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.

I think you mean you only listen to opinions that agree with yours. youve come to the wrong place. bringing up kids of greasy fat filed foods and endless take aways and unbalanced diets is abuse. you dont think so. I do. Im here to fight for the kids. you can dismiss kids health as buzz words, I find that flippancy disgusting

That OP asked a question I answered it a little less hysterically than you, metabolism, life style, diet,genetics, medical problems all contribute to kids being overweight, but just because a child is overweight does not mean the parent is abusing them and if you think they are then by that logic my kids are abused as one of them is bordering on underweight for his age, should I force feed him to avoid the call from social services?
