madly i freaking hate this whole thing of calling parents up and telling them their children are fat do something about it when 1 if you look at a kid and they are obviously not overweight then wheres the problem, 2 bmi is a load of crap especially for kids 3. this whole calling thing is digusting! it would take all my might to go lets talk about your kids, what time do they go to bed? 10pm well mine go to bed at 7.30, how many sports do they do? 3 mine do 5? do yours like fruit and veg? no mine do! do you give yours chocolate? yes well i dont? hmm you must feel like such a crap mother as all is wrong with my child is they failed a non accurate exam, yous are obviously out of control, in fact i saw a panflet about uncontrollable kids i shall send it to you and call you a week later to see if you have implemented anything ok I shall call YOU in a week goodbye!
it would make me feel so much better! at the end of the day these people are not trained doctors, gps, nutitionists even gym instructors so if they ever call me up and suggest i am a bad parent effectively killing my child with food i will flip the tables and say goodness your children must have terrible self esteem and body image issues, did you know that could lead to depression and issues with eating such as bulimia and anorexia? now THAT could REALLY kill em whereas the odd fun size milky bar . . not so much!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr really really gets my goat!
