[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more I read, the more I am coming down on the side of “typical tween behavior” meets “wrong-sized and inexperienced expectations.”[/quote]

Op here. It is disappointing. I want to like them more and it makes me sad that they are so hard to enjoy. But I recognize this is my problem, not theirs.

When I was 9-12, my family was very active, we went to museums, we went for bike rides, we went swimming, etc....so now kids just kinda like, sit at home on iPads while eating?

My nieces came from another state entirely and there are things to do in my state that are way different from their home state. I thought it would be cool to expose them to different things, which I guess I did.[/quote]

Well, you're obese by your own admission so how did that work out for you?

I think you're pushing your own classist garbage on these kids and they may be feeding off of that.

Also, don't worry, your sons will be complete terrors by the time they are tweens. It's guaranteed. [/quote]

Op here. I know this is going to blow your mind but there are obese people who enjoy doing physical activities. My interest in getting the girls out to do activities has nothing to do with their bodies or changing them-I just want to do things because they are fun and interesting things to do and these activities don’t exist in their home state.
