "making" the child go to bed, they could develop a special bed-time routine that is just "theirs". Make bed-time at daddy's house something to look forward to... It's going to take a while to settle into a routine. [/QUOTE]
