Children's food is restricted at home. All homes. This is totally normal. i don't know any kids who are allowed to eat whatever they want to eat. Not one single kid.

I don't restrict food at home. He makes choices and I make suggestions.

Let me guess...you offer sunflower seeds or chik peas as a snack and he gets to choose the lesser of the 2 evils? That's your definition of "he gets to make a choice"?

Ugh, posts like this are so lame. Debating and winning in your imaginary scenario. Why don't you make it a bit more challenging for yourself, PP?

His Dad screams at him every night at dinner, so at my home he picks a protein and a side. So yes there are broad nutritional ideas, but none of this eat your broccoli or else crap in my home.

Dad screams at him every night at dinner????
That's sad. Food is going to become an issue in your family. I can see it coming. Your post alone screams problem-mania.

It sounds like it is already a parent-created problem.

Are you the same person who posted about her son buying $20 lunch on a field trip? You sound the same. Stop pushing your food issues on your kid. Let him figure it out for a few weeks.

I worked at a kids camp one summer. We had to guard the desserts. The kids were allowed ONE dessert after dinner.

Right? You are like the 5th person who has asked but of course op won't answer the question. God I hate posts like these when the op continues to be a martyr by only posting what she wants.

Your DC will lose the weight somewhat quickly if he has a healthy diet and activity level now that he is home from camp. By the way, much of that is likely bloat. This is why people can quickly lose water weight.

OP, have you ever seen a chicken wing? They are quite small and 10 of them would be a reasonably sized meal for a boy aged 11+. Chances are, he didn't dip into blue cheese dressing because most kids hate it.

Let me guess. You're the type who still believes that "whole grain" toast/cereal and loads of fruit constitute a healthy and filling breakfast.

Are you the one who lost her shit when her kid spent $18 on lunch recently?

Let me guess. You're the type who thinks your food control issues make you a better mom, rather than a neurotic freak.

Why are there so many "let me guess" posters on here? Bitches. My kids often eat chips for breakfast over the summer. We eat pizza once a week, then if there's any left we eat it for breakfast. And on top of that, I'm also the type who thinks whole grain toast -- the real kind, not the kind in quotes -- and fruit constitutes a healthy breakfast. We eat all kinds of food.

What's up with the stupid small minded anti-health posters? I'm a foodie. We eat a wide variety of food in our house, including junk and dessert. But I do know the difference between fun empty calories and good nutrition. Chicken wings are fun food and I would not hesitate to eat them or let my kids eat them if we were having a craving, but they are definitely not a good source of protein and fat. Gimmeabreak.

BTW, healthy food is delicious. Too bad it's too expensive to eat regularly. I feel great when I eat healthy food. Plus I'm an adult so I know eating healthy food is the smart thing to do.....

I'm mostly with you but "often" having chips for breakfast is pretty gross.

#1 - that is really sad if OP did weigh her son

#2 - give him a few days to work all of that junk out of his system
