We don’t do our kids any favors by putting up with that stuff when they are 2, 10 or 30. Anytime a child can mistreat a parent, the parent loses – and so does the child, in a very big way.

What? Making you fat. What does this kid know? I am the weight management consultant.  He doesn’t know what he is talking about.

After looking more closely at what I had served him…Well, he was right.
