Losing weight
bad example with overwhelming pressure for children?
AnonymousGuest ·
I’m sometimes really shocked by how people can make mean comments about someone’s weight (in this case) right in front of my daughter!
I had a meeting at my daughter’s school yesterday. They said she’s disruptive in class because she’s so hyper. Halfway through the conversation, the teacher asked, "Doesn’t Amy get too much sugar? Considering you’re quite overweight yourself, especially at such a young age! Bad role model for your daughter, you know."
And he said this right in front of my daughter. Of course, she had to laugh really hard...
I know myself that at 32 years old, 173 cm and 85 kg, I’m not the slimmest and definitely not underweight, but should that be said in a meeting where my daughter is present and in such a way?
I find this very inconsiderate and didn’t know what to say at the moment, and I’ve actually started doubting myself because of it.
Are 'fat mothers' really such a bad role model?
