Doesn't the fat 4 y.o. get inspected by a family nurse or whatever they're called, Griffin, when he has jabs and aftercare? I'd have thought that she or he would be making some strong recommendations about building his future health, which the mother isn't doing. He's conditioned her at an early age to meet his demands, from the sound of it, and she is too weak-willed to impose order. He doesn't know what's good for him at that age, but she has no excuse.

Mind you, bad parenting isn't something entirely new. A little boy living near me was fed sugar sandwiches as a regular shut-you-up, while another had no teeth, since they'd been rotted by endless sweets and fizzy drinks, and not made to brush them. His mother was horrendously fat, stupid, unkempt and lazy, in fact a real slut, and she'd just give 'Porky' (yes, that was his nickname!) what he wanted whenever he howled for it. This was in the 1950s and I think some parents went crazy following the end of rationing, stuffing their kids with all of the 'nice things' they'd been denied post-war. My own mother used to get furious if I wheedled (charmingly, rather than through squalling) sweets from my Grandmother!

[QUOTE="krizon, post: 2085679, member: 64950"] Doesn't the fat 4 y.o. get inspected by a family nurse or whatever they're called, Griffin, when he has jabs and aftercare? I'd have thought that she or he would be making some strong recommendations about building his future health, which the mother isn't doing. He's conditioned her at an early age to meet his demands, from the sound of it, and she is too weak-willed to impose order. He doesn't know what's good for him at that age, but she has no excuse. Mind you, bad parenting isn't something entirely new. A little boy living near me was fed sugar sandwiches as a regular shut-you-up, while another had no teeth, since they'd been rotted by endless sweets and fizzy drinks, and not made to brush them. His mother was horrendously fat, stupid, unkempt and lazy, in fact a real slut, and she'd just give 'Porky' (yes, that was his nickname!) what he wanted whenever he howled for it.
