OK this is a rant
Feb 25, 2010
OMG I feel like choking my mother. She has never been helpful or supportive and now that she actually sees me losing weight and ENJOYING my new life, she says that I took the "EASY WAY OUT" OK yes I wanted to beat the crap out of her. Its not my fault that she has all her sickness that are related to obesity but refuses to do anything about it.What is now bothering me the most is that my kids are good eaters until she starts offering them things I refer to as treats WHEN THEY ARE ACTUALLY HUNGRY. My kids are ultra polite and find it hard to say no. They woke up late because of NYC's Snowicane, school is closed.
So they just had breakfast at 9:50 am. Tell me why at 10:44 my mother was serving them soda crackers and cream cheese. Not a few crackers, nooooooo, like 10 each with globs of cream cheese on it. I asked my kids if they were hungry, they said no. Then she has the nerve to tell me that I have no right to starve my kids!!! How can you starve a child that 1 just ate 2 says they are not hungry, but want to eat it cause grandma says they have to.
I have been this way with my kids since they each hit 2 years old. I am making sure they don't end up like I was. Even my husband agrees because he was a fat kid. We remember how it was to be picked on for being the fat kid. My kids are not fat but with her pumping them with hourly "Snacks" when she is around, which are the size of most meals, obesity is not too far away.
Ahhhh ok I think I have expelled my demons.
She cries at the drop of a hat and at this point her tears did not affect me. I have the right to worry about my kids. I am tired of her saying they are too skinny when there doctor says that my son should lose about 3 lbs to be considered average and that my daughter is fine because she is short for her age.
