Mary my kids are 26,31,33.My opinion is alot different.Kids need their parents to be parents and not friends.Unless he has a job you are purchasing the food for the family.It is your job to make healthy choices for your son.If he wants to use his own money to buy ice cream let him. He only has so much money how much damage can he do?But stick to your guns.We are talking the health of your child.Heart disease,diabetes,and high blood pressure.No kid wants to be the fat kid.There are replacements for everything.I will help you.But as parents we have to walk our talk.Set an example and be strong.
I agree Umpa...parenting is hard work but kids need guidance not friends! We are the best role models that our children have. Good luck with Joe!
