Ok sorry I'm a teen , but i have been reading the messages for a year now , there were a few messages that bothered me, the one where the father was ashamed to be seen with his kid in public and one where the father embarassed their kid with their online boy friend, I know you all love your kids but I find some parents complaining, well two things i just have to ask/say 1) why are you complaining when it's not your fault your kids are overweight 2) If your child was not able to see that it was wrong on how they were eating it is your fault because you should've been caring for them since you love them so much, Thank ypu for reading this.

Reply from Sharon, Child's Age 14 - 07/09/04 - IP#: 66.160.127.xxx i must agree with the child that logged on. it is up to the parents to head children away from anything and anyone that is unhealthy. if that means no extra lunch money, or not buying snacks than so be it. my daughter started gaining a little to much and we talked and she knows that she can fill up the cart with junk and i'll leave it back at the register. i'm here to parent not be her friend and through it all she still tells me thank you when the bulb goes off in her head.
Reply from Winona, Child's Age 17 - 07/09/04 - IP#: 63.183.112.xxx No it isn't completely the parents fault. From a young age, children are often away from their parents and left to make their own choices. You can't follow them around everywhere, and even if you could that would be overprotective to the extreme. But as someone grows up, people hope they learn to make better choices about eating. It can't all be the parents decision.

Reply from JS, Child's Age 12 - 07/06/04 - IP#: 148.167.126.xxx to the person who replied to this post: its not the parents or the chlids fault thier overweight. though the child does have bad habits, its something most arent aware of,and if they are, try and change. however, parents do play an influence tro these habits. i cant even count the number of times ive binged after my dad hit me or somthing.
