My oldest son is tall and skinny for his age just like his dad was at that age and can eat even more than me sometimes but yet people feel the need to tell me I’m not feeding him enough just because he’s smaller than my other son and only 12lbs heavier than my daughter.
Not his fault that he has a high metabolism like his father and fathers family while my other two take after me. Just makes me so mad how people judge even children on if they are to skinny or to fat. It’s no ones business but the parents and the doctors on how much a child weighs. So if my child’s doctor says they are perfectly healthy then that’s what I’m going with not some random person who thinks they know more about my kids than their own darn doctor.
Sorry had to rant about how some think it’s their business to know everything.
@tiredmomof3, I get it lol. Rant away! Yeah my son eats like 5 apples a day lol
@kbbaybee16, my oldest loves his fruit to the point I have to make him slowdown eating it sometimes I love how he prefers his healthy snacks just with so many people coming up to me lately about my kids sizes had me needing to rant
My kid is skinny and short. But the doctor doesn’t complain. He eats well and very healthy. Even by choice he will choose an apple over anything else.
I totally understand. My youngest three are the same way. They see food and are instantly hungry lol. We’re constantly told we need to feed our children more lol but if we fed them as often as they wanted to eat they would eat nonstop lol
@youngbutwisemomma, yes so very irritating especially when someone thinks they know more bout your kids than you
I understand! My guy is skinny and tall. He’d eat all day long if you’d let him. People always feel the need to tell me how small he is even though my husband and I were both skinny and lanky as kids as well. We’ve never had a concern from a doctor so I’m not worried about. It does get very irritating though.
@kbbaybee16, it was bad enough last summer that I had to give my mom limits of how much he could eat cause she let him eat a whole watermelon in a day and half lol
