Re: Speaking of liability/attractive nuisances.



It seems to me that she has an eating disorder, and she may be
creating one in her son as well.

My older sister is a compulsive overeater and is right now about 100
pounds over her ideal body weight. She has had this problem since her
teenage years. Her daughter, who is 21, has bulimia. Food has always
been a problem in that family, from the first days of my niece's life,
so it doesn't really surprise me that my niece (a different one from
the one I've talked about in another thread) has her own food issues.
It shows up in different ways, but it sounds to me like your
sister-in-law might need to look at her own issues around food and how
they may be affecting her son.

Just my $.02.

I, too, feared Cody being fat because of my weight problem, but I fed him
properly. I was scared because he was a 10 pound baby so he was born huge.
I refused to start any food until my doctor said to as he was a weight
conscience doc as well. I introduced foods slowly, very slowly due to
family history of allergies. He is perfect weight and was so after 1st year
on and has maintained that. Raised him on lots of fruits and veggies
(something kids love if you expose them to them from the get go). Not a big
junk food eater never was, never had the stomach to handle it - like ma!
You still have to feed them, but it sounds like this woman has actual food
fears and food issues. I would say she needs a head doc, pronto!
