Okay I get it; we
could all be a little more active. I get that we should throw some spinach in
the pasta sauce. I don't need the school planner that my kid reads everyday to
spout all that to her. I'm really not exaggerating; every single page is either
about eating habits or exercise.
This makes me
furious!
The 6 year old is
not the one making family decisions. She's not the one who determines how I'm
feeling and what I may or may not be capable of, and she certainly isn't the
one who does the grocery shopping or the cooking. The planner is telling her
that she should make a walking commitment, and eat more fresh foods. All I
could think was screw you planner! Stop brainwashing my child into thinking that
her soccer and 4 dance classes are not enough exercise in a week, or that we're
feeding her poison with our packaged noodles. The world isn't rainbows and
butterflies, nor is it a "processed food free" kind of place. If I
want to feed my kid a box of KD for dinner I'm damn well going to, so screw you
planner for condemning me for it.
