Hi
I am going out of my mind worrying about the rubbish my kids eat. I have one son who swaps between sandwiches with either Ham, Cheese or Lemon curd and Fish fingers or Chicken nuggets. A son who eats Pizza, Pasta, Cereal. I know you may be saying that that sounds normal for kids in this day and age but I feel I am worried sick thinking they will be ill with the junk they eat Its all Processed muck. The worse thing is that I feel I am out of control as My wife who does the shopping cant resist buying this stuff over and over. She is over weight and cant see the problem in giving them things they will eat. The problem is I have a three year old who is seeing the food they eat and wants to copy them.
The more I say to her dont buy it the more she seems to buy it. She will use phrases like "when its gone its gone". I have tried educating the kids but they say that mum keeps buying it. I feel this is setting the foundations for the future.
I feel totally lost and worried. One side of me does not want to fall out with my Wife and the other is scared for my kids health. Am I over reacting???
Helpppp.
Mee
P.S. May Be this is a General anxiety problem or can Health anxiety stretch to your family?
