he only eats what he likes
If your child is 8 years old with no genetic predisposition for obesity and weighs 14 stone, you are a bad mother.
If your child will only eat processed, fried or sweet food and screams and has tantrums if given anything else, you are a bad mother.
If your child is on the verge of being taken into Social Services care for his own good, you are a bad mother.
If you are incapable of saying "no" to your child and use the excuse that "he only eats what he likes," meaning that you feed him 3 times the average daily calorie intake of a child his age and you are unwilling to let him go without food until he is more prepared to eat what he ought instead of what he craves, you are a bad mother.
Why has no-one in today's media (I mean, the radio I've heard today) said this?
...or should I start reading the Daily Mail and take up hand-wringing?
