and I agreed. he is overweight and I just couldnt lie again. he eats chips burgers crisps and is constantly looking for his next meal. dh acknowledges that he is greedy and yells at him about it (which I don't incidentally) but has just blown up at me for voicing the bleedin obvious.

for the record I love dss dearly, he is a lovely warm hearted boy who is a great brother to my dd

unfortunately eating wise he is rather like dh which is part of the reason dh reacted so angrily (denial), he is overweight, I have been very overweight myself until recently so I am not some kind of obsessive skinny minnie

birth mother is always on at him to exercise and serves up good healthy food, or so dss tells us, so she is aware of the problem although I am not close enough to talk to her about it

I am a shit stepmother arent I. should I have just lied? I am worried for his health going forward and think dh should support bm more and stop the constant greed when he stays with us. opinions please

Apologies for the rant and the hijack. It was directed at one poster really. (The one who made the "you step-parents" comment.)
