I think being openly rude to anyone for something that does not harm other people is very rude itself, so I consider being rude to overweight people because they are overweight as something very unacceptable.
parents may give their overweight children a hard time, if they are projecting their own feelings of embarrassment at them, embarrassment of having a fat kid, and being mortified at the prospect of being called a bad parent...feeling that they have failed. somehow.
of course, this is certainly not the fault of the kid, and it is very hurtful to both parties when an elder places the blame of their own bad predicament on the kid (ie, "if you weren't fat, i'd be much happier")
BS, you are the one who is making yourself unhappy, failing to take responsibility for your own state of mindit is very unfortunate. in many families with overweight kids, not only to they have to bear the weight of their own adipose tissue, but the weight of their relatives' suffering as well...
Yes exactly that. I have been recently reading research about ASD, and I remember CAMH posted an article about how teaching CBT techniques and mindfulness to caretakers of people with ASD reduce the caretakers' stresses in the long term much better than teaching actual real life skills to help caretakers to take care of ASD people.
I guess it is the same thing for parents of overweight children, the burden of the emotional stress and judgements from others really out-weighs the burden of the real care-taking stress.
