[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an obese kid in our extended family. The mom totally indulges this child and lets her eat whatever she wants whenever she wants. Constantly responding to requests for snacks even if it’s right before or after a meal. This kid was ordering off the adult menu and eating full size portions at restaurants at age 6 when my 10 and 12 year olds were ordering from the kids menu. The snacks are not unhealthy stuff either, but I think it’s volume and constant snacking. 3-4 cheese sticks as a snack instead of one. Two PBJs instead of one. This child is now 8 and wears the same size as my 13 year old son. If anyone hints or makes a comment about it (thank you, Grandma - “maybe just one cheese stick for now, dear”) the mom gets super offended and refuses to validate or acknowledge the concern.

Well, aren't you judgy.[/quote]

But supposedly there's no body shaming in this thread! None at all![/quote]

The number of people trying to justify their prejudice and hate is so disappointing and sad.[/quote]
