Oh geez - guess what my DD did for Mom's
| Mon, 05-10-2004 - 7:16pm |
Day. She's 11, and despite theoretically *knowing* I'm on a diet, she decided to make a very fancy brunch (french toast made from croissants, etc) and then chocolate cake for dessert!!!! I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry - I obviously had a choice between breaking my diet or breaking her heart (well, a little overstated, but she would have been really hurt and disappointed) so you know which one I picked :-) Hopefully now, though, I've clarified the importance of sticking to my diet to her...and if not, my birthday isn't until December, LOL!

To even suggest that shows nothing more than cruelty.
First, perhaps it never occurred to you that this girl MADE her mom the brunch---instead of going out and buying something. To me that shows that she knows that gifts from the heart mean A LOT MORE than purchased ones.
Second, good health means not denying yourself all the time. Any doctor would agree. One meal does not a diet break.
And third, saying she couldn't eat the meal WOULD have broken her daughter's heart and left her w/a very bad taste in her mouth for Mother's Day in the future.
I'm sure you know all this, but as your screen name implies, you ARE a drama queen. God help your family---you must be a real treat to live with. In the future, keep your snotty replies to yourself.
