[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's an "almond mom"? Is that like a Karen, but with food?[/quote]

No, it's a mom who has a restrictive diet for herself and restricts her kids' food as well (under the guise of health, but in reality to her disordered relationship with food).  The term comes from the Hadid sisters who said that when they told their mom they were hungry as kids, she would tell them to chew seven almonds very slowly.

Another example is my mom.  We were FaceTiming her after going out for brunch the other day and my two young boys were describing what they ate (one had a burger and fries, one had grilled cheese and fries, both from the kids' menu).  My mom said "wow, sounds like you won't need to eat for the rest of the day! You guys are all set!" Basically suggesting that my 2yo and 5yo should fast for the rest of the day to atone for eating for a somewhat unhealthy meal.  This is very much in line with stuff she said to my sister and me all the time growing up.[/quote]

So you answer, "No mom.  They're good.  They're healthy children who need the food to grow.  They're not dieting middle aged women who need to lose a few pounds."

Well, most would probably think this and not say it...but if only we could say it...[/quote]
