   :thonk: So on the one hand, the father is more enjoyable to the children because he makes it seem like a good thing, and that's exciting. On the other hand the mother would have an attitude against the junk food (as a consequence, not to be desired over better prepared home meals) which may let the children develop an aversion to using fast food as a reward mechanism later on in their own lives.

     @Herbst Something good about earning it, though. That used to be the norm in our fam, where kids had to be active or work hard to merit the calories

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Herbst I watched a mother do this to some good kids. The father wasn't much better (neither of them ever had any time) but the father did try to sell it a little. Showed these kids how to microwave cookies, and they destroyed two boxes right then and there. Couple of days later, one of them tried showing her a book borrowed from the library. Microwave Cooking. Broke my heart.
