[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they all obese?[/quote]

2/3

One is about 400lbs. One is about 280lbs if I had to guess.[/quote]

Good lord! Yes, that is obese. Stop enabling them with all that junk food. Serve a normal meal. 48 cans of soda????????[/quote]

They eat until all the food is gone. It's so weird.[/quote]

Then stop stocking so much food.

Problem. Solved. [/quote]

Thats what DH says. It is the answer. I know. It's hard to change because they are accustomed to it.[/quote]

You're a shitty parent and a shitty aunt if you haven't yet gotten comfortable with not meeting unreasonable expectations from your kids and nieces/nephews.[/quote]

To be honest, it's always been like this with the nieces and nephews so I didn't find it weird.

Lately I'm exhausted when they visit. The recycling bin is overflowing and I feel guilty that I don't want them to visit as much.

BUT they are great people. That's why I feel so bad. I guess I like to be the nice aunt.[/quote]

Take some effing ownership over your life, you doormat/martyr.

Tell them you're not up for hosting, but you hear the new restaurant down the street is great if they want to come by and check it out.

Stop stocking up with end-of-days-bunker levels of food.

Assign them things to bring and contribute.

Stop being such a goddamn doormat. Or choose to be the "nice aunt" and stop complaining. Your life, YOUR house, YOUR choices. [/quote]
