as a mother of a 10yo who really needs that next growth spurt to even out his pudgy baby belly right now…I am having a hard time trying to teach him moderation(oh and to learn to eat veggies, the garden idea didn’t work for me either)and still induldge him in desserts occassionally. He’s feeling the stress of being a little on the chubby side from his classmates right now even though hes a very active boy.
So thank you for a wake up. Thank you for reminding me that I need to try very hard to teach him to love himself and be patient with his body. Thank you for reminding me to buy him a hot chocolate. with extra whipped cream. Thank you for reminding all of us to be a little extra loving.

Gosh, call me a crazed once divorced, now happily married mother, but my first reaction to the mom’s reaction is she’s in an empty marriage. Or in the midst of getting a divorce. A mom who tears up when someone tells her she’s beautiful and gives her something is a mom who’s husband is missing some vital part – the loving bit. What you did was double good and may have just given her hope the world is a kind place.

I just want to say that this story has made my morning. Your gift of hot chocolate has probably changed the course of that little girl’s self esteem. I am not a mother as yet but when I am I endeavour to never put my self confidence issues on to my children.
Now I am off to make a hot chocolate!
