I think so

[the truth]

yes unless there is a serious underlying condition that makes it almost impossible to keep the weight down. i think parents who dont work are also bad parents who show their kids the wrong example of lazy worklessness

As opposed to the right example of lazy worklessness?

My kids are like bean poles, does that mean we are bad parents because we don't feed them enough? Some kids are overweight due to genes, some are overweight due to comfort eating due to bullying, some are fat because their parents can't afford to/or have time to cook proper meals so live on chips/burgers/nuggets, there is a percentage of bad parenting involved but not all fat children have parents with poor parenting skills, anymore than all thin children have amazing parents.

Could not have put it better.
I had a fat nephew, his mother is a fantastic mother perhaps a little OTT with the attention he was given as an only child.
Anyhow, he is now a rather fit, strapping Sub-mariner.


I was a very underweight child, and had the mother from hell.

Yep, pretty much agree. What crap are these parents allowing kids to eat? Aren't these parents making sure the kids exercise?

If the parents are fat then it's probably genetic

Just feed them less if they have a low metabolism, that's what I say.

[Livia]

I'm more disturbed by people who raise idiots.

[Jords]

Not a 'bad' parent but a bit irresponsible or careless maybe.

[the truth]

people are too scared to criticize chavvy parents for fera of retribution. theyre often bullies who give out criticism but cant take it back. happy to take the tax payers money though to subsidise their lazy lifestyles and no im not a daily mail reader just a student at the university of life

I dunno, I put on a lot of weight when I was 10 years old out of nowhere, I'm not sure my parents even really know how it happened, I wouldn't say they were bad parents - neither of my brothers have ever been fat so I think it's a bit of a mystery to everyone

I was 10 years old I've no idea what I was doing in my spare time I'm pretty sure I still did sports, I just gained weight really quickly out of the blue, but yeah to address the OP - I think if an entire family is fat, parents, all the kids, then yeah that's probably bad parenting; but if as in my case one of the kids is overweight but none of the rest of the family are then it's not really the same thing.

Dragons prefer fat children so every cloud and all that

If your kids are fat chances are the parents are too........these KFC buckets don't eat themselves.
