Yesterday I waited for a friend and client in a restaurant and I found myself amused by this family of three, a mother, father, and a girl who must be about three years old. The mother was the one who ordered the food and when she was bringing the tray with their food, the little girl was already hopping excitedly for she must have been very hungry already.
Indeed, as soon as the mother started putting the food on the table, the cute girl was already getting herself ready, obviously wanting to eat already.
I noticed that no food was given to the little girl because it was the mother and father who alternately fed her using the same spoon they were using. The little girl only had to open her mouth big saying "Ah, ah.." to mean she wanted food to be put in her mouth. The mother, who was overweight, was clearly also very hungry, so there was more food going to her mouth than to her kid (of course). So many times I would catch the little expecting the mother to give her the food the mother was scooping, but only to be left with her mouth wide open as the food was going to her mother's mouth. The father, also overweight, was only occasionally feeding the child.
My, the family was so interesting to watch because I can see how they really appreciated the food. However, I think the little girl will soon suffer from weight problems because of what her parents have bought her. They had a large glass of coke, ice cream and fries for her and in spite of these foods given to her by her mother, she seemed not to be satisfied for she would keep on opening her mouth and say "ah, ah.." for her mother to feed her with rice and chicken.
I know it's none of my business but I just couldn't help myself from watching them the whole time.

This is truly an interesting story. Thanks for sharing!
Those food are really fattening and their diet need to
be revised. I hope this girl will have a better choice
of diet when she grows up so that she did not ended up
like her parents. I felt guilty too, I used to serve my
son with deep fried food like sausage, fried chicken and
nuggets.

They are so funny, but i think maybe they should try to keep fit, because both of the couples are overweight. Their daughter may have weight problem when she grows up.

Hey echo
You are right they have to take care of their food habits what to take and what not at least from now ,funny but i think the girl is still small and might want to eat many varieties of food and parents's can never say no to that the girl might her self might take care of her food habits when she get's the knowledge of her looks and personality .Am i right?

Hi cutie
This is a real interesting story ,there are some points to appreciate and some points to think .The appreciating point is they are looking after their child very well giving her to eat what ever she wants ,feeding her though they are hungry they are trying to feed her and points they have to think is about their over weight and their child's weight in future as they are already over weight the have t take care of their child's eating habits at least.I hope they will at some point still she's a kid so no need to worry right now .happy to see Such a Nice family and thank's for sharing.

Sounds like they are babying their child and not helping their child to learn to eat properly. My kids, even when they were older babies would not let me feed them. They wanted to feed themselves. And so, I would let them feed themselves. Even if they made a mess, I thought that was better as they learned how to feed themselves. And also, they stopped eating when they were full.
This child is not learning how to stop eating when she is full. And she is learning that is how to get attention from her parents - 'ah, ah, (feed me)' will get attention from her overweight parents. She is learning bad eating habits from her parents. And that is very sad.
It is best if young children learn to feed themselves. But also, for parents to pay attention to their children in other ways than just feeding them.

hi cutie oh my Gosh a three year old who has to be fed? really thats very interesting and the food they choose will condemn her to being obese before she is in her teens. My two when they were three were feeding themselves and oh my yuck.using a spoon the mom ate w ith? not snaitary at all. So the child is going to be spoiled rotten and be babyish not able to do much for herself and get really chubby when its not good to be that chubby. They are setting her up for being teased as a fat teen unless they change how they are feeding her and what they are feeding her.I wonder if she could talk as ah ah so unds like she may be retarded or something of that nature, maybe
brain damaged but still they need to teach her to feed herself and teach her proper foods t
o eat
o eat
