[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is like this.  Worse in a way, because she will push food and not eat it.  She only offers huge portions.  So if I agree to eat a brownie - because I am fine with sweets in moderation, she will give me a giant brownie.  I have to stop her, or cut off a piece and return the rest.  It’s a huge problem visiting because my son struggles with moderation and always overeats when visiting.  What I hate is that she knows it’s too large of a portion - she would never eat it.

I think a lot of women are like this.  They like to push food on other people.  I think it’s a weird eating disorder itself.  [/quote]

It’s controlling and what anyone else eats it’s not any other adult’s concern what grown-ups eat. The entire discussion about this and similar topics is just always a disaster.  People who want to eat all kinds of pastries and meat at breakfast buffets are not tackier, less intelligent by dint of that, or otherwise worse than the grilled veggie saints. It’s not supposed to matter. I only care what my kid eats based on what her pediatrician says, and what I eat, and I routinely blank meaning make eye contact and give no response, to comments besides “is it good?” if I’m eating something. I don’t respond to criticisms, to passive-aggressive comments about what others wish they could eat, none of it. It’s easy in a way. The only place where I understand the agony is with protecting kids against effed-up adults. [/quote]
