So a dad wanting to feed his kid healthy foods is considered unfit ? What the fuck...

That's...amusing. I could swear I've read about ~~parents~~ fathers being considered unfit due to taking their kid to McDonald's...

Schiller told a judge the argument "raises concerns about the viability" of the father's weekend visits with his son and asked a judge to eliminate or limit them, his lawsuit says.

So let me get this straight. If you don't give in when a kid throws a tantrum, you're not entitled to be a parent?

Is that really the logic of an educated person? It's hard not to think she has other motives for this argument considering the mother has her on speed-dial.

The mother calling the court appointed shrink to tattle isn't the action of a caring parent. It's the cowardly action of a competitor in a fucking game trying to scrape together every advantage to win. Worst of all, that kid is one step closer to growing up to be an entitled asshole.

...Why is this a problem? This is exactly what you're supposed to do in that kind of situation.

I know you can't judge a book by its cover, but that psychologist looks creepy as hell.

The fact that society treats his parenting as anything else than excellent is shocking. If you don't want your kid to eat plastic burgers, then you obviously give him the choice of real Food or no Food. He did the excactly right thing, and parents should take notes. I was never taken to McDonalds or burger king during my childhood, and sometimes I disliked my parents for it. But i am truly thankful to be raised to not be addicted to "the american lifestyle".

This is why I think there's nothing immoral with a father disappearing when a child support case or a divorce is brought against him. It's obvious that he will never get to see his kids, or he will get to see them and they'll be turned against him. There is nothing to gain from serving a fatherly role anymore. Don't do it.

While the father is not 'wholly' incapable, his option of "something else or nothing", and then following through on the "nothing" is just bad form, especially for a dad.

If you don't agree with McDonald's, take the kid to a better restaurant, but him something decent, and put it in front of the kid. If he doesn't eat it, send it home with him in a doggie bag.

Seriously, how did he expect the mother to react having her kid returned hungry?

EDIT: wow, it's amazing the number is people who don't understand that 4yo kids can't make rational decisions. It's up to the parent to make the rational decisions and enforce them. Letting amid go hungry is Not a rational decision.
