Parents are supplying food for the children, so why aren't they checking to see if the food i healthy first instead of becoming their kid's doormat. Also it depends on the quantity of the food as well. If the kids had a limit and moderate exercise, then this wouldn't have even occured. |
....well mostly. Parents these days are pushovers compared to long ago. I feel parents are mostly to blame, but not fully. Parents can only control so much. I remember as a child sneaking to the corner store to buy things like candy bars and sugar cereal. I know my children when they got older went to places like 7-11 to buy junk food during middle and high school. I do not feel like I could have prevented my kids from eating garbage from stores or from other friends' houses. At that point as a parent, the only way I could forsee keeping our kids from eating bad food 100% of the time would be if the makers never made it in the first place.
