i find the judging of others hard to take. when people see my daughter they presume shes underfed and people assuming its because i eat her food. then if shes having a "good" day and she eats a big portion or has seconds and dessert they think shes over eating and that i must be setting a bad example because of my weight problems. if folks bothered to ask the reasn why i would happily tell them that she burns alot of cals due to her cerebral palsy and her health conditions and that she was fed via a gastrostomy for 7 years and if she didnt eat well now we would have to go back to tube feeds. i also had people who would comment on me not giving her child friendly meals as once she learnt to eat at age 3 i fed her what we eat so shes grown up with african foods so plaintain, cassava and rice dishes with spicy sauces. when i asked what kids food was i was told fish fingers, sausages, chips etc .without knowing every individuals story we cant possibly comment on a childs eating and to call it child abuse is appaling.
