Well, her brother got upset and swore he wasn’t a weak parent. Rather, he just hates seeing his daughter sad and knows that the lifestyle changes will make her upset – because, right now, she’s a happy kid.
However, she pointed out how his daughter was, of course, happy since she got to eat whatever she wanted and as much as she wanted.
“Nobody asks her to exercise, and nobody tells her that they aren’t going to buy her bigger clothes, so she has to do what she can to fit into what she has,” she added.
But, her brother felt like she was just “painting” his daughter as a “fat, lazy, spoiled brat” and asked her not to do that. So, she tried to clarify how she never said those things.
Nonetheless, in the wake of their conversation, she can’t help but wonder if calling her brother a weak parent was the right way to handle this situation.
Do you think her brother needed to hear the tough truth? Or should she have been less harsh? How can she balance being both honest and supportive in the future?
