Reddit is calling out one mom's unrealistic eating expectations for her growing children.
“My 9-year-old son has started to ask for adult meals when taken out for food,” he said inThe dad says he buys his son whatever he asks for. The size and cost don’t bother him , but what does bother him is the way his ex reacts to these decisions. In her mind, a child should be sticking to a Happy Meal size.At this point, Redditors were already rolling their eyes. I mean, seriously? We all know a kid who can out-eat us.
According to dad, he and his ex-wife have always “clashed” when it comes to deciding on portion sizes for their two sons. He never felt his ex-wife gave them enough food. “They used to often complain about being hungry. The older boy even resorted to smuggling bags of crisps. At the time I didn’t feel able to openly go against my ex as she was known for criticizing me loudly to her friends, and even over social media, if I went against her.”“If your child is taking to hiding food, then it is clear your ex is creating an unhealthy environment as it relates to food.
But wait — there’s more. The battle of the burgers came to a head this holiday season. Dad had the boys over Christmas and said they had some takeout and other treats. His 5-year-old still requests kids’ meals, but his 9-year-old didn’t leave a scrap of the food offered to him other than some pizza crusts. “I hadn’t even got back to my home when I got a ping on WhatsApp,” he says. “It was my ex, complaining that she’d weighed both boys and they had ‘put on a substantial amount of weight.
