How can I get BF and BM to feed overweight SD better?
I have been SM to SD10 and SS 9 for 4 years, when I first started dating BF he had a candy drawer in his fridge that the children were allowed to go in at all times. One day we were having dinner and SD was holding bread in her fist and jamming it in her mouth ,this was the first time I had to speak out and tell her to stop stuffing her face and have some manners. BF agreed then proceeded to hand her another piece of bread. I was mortified, this child is at least 35 lbs over weight !
What is reasonable for kids chores?? 9yr old boy and 10 yr. old girl
We have come to the table on several occasions (bio mom and bio dad and I) to address this issue.Dad always agrees that they should be responsible for a few things around the house as does mom, however I am the only one trying to reinforce this and when I do I am looked at as a tyrant and screamed at that I am "ALWAYS ON THEM". Mind you their only chores are SS9 is to vacuum the basement stairs and help with their laundry and SD10 does her laundry and just normal stuff like cleaning up after themselves.
