Mom Confessions
My DH's great grandmother, Louise, lives out of state. She sent both of our children a Christmas Card with $10 for each of them. She wrote a nice little note on the side, to each child, saying how much she loves them. Then, to the left of the card she puts "Go get you a McDonald" (with the $10, obviously). Well, my 6 yr old reads the card and gets really excited because "now we can have a McDonald Happy Meal!" I had to tell her no. She knows that she's not allowed to have McDonalds. She got really upset, so I got on my computer and googled obese children. I showed her the pics and asked her if she wanted to be like that. Of course, she said no. Ok, end of discussion.....until about 15 minutes ago.
Louise calls and my 6 yr old answers the phone. Apparently, she asked my daughter is she got to go to McDonalds. I hear my daughter tell her no, that "we aren't allowed to have that kind of food". Then, she asks to speak to me. We get into a heated argument and I have to tell her "Look Louise, my children only eat non-fattening, organic, healthy foods." Then she hangs up in my face! What a bitch!
DH thinks I overreacted, but I don't care. I refuse to have unheathy children. For those of you that will surely ask for a pic:
This one is my 6 yr olds card. McDonalds isn't even spelled right on this one. My youngest daughters is spelled correctly though.
You ladies are crazy! I had no idea this post would get this many responses. For the record, some of you questioned the validity of the Cards. They are 100% real. And.....I have a new pic. We just ate supper, and guess what we had?
Edit again!
This was/is a troll post.

Doesn't even look like the same handwriting to me -
Just because your kids eat a happy meal every once in a while does not mean they will be fat. It's not that big of a deal.

Why can't your 6 year old have a happy meal? You sound petty.
-
..... You over reacted. One happy meal isn't going to make them fat or obese. 100 happy meals eaten with in a day will , though. -
What's McDonell?? Pffft old people...

I think you overreacted, but they are your kids, your choice.

We limit fast food in our house as well but make exceptions once in a while for grandparents. Watching what we eat is only half the battle. The other half is exercise, and we have that one down.
