I would never speak about this in front of Dd. Obviously we talk with her about what’s healthy and what’s not so healthy and only a treat, important of exercise as they do at school.
But I am concerned about her weight. She is 5 years old about 3 stone and 7 pounds and about 110cm tall. Last year she was in 3-4 clothing and now she needs 5-6 & some 6-7 for most things and looks like she will outgrow it all soon so she’s jumped at least 2 clothes sizes. She has grown a lot taller.
She is a gorgeous girly but my partner gives her food food and more food. She has quite a big appetite but she does have a good balanced diet generally. She loves fruit and veg but she grazes a lot. I don’t think he realises how much he gives her and we fall out about it. He just gives into her! It’s not what she eats it’s the quantity.
I was an overweight child. I always felt so self conscience and still do now about my body. I really don’t want her having the same issues. Thankfully she does seem to have a lot more confidence than I did at that age but I worry as she gets older!
Today I’ve bought her some 6-7 leggings from primark and too tight. I’m hoping they are just small fitting.
He makes me feel guilty about thinking our daughter is overweight but surely aibu to be concerned? He’s so skinny and can eat what the hell he wants!!
Bmi calculator puts her on the 94th percentile which makes her overweight!
I just want her to be happy and confident. Surely that doesn’t make me a bad parent?
