[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back. Yes I'm the field trip/$18 lunch mom. Maybe I so have control issues but I do love him very much and want the best for him. He's ten weighs 116 lbs about two weeks ago, today he's well over 122.

The 'unlimited ice cream' camp is a great camp and I'm not gonna ban it just because the ice cream. [/quote]

In that case, maybe you should be working with a nutritionist for him, and a therapist for both of you. Your concerns may be legit, depending on his height, but constantly being disappointed and getting upset isn't going to make things better. I don't believe for a second the issues are all about food.

OP, I agree. I understand your concern as a parent for the health of your child -- I really do.  That concern is going to have the best and healthiest impact on your son if channeled in a healthy way.  You need to get some professional help with this issue, either way you look at it. Take food OUT of the relationship between you and your son (and have your husband do it, too). The way you are pushing, pressuring, and expressing anxiety over this, he's headed towards a lifetime of food issues. Let him work with a professional on this. I also recommend some family counseling to re-establish boundaries and safety around the issue.[/quote]
