[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, and you told the lunchroom teacher to keep her from buying food?  Your daughter is trying to get food at school because she wants to be able to control her food intake SOMEWHERE.  You won't let her do it at home, so she's doing it at school.  So instead of backing off at home, you extend your vice grip to the school lunchroom.  I don't know whether you're just obtuse or evil; I hope it's the former and you get some help soon.[/quote]

Our daughter is not "trying to get food at school." She's trying to get more dessert and snacks at school. Has it occurred to you that just maybe the people who actually know and love her might have a better idea of what's going on here than some nameless faceless screaming harpy on the net who apparently did have serious food issues growing up and still isn't over them.[/quote]

Why are you posting for advice if anyone with any experience with food issues is immediately disqualified from giving any kind of useful input?  What on earth are you looking for?  Everyone agrees that you are approaching this all wrong.  Please educate yourself on the damaging use of food as punishment/reward.  Your daughter may not have an eating disorder, but she is certainly is at risk for one.

Please find a therapist.  I hope that you can prove everyone here wrong, and that there is nothing wrong with you and your kid, and we've just grossly misunderstood your parenting technique.

And BTW, you realize that there are many, many people telling you to tread carefully, right?  It's not just one person ("harpy") fueling five pages of banter.[/quote]
