One of the bitches I had.
First... yesterday we went to bfast with the in laws. The kids normally eat bfast no later than 10:30 which I know, I know, is pretty darn late for most people. (I say show me rules that say kids need to eat by 8 am LOL) The inlaws get there at 10:30. We didnt get up till 9:40 and we had to wake J up at 10. He had slept thru Aislinn turning the tv on, and everything. I asked her if he ever woke up and she said that no, he's been sleeping the whole time. We get him up, and give him soem milk and get him dressed. We leave the house at around 10:45 to get bfast. Of course there is a line. By the time we get seated and get our food its like 11:30. So J was SUPER hungry at this point. We get him his own meal of mini pancakes, and sausage. He ate the WHOLE thing. He was so hungry. But, J eats a lot. He ate some of my bfast too, some potatoes, and he ate some of T's potatoes. He ate Aisys pancake.
So, I was telling my mom and sister about it, and I was laughing becuase it was funny. My sister said "You need to cut him off with the eating, you need to control that better" I kinda looked at her blankly, becuase you know she's had a billion kids. I said "Kids know when they are full, this isnt about just eating because he LIKES it, he doesnt know that yet, he's eating becuase he's hungry. Look at him, he's far from fat" she said "No, kids don't know any better, they will just keep eating and eating because it TASTES good. You need as his mom to make sure he doesnt stretch his stomach out" I blew it off, and said that it was fine.
I just cant believe they want me to tell my hungry child "No more" I think if anything THATS sending him the wrong message about food. He has a healthy appetite. He eats a big bfast and a big dinner, normally skipping lunch. He doesnt walk around with food in his hands all day, he actually snacks very little. He just eats a lot when he does eat.
It jsutpissed me off.
