Man, BM just keeps getting hit. Yet another professional telling her that the issues she's having with the kiddos are parenting issues, not something wrong with the kids. *ROFL*

This time it was the nutritionist SS12 had to see. Nutritionist said that SS12 is fine, and what we are already doing to accomodate my personal diet by swapping in veggies instead of rice/pasta/etc. is plenty for him. She stated that children should not be put on a strict diet like BM suggested because that will just make the kids sneak really bad food and will actually make it worse. Cooking healthy meals and parenting by denying a third helping or dessert is what SS12 needs. (And the nutrionist loved our rule that the second helping must be mainly veggies.)

The nutritionist also made it very plain that in no way, shape, or form should SD13 be held to the same meal standards as SS12. SD13 is 1lb away from underweight. SS12 is overweight bordering on obese according to BMI. (Please bear in mind that SS12 is extremely physically active, has a ton of muscle, and his pediatrician feels SS12's body is perfectly healthy as is.Doc is happy with the amount of muscle and thinks the extra pudge right now is SS12 prepping for a growth spurt.)  Yet BM is trying to say that both kids should be on the exact same strict diet. 

I can't wrap my head around the way BM hears the doctor/therapist/nutritionist telling her she's wrong, then immediately sending DH a text or email stating "We need to follow doctor/therapist/nutritionist instructions and do exactly the opposite of what the professional actually said." And it's always either radio silence when DH points out that he was at the appointment, that is the opposite of what the professional said, and he's willing to get a written statement from said professional if her memory is so bad. Or the response is "I'm the parent. I do what I want."
