Afraid of passing your body issues on to your child?
Bethenny Frankel is saying that she is 2 months
pregnant with her fiance Jason Hoppy. For those that don’t know this, I used to work with Bethenny pre-Housewives fame. I got along great with her because I can well, can along with anyone and we have various things in common, like being obsessed with healthy food, in a healthy way of course.
My boyfriend tells me that he’s afraid I’m going to make my kids eat tofu and wheat germ cake. For the record I don’t eat either, but I am nervous that I may pass on some of my obssessive traits regarding food onto my kids. My first thought when I heard B was pregnant was that, oh god, that poor child is going to grow up not knowing what real mayo tastes like. I don’t even like mayo but the fact of the matter is that Bethenny is one of those women, like myself, with strong beliefs regarding food.
I guess what I’m trying to get at, is that I am afraid of raising a child that has no hope for having a healthy relationship with food. I feel like Bethenny is going to raise her child with one way of structure. Would you be strict about your kids diets or relaxed? Are you paranoid about raising a child with an eating disorder?
