Talkback: Grandparents help to make children fat

Replies

  • Completely agree jo!

    My mum and grandma are treat obsessed, always a huge supply of sweets biscuits and cakes being given on the sly!!!

  • Another nod of agreement here too!!!

    Sadly Jo,I'm like your folks-I hate waste,love to see clean plates.image And my portion control isn't too good(hence Ian and I being a lil tubby) but,I'm getting better,I'm not so stressed with finishing every morsel,and would rather the boys knew self control and when to say they've had enough.

    However,they do have very healthy appetites,and snacks and treats are limited,as I'd rather they enjoyed their dinners!

  • Too right they do.Or they would if you let them.

    My Mum and Dad are of the eat everything on your plate generation,the don't waste it thinkers.We do encourage our children to eat,but I believe a child has to learn to stop when they're full,something I never learnt to.I still feel the need to clean my plate.

    Also my parents supply the treats,as does my own  nan,I just make sure they go in a cupboard and are eaten sensibly.
