I’m a proud mother of 5 and my third DC came home for Christmas. I was shocked and horrified when she (late thirties and my only daughter) came in the door that she had gained, at least, 1 stone!!! I tried to act calm and I didn’t mention anything for a while - but when I was making Christmas dinner and was plating it all up I decided to not give her mashed potatoes and pigs and blankets and instead replace them with extra veg (delicious veg mind you from Waitrose). She asked me why she had no mash or pigs and blankets and I just told her very gently that she needs to take care of her appearance and health. Apparently I was being ‘fat phobic’ but I don’t think that’s correct at all!!! Is it wrong to care about your daughter’s appearance and health all of a sudden???
