must vent (unsalted butter again)

Ah, so you say your husband is out of a job at the moment. Sounds like that might be what is making him miserable (and feeling out of control) so he might be projecting it onto you. The spouse is always an easy target. I hope for everyone's sake, he finds a job soon.
It's really good of you to control yourself so well in front of your son. I wish I could.

Oh, and cheese for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack - it's all good! I'm still gobsmacked that your hubbie grew up in Canada though. Cheese and toast poison? Ahahaha! That's a good one. Nice bubble that he has created for his son.
 
Probably you can check on the public library.... There should be some books about children food and nutrition in chinese (there should be some with recipe in both chinese and english). Then you can show that to your husband, and let him know that chinese children also eat cheese or butter, etc...
 
is it just me or do i think that you just let slip a major piece of information right there? your husband is out of a job...i can't believe you didn't tell us this before (or did you and i missed it? <- my mistake in that case).

in any case, that explains pretty much all his behavior. so forget counseling, moving the mom, or whatever else you can think of: get him a d*** job! that will solve at least 75% of your issues
 
hahah thanks matemate, he's trying! I can't help him with it there, it is vital and sorry I didnt' mention it before, you know, too much personal information and all. If he knew I wrote all that, he might be angry, but not as angry as if he found out i announced to the world he didn't have a job... hope you know what i mean.

anyways gataloca, good idea, chinese books will probably placate him, too bad I need to get some help reading them (I can't read chinese and my baby books are all in english). I will get some friends to help out.

shenzhennifer, you're right, it's getting so he's less and less canadian now and more and more ming dynasty or something.
 
Hi Solidstars. I went today to my antenatal appointment, and at the clinic, I checked on some of the baby magazines. I noticed that on the June and July issues of Baby Mo magazine(Baby-Mo.HK) they have some baby recipes which contain butter or cheese. As this is a chinese magazine, you may show that to your husband.
 
If I were in your situation I think I would be showing him more than a magazine.... I'd be showing him the door! I would suggest that maybe since he is currently not working you could book an appointment with the paediatritian (local one if it would put his mind at ease more!) and have him/her explain the benefits of dairy products to growing children.
