Re: Parental time and childhood obesity

[Guest guest]

This is harsh on the fathers.

I can see the impact of parental time on obesity.

'However, to say that increased maternal time can help prevent obesity and

fathers - increase obesity........mmmmmmmmmm. I think both parents are

important.

But, like all research - you don't make a conclusion upon one study, no matter

how well designed it is. Or........maybe this research supported by extreme

republican who wants mothers back at the kitchen....LOL

" Furthermore, the more time a mother spends with the child, the less likely that

child is to be obese; conversely, the more time a father spends with a child,

the more likely the child will be obese, he said "

thought this was interesting. The article brings up good points about teaching

nutrition to fathers also. But money allocation differences between

mother/fathers are interesting. Also income!

From personal experience when my daughter is with her dad, they eat when he's

hungry, not whens she hungry or not at specific meal times.

I focus on meal times - breakfast, lunch, evening meal in addition to balanced

meals and movement.

Not that either one of us is more perfect than the other. She just comments on

the differences between lifestyle.

Also Honey we're Killing the Kids. the shows I've watched the dad's very

rarely get involved in the families routines, meal prep, bed time etc... I

haven't seen everyone and don't intend to.

But the point was made is that Dad may not be " into " the kcal of foods as much

as mom PLUS Dad can usually consume more kcal without gaining weight so he

doesn't stop to think that the kids aren't " little adults " . I didn't see bias

for moms, instead I see it as more liberating - get dad more involved.

I totally agree, dad should be more involved! I was thinking dads aren't

perceptive as moms to hunger cues, structured meals etc.... Both parents have

some great innate differences. With mom's working more dads need to learn more

" mom skills " , which means awareness of meal time, calories, nutrition. Dad's

income was like 3 times more than moms. And unfortunately income factors into

our eating patterns.

I would suspect that if the difference is indeed real, then it has more to

do with differences in parenting in general and how they use food might be

a piece of that.
