[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My younger brother is in college and I’ve noticed that he’s put on quite a bit of weight. I wouldn’t care except that I’m worried about his health. He’s eating more junk food than usual, isn’t exercising, and has been super anxious. I think it’s partly Covid related with the loss of routine and uncertainty. There’s a history of cardiac problems in our family, which is partly why I’m worried. Do you think I should bring up the weight issue with him? Ask my parents to? As a woman, if someone commented that I’ve gained a lot of weight, it would really upset me — so I don’t want to upset him. But I’m worried ...

Another point- my parents have always been weird about body and food issues, and so my brother and I have inherited that to a certain extent. Which is to say: my brother is more sensitive than the average person about body stuff. [/quote]

WTH OP. You sound like a shitty mom, but then you wrote you were his sister. Unless your brother is going to be on my 600lb life in a matter of months, keep your mouth shut.

And in the future, don’t come to dcum to ask for help. Just put yourself in the other persons shoes and think how you’d react.

Your lack of compassion for your own brother is disturbing [/quote]
