NTA: School nurse’s note about child’s weight sparks concern
“NTA – Concerns about children’s health and bullying, valid points “
“NTA. People who are saying ‘have better self control’ probably have a much healthier relationship with food than people like you and me. My favorite thing in the world is sweets and I love to bake but I don’t do it that often because I know it’s hard to resist. I can resist once in while if I’m very motivated, but every day? Not a chance. I don’t blame you at all for asking her to tone it down. It’s not even that you asked her to stop baking, but you offered a good compromise of her giving her finished products away to other people. If she loves baking that’s great but it doesn’t give her the right to insist that her family eat everything she ever makes”
“NTA it’s reasonable to suggest giving away baked goods for business.”
