It was a bad idea but it came from a good place. And having the occasional dumb idea or sometimes handling a situation poorly does not make you an unfit parent. She might be an unfit parent but we can't tell from this situation alone.

You don't care? You said before that it was ok to shame people! What are you even talking about?

Woah reel it in a bit there. I don't agree with what she did and it was really stupid, but that doesn't make her a horrible person or mother, just horrible in this particular area. We don't know how she is otherwise.

image people like you deem worthy of basic human respect? This friend I spoke of still lives at home working at some fast food place, I am attending college full time at a university. Now that doesn't make me a better person than her but I have done more and worked harder then she ever has and by your line of thinking you would treat her with respect but I deserve to be shamed.

That really wasn't my point. Yes I COULD have lost more weight if I worked out for more than the 2 hours a day and not attended the team parties where pizza was served, but why the hell should I have to do that? Why should I have to give up everything fun in my life in order to be treated like a normal person? One of my friends never did anything active and ate like the world was going to end everyday and she has never been above a size 2. Which is great for her I don't hate her for it but why does she deserve respect more than I do because she looks differently? Why should my weight undermine my human dignity? You said in another comment: "Why do we treat fat people like they are normal. If they are fat and ok with the shame of that go ahead but the thing that makes me want to lose weight is 100% understanding that im fat." So because I am more predisposed towards weight gain I should be punished? I can either "live with the shame" or dedicate every minute towards fitting into an imag

Haha we've tried, nothing affordable seems to work for her. She isn't thrilled about the crocs but she says she likes not having to deal will laces so that's good.

You'd think she'd have to be stoned blind to make vagina cookies and try to give them to kids. But she wasn't, she thought it would be a "good way to teach female anatomy" to 2nd graders, when the teacher politely declined saying that children aren't taught that until much later she flipped out and said all kinds of nasty things.

And maybe an exorcism...

works for me

What exactly makes someone trash?

Lol no I was and always have been flabby and at my leanest in high school I weighed 185 at 5'6', even though I was a good swimmer, I was a distance swimmer and always swam the 500 meter race (20 laps). Swimming burns A LOT of calories and I ate fruits, veggies, lean meats for the most part while only occasionally having some pasta or pizza at team events. What more would you have me do? Give up what little free time I had between practice and homework to workout MORE? Should I have eaten nothing but celery? Would that give me the right to be treated like a normal person? Because, ya know, my dignity as a human being should hinge solely on my weight.

Yeah that's a bit extreme and uncalled for.

Good for you but just because it hasn't does not mean it can't or won't. And if you did contract one of these things then you could potentially pass on to a baby or an old person and kill them.

I knew a vet who watched his best friend get blown up and got cut by one of his bone fragments. So I doubt it.

I don't know just something about the wording. And the fact that it was posted by a guest. But who knows.

Well you shouldn't hit people aside from self defense or other extreme circumstances. Regardless of gender.
