[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kids are too old to be managed and controlled like this. It's not your problem any longer. Let them know (and it sounds like you have) that you are a resource when they want help. Leave it at that.[/quote] Are you kidding? He or she who buys the food absolutely manages and controls what the family eats. And it's absolutely the parents' problem when their children are morbidly obese. The "any longer" part of your sentence just emphasizes that they didn't do the job when they should have. It's better late than never![/quote] The son is a freshman in college. The mother is not in charge of his food any longer. As for the girl, controlling a 200 pound child is not going to make her slim. She may need bariatric surgery. If she loses weight, she will probably regain. These suggestions are not realistic. And heaping guilt on this mother? Obesity is too complex an issue for that to be helpful, at all.[/quote]
