The child in question is a close relative, she's 6 and she is very, very overweight. This is mainly due to a terrible diet but also possibly in part due to her genes.
I have thought of getting her an Easter craft set or soft toy instead which I'm sure she'll love but I know she'll be wondering where the chocolate egg is too as that is what she and her siblings look forward to.
I'm thinking I probably will get her a smallish one as in the grand scheme of things an Easter egg off me isn't going to make much difference but would you say this is the wrong thing to do?
Her mum doesn't think there is a problem with her weight and has ripped the heads off any professionals that have expressed concerns. She isn't a particularly nice person and refuses to take any action to help her DD.
