[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You lost me at obese, OP.  [/quote]

Why? I genuinely want to know.

These children are obese. To the point where the older one doesn't fit in a normal dining room chair. Their mother has said that the pediatrician is extremely concerned with their weight and wants them on special diets and to get exercise beyond extra testing. I think part of not wanting to participate in activities with the other children is because they physically cannot.

Is it just the word? Should I have said extremely overweight? Called them fatties? Chunky? I thought obese was a good way to describe the situation.[/quote]

You commented on their appearance first and foremost.  That is none of your business any more than if the children were skinny and underweight because of their poor diet and high activity level. Their rude behavior does affect you and others around them and is a legitimate criticism.  My thin nephews would rather play video games all day and night, too. It is up to their parents to put limits on that activity and encourage others. You are getting way too involved in another family's affairs.  Concentrate on your nieces and your own family unit.
