[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually wished my parents had done more and talked about what I should do to lose weight. It wasn't obvious to me as a middle schooler. I hated team sports, but there was so much I learned to enjoy as an adult that I wished my parents had encouraged: hiking, biking, rollerblading, taking a walk after dinner and working out in the gym.

To cut down on his snacking- just replace it. We have a cut up crudite tray that's child level in our fridge and our kids devour it. Carrots, celery, olives, cut up peppers (that's the favorite), plus on the counter there's always apples, oranges and bananas. Any of those are always allowed. Going into the pantry and raiding it isn't allowed. [/quote]
But, would talking really have helped? Or would you have resented it? Now, you wish it, but then... well you don't know how you would have reacted. 
Parents need to take action, mostly on their part, you as a kid, nor OP's kid were/are not buying your own groceries. OP clearly said her DH is doing it. He is being a jerk to OP, and he is causing health problems to his son!
What a great effing dad!
I would read him a riot act if he was my DH.[/quote]
