[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, worry about your own side of the street here. You picked a spouse who gave your kid obese genetics. Now that spouse and kid are both fat, you choose weekly to buy food that creates an obesogenic environment. It is your job as a parent to teach your child to manage the body she has so as to maintain a healthy weight. Pro tip: juice, cake and ice cream ain't it.

You are completely failing your child, OP.

Genetics loads the gun and environment pulls the trigger.

Change the environment, OP, what food is kept in the house, family activity level, screen time and sleep. The number of fat cells is locked in at 18 and you are dooming your child to an unhealthy life and ongoing weight struggles.

Making your kid's health some sort of core marital dispute is really messed up. At least your DH is concerned about her health. You are so self righteous while 2/3 of your household is fat you keep packing in the sweets. You have serious issues and your family dynamics are very dysfunctional. [/quote]

Perfectly stated, excellent advice. OP you really need to face all this. Yes, family therapy is a good idea, but please understand you have tremendous responsibility in this dynamic along with your overly critical husband.[/quote]
