This is something that one woman found herself struggling with when it came to her mom. She was expecting her first child with her husband, and her mom was volunteering first to help out for the first few weeks after the baby came, then for the first few months instead of them paying for daycare.
The problem was the grandma-to-be's nearly 400lb weight, which her daughter felt was incompatible to both staying in a walkup apartment and taking care of a new baby. When she communicated this to her mother after protests about the new parents using daycare professionals, she got offended, and the expecting mom wondered if she was in the wrong.

60-year-old mom flips out after daughter forbids her from babysitting her child because of her weight: 'She can’t walk 2 city blocks without sitting, can’t do any stairs, can’t fly unless she buys two seats'
Judgmental as the world can be when a person is not the size that is expected of them, it cannot be denied that there are usually physical limitations on what an individual can do when they reach a certain number on the scale. One of the sacrifices of being beyond a certain weight is that some things that would otherwise be considered normal become out of the realm of possibility. They are neither practical nor safe.
While losing weight is a battle that is much easier said than done, after a point, it is the only real solution for a person who is missing out on the things that they care about because of their size. Sometimes, the motivation to do this doesn't come until an unpleasant wakeup call. Even then, many are reluctant to admit that there may be an issue, and it isn't just themselves who they affect with that.
