How weird and scary.  [/quote]

Exactly what I thought! That sounds very abnormal. I hope this post is made up. [/quote]

All I meant is that I listen in at the feds office, and I expect them to all stay above in height, with a lower number in weight. That is, thin, yes thin. [b]I want my kids to be thin[/b]. It is not a crime. They do not need to snack all day. Even the healthy snacking is a dangerous habit. Allow the body to be little bit hungry every now and then. I am sure that my kids know nothing about real hunger. I bet most kids in the US know nothing about real hunger. Even the chubby kids in WV that we bring lunches to in the summer. [/quote]

Newsflash: they will be what their metabolism leads them to be. And you're not doing them any favour on that regard.

Also, as soon as they'll be out of your clutches, they'll eat like there's no tomorrow because, thanks to your screwed up parenting, they never learned to self regulate.[/quote]

My DHs best friend was denied food by his stepmother as a teen. To this day (nearly 30 years later), he remembers her denying him food based on what she thought he should eat. He was a growing teenager, and he was HUNGRY. So he would just go his friend's homes, where he knew he would get some food. If you are ok with that, keep doing what you are doing. Do not for a moment think your child isn't finding the food he needs to eat (or won't start).

So instead of getting bigger portions of the food you deem acceptable, he will eat whatever he can find. This isn't your war torn country - this is the U.S.,and there is plenty of good food and plenty of bullshit to eat. Teach him to make good choices based on where he lives now, not based on where you grew up.

And yes, DHs friend is the greediest person I have ever met. He is not polite about food at all. It is clear he has some issues around being deprived when his body was starving for food.[/quote]
