I know my mother did not mean that, but I also know I will never hide food from my children, I tell them they get less junk than I cause I am 6 ft tall, they are short, what is fine for me will make them sick (and I limit what I eat, cause I know they will one day be 6 ft tall!)

Please do not hide food from your children! It can't be worth the psych problems!

Michael knows I hide food from him-it is still his he just knows that he goes through it all too fast. He eats like a horse and is tall and lanky. He by no means goes hungry and he eats plenty of good and bad food.
