A Guys Asked If He Was Wrong for Fat-Shaming His Teen Daughter on Her Birthday

I think I know my answer to this question that someone asked on Reddit, but I’ll let you make up your own mind.

A father took to Reddit’s “Am I the Asshole” page to ask about how he treated his teenage daughter about her weight. Read the man’s words and then decide how you feel about this situation.

sight

Here is the full post from Reddit:

“This happened a few months ago. I just learned about this subreddit and thought this would be a good place to ask about a point of contention in the family.

My daughter is overweight. Not anything too drastic, but she is around 5’4 and 155 pounds. So she could stand to lose a few pounds. I’ve been concerned about her weight for a long time. None of it has been helped by my also-overweight, enabling wife.

On her 19th birthday, in August, we went on a hike in the state forest. She complained about it literally the entire time. She didn’t like that it was hot, she didn’t like the incline, she didn’t like the mosquitoes. I still encouraged her and pushed on, I think she was satisfied with having exercised at the end of it.

Hiking

But, while we were driving back home, she knew that we would be driving past a Dunkin Donuts. She wanted me to stop so she could get herself a “birthday donut.” I said no. She was upset about it, saying she just wanted a donut and she’d just done this long hike to please me on her birthday. I argued calmly that she didn’t want to undo all the work of the hike by getting a donut. She said the one she wanted is 350 calories (which I doubt is true) and would fit into her day. I pointed out she’d probably be eating cake later. We didn’t stop and she sulked about it on the whole ride back. When we got home, she told her mother, who of course sided with her and went on a rant about how our daughter’s birthday shouldn’t be a time I’m preaching healthy eating.

Donuts

I am trying to protect her health at every turn, when she spends most of her free time with her mother. Am I really the asshole for not wanting to stop and get her a fatty donut after a nice hike?”

People weighed in on the situation and it was pretty clear that basically NO ONE was on this guy’s side.

“You’ve got to be fuckin kidding my man. On her birthday, you forced your daughter into an activity I suspect you knew she would not enjoy, and then denied her a 75 cent treat. Beyond that, you didn’t even pretend you took the hike for time together, or– God forbid– her enjoyment; you made it clear that your focus for this event was getting her to exercise. You’re a huge asshole.”

Angry Man

“This is completely the wrong way to go about helping someone lose weight.. One hike is not going to make a difference in the larger picture of health, but this memory is going to be burned into her brain. Health and weightloss is an ongoing lifestyle change and one doughnut has ZERO impact on her weight.

As someone who spent their teens slightly overweight, it was my relationship WITH food that was the problem, I was an emotional over eater, no matter how much I wanted to slim down. My parents withholding something like a doughnut only drove me to eat in secret and form unhealthy habits. such as binge eating. For teenage girls, their relationship with their body easily becomes a societal reflection of their self worth.

You say she “sulked” in the car home, she was probably filled with lots of shame and self hatred that she was fighting with her dad who clearly views her as fat. If you really want to help your daughter, which you seem to care about, you need to change your tactics.

Depriving her of one doughnut is not the solution, working on life long healthy patterns is. For me, I dropped weight in university when I found an activity I liked to do with friends and learning to cook my own food, so that when I wanted a something tasty, I could make something myself rather than grabbing and downing a bag of chips. You’re not wrong to want your daughter to be healthy, but weightloss is as much about mental health as physical.”

What do you think about this situation? Does the dad have a point or is he WAY off base?

This Dad Bought a Christmas Tree and Trolled His Wife with Photoshopped Pics

This turned out to be quite a combination: a dad left on his own to shop without his wife and a dad who knew how to use Photoshop to mess with that wife.

The dad I’m talking about went to buy a Christmas tree without his wife because she was too busy and so he decided to mess with her a little bit using Photoshop to convince her that he bought an enormous tree.

Take a look at the whole conversation, which was posted on Imgur.

Best Friends of Nearly Eighty Years Are Now Stirring up Trouble Together in the Same Nursing Home

My best friend and I have been BFF for just over three decades at this point, and while neither of us is getting out of this friendship anytime soon, eight decades still seems like a long way off.

For Olive Woodward and Kathleen Saville, though, the decades might have seen them following their own paths, but those roads have wound around and come back together again eighty years on – at the same care facility.

The pair met when they were just 11, at primary school in Nottingham back in 1941. They were neighbors, as well, and grew up best friends.

They married men who worked at the same company and lived on the same road as adults, as well, and staying close through all of life’s ups, downs, and the daily stuff in between.

After 35 years of marriage, Kathleen’s husband died in 1989. She lived on her own for many years afterward before moving into Berry Hilly Park, a care home in Mansfield.

Olive was married 50 years before her husband died, and she too lived alone for a while…before joining her best friend in Berry Hill Park.

Now 89, the pair are the oldest women in the facility (though they’re sure they don’t look a day over 63, and we agree!).

“I’m so glad Olive is here now,” Kathleen confided to Bored Panda. “We’re like giggling schoolgirls, and we still put on our lippy and get dressed up. We always say to each other ‘if you’ve got it, flaunt it.’”

The women also admit to “knocking the staff into shape” and to racing the managers around just for fun. They love to laugh together, and age isn’t going to stop them having a good time.

They’re definitely #goals! Just 50 more years and I’ll be there myself (at least I hope so), and I can’t think of a better way to spend my golden years than raising cane with my bestie!
