I've dealt with food hoarding 24/7 for the last nearly 6 months now LOL! That's a longer story though. Rebel seems compelled to never stop eating. What a battle.
Of course his issues aren't helped when at visits, just like your kiddos mom, his mom fills him full of crap. Vending machine fare. He too gets horrible diarrhea from it, no vomiting yet as this kiddo can pack anything in and will NOT let it back up. He practices this technique everyday despite my best efforts.
My favorite was a couple of weeks ago when an aunt was also present at the visit. They proceeded to stuff him full of all sorts of crap including an entire bag of chips and a whole chocolate bar just as they were buckling him into his car seat!!!! I found wrappers galore in the diaper bag once we got home. As a result of all the sugar he was a basket case the rest of the day and had horrific poos for days following. What really irks me is that I send fresh fruits, granola bars, healthy juices etc, seriously, tons of it, in the diaper bag each time. None of that is ever touched.
Anyway, I sympathize. It's all about power and control. They haven't got much of it left and are grasping at straws to regain something. Or are too into spoiling that they can't see past the consequences of it all. In either event it's too sad that it's got to be at the expense of the child's health.
