Our daughter is 17, and she's very overweight, possibly obese. I don't know what she weighs, I can only go off what I see. What I see if my daughter gets winded quite easily, doesn't move around much, and has an issue over-eating. I will say that that's our fault for bringing that kind of food into the house and assuming it'd be eaten in moderation.
Where my wife and I split is about how concerned we need to be about our daughter's health as this weight issue has picked up.I'm at a point where again, I kick myself for ever being lax on junk food being in the house and dropping the ball, not getting in front of this issue sooner, but, I'm very frustrated that my wife sees it as a non-issue, has an excuse for everything.
I've tried talking to my daughter about my concerns. What she does is roll her eyes and tell me that mom says she doesn't have to discuss it if she doesn't want to.
Our daughter came home yesterday and told us that one of her uniform pants for school almost doesn't button. She blamed it on the dryer. My wife backed her up. Last night, I told my wife she needs to get her head out of the sand here and just admit that the pants issue is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. It's not a dryer issue, she's just outright getting too big and is exactly why we need to have a family discussion about our daughter's health. My wife says she " refuses that premise"
AITA?
