This is about a friend of a friend. She is a lovely person who tries hard with her kids. One child (3) is very overweight, her husband is obese. Friend of a friend is trying to make changes to diet etc. The husband regularly posts photos on Facebook of kids eating, cake, ice cream etc with the line, don't tell mum! Husband is quite stubborn and a bit scary.
I have trouble with my kids and food and so at a party I saw him and said we should swap kids, (basically meaning I will slim down yours and you can fatten up mine). I know this is completely un PC and not my business and I know I overstepped every equitette rule in the book, but frankly I am horrified that he is doing this to his kids. Now everyone knows I said this and I am embarrassed but also angry on behalf of the child. I find it hard to say nothing obviously! Am I being unreasonable?
BTW husband was a notable athlete in his youth. Only gained weight since marrying.
