[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people get so angry about moms who don't let theIt kids have junk food? Maybe save your outrage for abusive or neglectful moms?[/quote] Being excessively controlling *is* a form of abuse. (Not saying this is what's happening here; maybe it's just the SIL's one weird thing. But when the kids leave home, they are going to have no idea how to eat normally.)[/quote] I agree. [b]The kids I grew up with who had the crazy, controlling, no sugar, food issue mom did things like sneak junk food and hide it in a tin in the woods, binge on junk food at parties and other people's houses and are obese adults.[/b][/quote] +1000. I also knew of several kids who would secretly gorge themselves on forbidden foods who went on to have eating disorders because of their controlling parents. And now as parents, they are much more relaxed about allowing their own kids to have sugar and snacks within reason.[/quote]
