[quote=Anonymous][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]

Their mother is taking them to the doctor and the doctor has said that they should be on a special diet.  Isn't it up to the mom and your BIL to follow through on that diet?  Is it possible that they are waiting until after vacation to get going on the diet/exercise program?

No. She said she tries but then they won't eat. She doesn't like to see them cry so she gives them what they want. This has been going on before and after vacation.[/quote]
