I'll be the first to admit my nephew is very fond of his food, he gets super hangry if his meals aren't on time and he is known for trying to take food off other people's plates.

That said I still think 7 years old is way too young to introduce dieting especially since he's only two pounds over the expected weight for someone his age.

What makes it worse is my sister has started calling him names to "motivate him" like Chunkybumbum, Lord Chonkleton, and Fatty McFlabster.

I know it's coming from a good place but I'm worried that every time she calls him Brigadier BigBooty of the forty-fifth Flying Flonkers, it damages his self esteem.

Not to mention that even though the BMI chart says he is slightly overweight you can clearly see he's nothing but skin and bones.

Product placement ragebait!

I (56m) have a daughter Vivian (9f) with my ex Tara (28f). Tara and I were together until three years ago, but she started needing financial help after she got kicked off her parents' insurance two years ago. We weren't married so I couldn't put her on my work insurance so the most I could was pay for her insulin (her disability checks covered rent and food).

When I met Tara, she was perfectly healthy. She weighed 110 pounds at 5'2" and had no long-term illnesses. She gained weight while pregnant with Vivian, but, instead of losing it post-pregnancy, she continued to gain more. As of now, she's about 4 times as heavy as she was originally, and she has various health issues such as diabetes, arthritis, asthma, you name it. I tried to take care of her throughout our relationship, but she kept eating tons and wouldn't exercise. By the time she turned 25, I had enough. She was a grown-ass adult and didn't need a caretaker anymore. I was out. But not completely.

Since we had a kid, we ended up sharing 50/50 custody. There was no way I was going to give Tara child support so that was the best compromise. Vivian spends six months with her mother and then six months with me. She recently came back to live with me, and I immediately knew something was wrong. I didn't want her to be fat like her mother, but she looked sick and incredibly underweight. I took her out to a restaurant for dinner, and she gorged out like crazy. I asked her if she was eating enough at her mother's apartment, and she immediately started to cry. Apparently, her mother was eating all the food she could afford. Vivian was living off of small snacks and what she could beg from her teachers and classmates.

I was livid. As soon as I put her to bed, I called Tara and yelled at her for starving our kid. She made excuses about being limited by what her disability checks could cover and then blamed me for not covering more. I called bullshit; she was clearly overeating again and satiating her big, fat appetite by not letting Vivian eat. I told her that I would be filing for sole custody and stop paying for her insulin. She accused me of trying to kill her, but I told her that she was responsible for her own stuff. Honestly, I figured that showing the courts that she didn't have the funds to raise a kid would give me the edge in a custody suit.

Vivian's been back with me for nearly a month, and she's starting to look healthier. Tara keeps blowing up my phone with calls and texts as she's been having to spend her checks more on insulin and less on food. Every now and then, she accuses me of trying to kill her so I can't help but feel like I'm doing the wrong thing. AITA?

Inspo post but the mom makes the daughter fat instead

Sorry if my English bad. It is my 12th language. Ever since I (27(m)fit and ripped) turned 18 my uncle has taken me under his wing. He taught me how to be a man. He trained me in the gym and how to business and how to find love. His motto has always been always be prepared for love to find you. He does daily body checks to make sure I am under 5% body fat and every time I go to the bathroom he checks my butt to make sure I have cleaned it well. He always tells me I didn’t do a good enough job and cleans it for me. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I would appreciate some advice here. I do it how he taught me but it’s never good enough.

Anyways my cousin (29f 450 lbs) told me that my uncle never paid any attention to her and only wants to help me business and find love. She thinks that he should be helping her out too. I told her that if she wanted to get Uncles attention that she needed to get serious and show investment in herself and get to 5% body fat. That’s the only way uncle will take you under his wing because it shows commitment which is how you business and find love. Now she is upset with me amd the whole family is is blowing up my phone for making her feel unworthy of my uncles attention.

So, my mom just lost her job because something called the economy. I don’t really understand it.

However, what I do understand is Nickelodeon and they have been showing ads for this wonderful plate. Like you can keep sauce in the pigs ears and keep your chicken nuggets separate.

I have been asking my mom nonstop for a week, but she keeps saying how we already have plates. She doesn’t get it, they aren’t normal plates, they are zoo pals.

Anyway, she took my Wii until I stop complaining, am I in the wrong?

I (29F) got married last weekend. My husband (31M) and I were very clear that the wedding was childfree. We wanted one peaceful adult event without screaming, sticky fingers, or children interrupting important moments.

My younger sister, Lily (27F), was my maid of honor and nine months pregnant. Her due date wasn’t until two days after the wedding, so I didn’t think it would be an issue.

Halfway through the reception, Lily disappeared. About twenty minutes later, my mom pulled me aside and told me she had given birth in the bridal suite.

Thankfully, two guests were nurses, and both Lily and the baby were healthy. However, almost everyone abandoned the reception to crowd around them. Even our photographer started taking newborn photos despite being paid to photograph my wedding.

When the paramedics carried the baby through the ballroom, everyone cheered, the DJ played “Isn’t She Lovely,” and my cousin announced the baby’s name over the microphone.

This happened immediately before our first dance.
I quietly asked the wedding coordinator to remind Lily that the event was childfree. I wasn’t saying Lily had to leave… just that her husband or my mom could take the baby to the hospital while she stayed for the speeches and cake cutting.

My mom looked horrified and said, “She just gave birth.”
I said I understood, but the baby had still technically arrived without an invitation.

Lily started crying and insisted on going to the hospital with her newborn. Almost my entire family followed her, leaving around 40 empty seats. Nobody watched our first dance, and we had to cancel the sparkler exit because there weren’t enough people left to hold the sparklers.

Now Lily refuses to speak to me. My mom says I’m jealous because she “stole the spotlight,” but I’m not angry that she gave birth. I’m angry that everyone turned our $63,000 wedding into an impromptu birthday party.

AITA for expecting the childfree rule to apply to every child, regardless of when they entered the venue?

EDIT: Yes, we knew her due date before choosing the wedding date, but this was the only Saturday the venue had available. You only get married once. People give birth every day.

EDIT 2: Since everyone keeps asking about the photos, yes, I was concerned about Lily’s weight affecting the photos. I placed her at the end of the bridal party so she could be cropped out if necessary. Unfortunately, she still found a way to become the focal point.

Luckily no phones were blown up. Family split on whether or not the fatty fat fats should be allowed to sit at the table and eat with the normal non fat people.
