My mother is acting like dd is going to pile on the weight by eating one meal that isn’t healthy.
My mother has always had issues around food (both hers and mine growing up). I do not want this to pass onto dc as it still has a huge affect on me snd my relationship with food as an adult.
Dd is 3 and eats well. Her favourite foods are cucumber and pepper! She is a healthy weight and there isn’t any fat on her. She recently had her height and weight measured for her red book which I thought would reassure my mum.
Today dd wanted chocolate spread on toast for lunch. She doesn’t usually have this but I let her. She had it with strawberries on top. I want her to have a healthy relationship with all food.
we are at my mum’s and she is now saying that dd will be WAY over her ‘calories’ for the day and what will I cut her down on later to make sure she doesn’t over eat 🤨.
Dd is on the to go all the time and very active so I’m not worried in the slightest.
We are with my mum daily due to caring responsibilities. How do I shield my dd from my mum’s issues with food and get my mum to back off?
