[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think a lot of mothers here have no concept of how hungry teenage boys can get. [/b]Please talk to the men you know to get an idea of how much food they really need. They are not children anymore. Expect that they will require more than 3 meals a day. There should be no limitations unless you know there is an existing medical issue that must be treated with diet. Provide healthy foods including a daily sweet such as cookies, ice cream, muffins, etc. Expect that he will buy himself treats regularly, just like we did when we were teenagers.[/quote]

Trust me, it’s far worse for teenage girls, who also get hungry when they’re growing, but get major side-eyes from parents when they get a little plump in the “wrong” places. This is how eating disorders begin. It’s how mine did.[/quote]

I am really sick of grown adults blaming their parents for their problems. Parents are blamed if they don't say anything and their kids become overweight and obese. Parents are blamed if they say something and their kids get eating disorders. Kids really need to take responsibility for their own actions[/quote]
