[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holy hell in a hand basket…so many food control freaks. [/quote]

Right? My kids are allowed to go into the pantry or fridge and eat anything they want at any time. I want to teach them how to eat when hungry, not gorge themselves when food is available because God knows when they'll get another snack. If you don't want them eating certain things don't buy them.

In 30+ years OP's kid is going to be post asking for strategies for visiting Grandma and dealing with "the kitchen is closed". Love insane FTMs and love this thread! BTW, sitting here reading this while sitting at my desk finishing up a snack of a mini diet coke and some left over halloween candy.[/quote]

Yep. OP is 100% going to be the grandma who denies hungry people food because she is so concerned that her DIL is fat or that she will make her grandkids fat. All this control you think you have right now OP, is because you have a small child who is not in preschool/daycare/school. You must be a SAHM (and I am one as well, so this is not a put down of SAHM), but you've clearly not had to cede any control in this department. It is coming. Take a chill pill, maybe talk to a therapist about why you are so hung up on food. it could be helpful. [/quote]
