[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is like this.  She was like this when we were kids.  I grew up in an affluent neighborhood, my parents had plenty of money, but I was always hungry.  I can remember going to people's houses and finding out that they had things like left overs and family style meals where you could choose how much you ate, and being amazed.  In my family, my mother would buy exactly what she thought we should eat for the week.  So, if we were having chicken on Tuesday she'd buy 5 chicken drumsticks, one for each family member, and 5 small rolls, and measure out exactly 5 1/2 cups of frozen vegetables.  She'd boast about how her kids always cleaned their plates, but that was because we were hungry!!

I have noticed while there are lots of kids that are naturally skinny, there are some kids who i assume are naturally skinny but it is because their parents restrict their food.  I have seen them sneaking food from friends at the pool.  Some women do not get that kids need to eat more as they grow up.  [/quote]

No, some moms know that their kids don’t need to eat unhealthy fatty foods and snacks every 5 minutes after a healthy and nutritious meal.  [/quote]

Good God lady, you are truly off the rails.

Instead of showing an ounce of compassion or empathy for what this pp might have experienced growing up with a mother with food/control issues, you automatically go on the defensive (once again) and absolutely REFUSE to consider any other perspective other than your extreme need for control.

I truly hope you don't have children, because having an extremly controlling & domineering parent is so damaging, it will cause extreme resentment in your children. I bet you've never even considered how damaging this dynamic is to a child, because your need for control trumps everyone else's feelings.

I can't imagine what it's like to grow up in home where you're either too scared or not comfortable enough to go into the kitchen on your own. 
No doubt they are always on the lookout & have to sneak snacks when you're not looking and hide the evidence of it in their rooms... sounds like a real pleasant environment.

I don't know why I'm even bothering, because getting through to you is like speaking to a stubborn, closed minded & selfish brick wall and I have nothing but compassion & empathy towards anyone who is forced to be a victim of your self serving & extreme control issues. [/quote]
