Mom feeds 13-year-old girls pizza, donuts, and chips at sleepover, other moms call her a 'lousy mother' for feeding them junk: '[She said] her daughter would no longer be coming to any events at my home'

Is it just me, or has everyone gotten a little weird about the food their kids eat? I mean, parents have presumably always been a little bit conscious about what they're feeding their children. It's one of the biggest jobs of parenting. But it seems as though in the last couple of years, the amount of parents who micromanage their kids' diet down to the last decimal is staggering. The truth is, though, you don't have full, 100% control over what your children eat.

They are their own people, after all, and decide what they want to chew and swallow and what they don't. Not to mention, when you send your kids out of the home, you really can't control what they eat. Other parents might feed them other kinds of food. They might swap lunches in the cafeteria. Anything can happen.

Call me crazy, but I think this is good. It's good to surrender control. That way, your child learns how to comport themselves when they're out in the world, which is a good thing because they'll be adults one day who are completely in charge of feeding themselves. So the more they can learn to self-regulate, the better. But that's not what the parents in this story thought after they chewed out a fellow mom for what she fed their kids. Read on for the story and see what you think.
