“Not long after, she stopped me from buying more of anything sweet when I took her grocery shopping and said she would have just fruits too, like me.”
Eventually, it became a nightly ritual where she and Zoe would eat some fruit together after dinner, and there were little to no sweet treats in the house. However, they still indulge in some whenever they go out to dinner.
Things started getting complicated when she got a call from a concerned mom of one of the children at Zoe’s after-school club. One day after school, all the children had a piece of butterscotch pie, including Zoe. There were leftovers, and as the moms gave the kids some to take home, Zoe refused and said there usually aren’t any desserts at her house.
The mom called and said she feared that Zoe was being set up to develop an eating disorder eventually and that kids should be allowed to have sweets in the house. She tried explaining to the concerned mom that it was Zoe’s choice not to have dessert every night and that she was still allowed treats at school.
“She said it was not right for me to set a low-carb diet lifestyle as an example for Zoe when she’s still so young and should not be restricted from eating anything,” she said.
She tried to reason with the mom once more and told her that Zoe is not restricted, but the mom still felt that Zoe was being held back from living the life of a normal kid because of their eating habits.
Is she wrong for no longer keeping sweets in the house, or should the mom at Zoe’s school mind her own business?
