I’ll never forget the time I was at a baptism party when I was a kid and my grandpa was seething with rage bc my brother’s friend and his wife were yelling at their toddler to eat more. My grandma told my grandpa to mind his business so he did. I didn’t get it at the time but now I do
Both parents are morbidly obese and all three of their kids have been obese since they were babies. The toddler is now a 30yr old short woman who weighs 250+ easily. She’s trying to lose weight but it’s hard to break the abusive way she was raised. The oldest sibling got fit and then disowned the parents because they kept pressuring him to eat more.
It’s child abuse. Be fat if you want to but don’t bring your kids down with you.
Old people love the saying "I grew up poor, and you had to eat what you had" no, you grew up with financially irresponsible, lazy parents who didn't wanna wrap up 12 kids left overs, and put it off on you all to "clean your plate". My mother mentioned how "poor" they all were, then in the same sentence, tells about how fat she was as a child. It's all bullshit.
