[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Who are the crazy people on this thread who are suggesting that 9 year olds should start watching their weight? You people have some issues... [/b]

OP - if I were you, the next time she says something similar, either about you or your daughter, I will let her have it so she doesn't do it again. [/quote]

Look around you at all the obese children and their parents and then think about the crap you are spewing.

I don't agree with the MIL's approach but you are out of your effing mind if you don't see the need to moderate the diet of children so that they don't eat junk and become another statistic in the battle against obesity.

I am the quoted PP. Of course 9 year olds shouldn't be eating junk all the time and they should have healthy food available to them. But they shouldn't be 'watching their weight' because they want to be thin. Being thin/healthy weight should be the by product of their healthy lifestyle, not the goal. Having your grandma telling you you will be fat if you eat dessert when you are 9 is not good for the kid. [/quote]
