Does anyone else have a 13 year old who is like this, he's constantly eating chocolate and sweets and is always texting or playing on his phone. Every day he'll get texts from his friends and then go to mcdonalds to eat a weeks worth of food. It's actually reached a point now where if he's hungry he will text me from upstairs and ask me to bring him some food up !

It's driving me mad Shock

Don't buy any sweets or snacks for him (or the rest of you !)

Where does he get the money from for crap food?

Fill him up with mountains of potatoes/ pasta/ veg & fruit, teens will always eat crap if allowed but of you at least get some basic healthy stodge down him it'll counteract the rubbish they inhale.

And FFS do NOT take him food on demand, you are not his skivvy!!!

Oh yes I could easily have written this post.

The exorcist child wakes up here every morning and victor meldrew goes to sleep here every night and inbetween he eats everything in sight.

I do love him Grin

It's good to see he's not the only one, with the amount of food he's eating and the lack of exercise he's getting he seems to be getting fatter and fatter everyday Grin
