[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Problem isn't DH. Well, it is, but you can't control that.

Tell dd that if she's being teased it's time for her to stop eating the shit her dad gives her. If she does, she'll continue to be a fatty and deal with this for the rest of her life.

Educate the kids. My children are offered soda at other people's houses but know enough to not accept it.[/quote]

Calling her daughter a "fatty" and not to eat the junk food is sure to backfire. Girls have enough trouble with body image in this country.

OP Can you enroll your girls in a sport or another physical activity to try and offset the effects of the excess calorie that they are consuming? Maybe schedule the activity so Dad has to take them to it?

Oh, bullshit. OP doesn't need to "offset" the calories of the junk food they are ingesting. She needs to teach them not to ingest it in the first place. The older DD is already experiencing the consequences of doing so. I say leverage that. She *is* a fatty, and as hard as that it is to hear, it's reality. Better to hear it now than pretend it's not a problem. Then maybe it won't continue to be a problem.[/quote]
