Hitting My Stride V

[Dawn70]

Wow....maybe it is just me (and I'm totally weird so I get it if it is), but that all seems a bit harsh on the doctor's part. I am all about discipline, pushing kids to do their best, making them do chores and pick up after themselves, but to actually say to his face that he needs to grow a pair because he said a box is too heavy? I thought she said that to you. I didn't realize she said it directly to him. And tell him he's getting fat????? Yikes! I wouldn't be surprised if the kid is a freaking mess. I mean, isn't he like 6 or 7? So, if he is getting fat, that is kind of on her and what she is feeding him because a kid that age isn't going to have the chance to get a lot of extra food, particularly junk food, unless someone buys it for them and gives it to them. And, if he is not outside and active like other kids, well, again, kind of on her because she is the adult and can MAKE HIM go outside and play. I kind of felt sorry for her when you first started describing the kid's behavior awhile back, but now I just feel sorry for him. I'd be careful. If you gain some weight or complain about something, she might call you fat or tell you you need to grow a pair.
