[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your other thread plus this one make it seem like you don't understand what is normal for an active tween to eat.
Kids that age can burn and consume a lot of food.[/quote]

The OP isn't complaining about the amount of food he ate -- she's concerned about the weight he gained. It makes no sense to say normal tweens can burn a lot of calories because this particular kid aint' burning enough. He's overweight and the OP is concerned. That's called parenting. [b]Parents should be keeping track of their DC's weight and their eating habits. That's their job[/b][quote].[/quote]

No. A parent's job is to provide a range of choices for their kids, healthy and treat foods, and help them understand how to enjoy eating both in moderation. I have three kids and I have no idea what they weigh, and never have. All are grown now and have healthy relationships with food, and weight/height proportional. All went through thinner and chubbier stages.[/quote]

Well good for you. I'm sure your kids have a whole host of other issues since they were raised by a mother who finds it so easy to belittle and humiliate a poster looking for advice. Disgusting. The OP came here because she was concerned about her DS's weight gain. I don't see how insulting her is going to help her do things differently.[/quote]
