has a brother 15. Basically the? tiff was about body image and weight. While watching one of those true life episodes about teens) There was a girl on the show who wanted to be a model and she is also considered plus size. My nephew was walking in and out of the room saying derogatory things about overweight girls. Ex.: 'she cant be a model with a 58 inch waist'.. 'That's right your too fat for pictures' etc. I quickly had my say with him, he smarted off and I read him his rights.. He left the room with the eye roll and head shake. I explained the situation to his mother when she came into the house. She came to me later and told me she has 'taken care of it'. Later that night she came to me in private to 'chit chat' And reiterated that she would handle the situation. My sister is highly weight and body image conscious (she is thin but not very healthy due to a few health issues). She often makes comments about weight and size to her sons while in front of family. Since this little blow up happened there is tension between us. BY the Way I am PLUS Sized,proportioned and healthy. This has always been an issue with my sis, my total opposite body image compared to hers. I've always been confident outwardly with my body. She has this thing that I feel she is now getting even more crazy about. By the way she controls what and when her boys eat everyday. and will loud them out in front of fam and friends.. What and how should I handle this? I love my sis but don't agree and won't support her in this campaign to scare her children into being thin.
I let her know that I think she's a great mom and if that's what she's teaching her children in her house so be it however I would hope that her sons understand how rude it is to say these things.. Everyone in our family has different body types from petite to plus size, short to tall. How should I approach this. Now that I have moved closer to my family I see them much more often. So, I do want to address it.
