possible parenting descrepancy solution
Co-parent (male) reports that LF is often self-centered when he should be thinking of others.
Bad way to deal with this: "You don't really want that" and guilt-tripping by making him feel bad about what he wants.
Possible better way to deal with it:
"That's what you want for you. What do you want for Mommy?" Acknowledges his wants, and that he has a right to want for himself, but also reminds him to think about the other person.
