Only if you think the mom is one of those that over-indulges male children causing them to turn into disrespectful children.
ETA: I knew a guy that I could not stand to be at his house because he treated his mother like a doormat. She treated him like a royal prince and acted more like his servant than his mother.7 -
Is it just me or have the boards have really slowed sown since the last time I had a membership? The same threads over and over. Of course it doesn't help that I'm bumping this to the top again.TavistockToad wrote: »

Not at all. The descriptive word for the individual can still start with a b, just different following letters.1 -

At least it's not another keto thread.15 -

My boys are 14 and 17. They'd be shown the error of their ways VERY quickly if they called me stupid or said other that 'thank you' for a gesture of (assumed) kindness. I was going to say immaturity is at play here but really can't based on that.
Lots of assumptions being made, though. I've learned to never take a functional relationship for granted.11 -

How in the world is this small a** cake 4000 calories!!??! It wasnt even dense!! It was one of those airy cakes. How!?!?!?
you saw the cake and didn't think to check out the box to verify the 400 cals for a whole cake far too good to be true statement before you hoovered it up....?
riiiiiight.
There was no box.. she just said it was from whole foods
so, question to all the american pals - is wholefoods known as a low calorie health shop...?? cos all i saw in the dessert section on that website was calorie after yummy calorie of fatness....?
not really understanding how anyone can actually legit think a whole cake covered in frosting is only 400 cals?
Definitely not. Their bakery section is a delicious delicious place with lots of fat and carbs.
Yes - the pictures above make me want to visit. Haven't been to a Whole Foods in years. But just to be fair you can buy fruit/vegetables/other foods with lower caloric density - just at very high prices.
Assuming you're not buying "fancy" produce, you can actually get some really good deals there.
Whole Foods has done a lot with their prices in the past 1-2 years, especially now that they're owned by Amazon.
Yup. For basic organic produce and grass-fed meats, they are *far* cheaper than my local chains.
Ya, and their meat is better quality and taste than comparably raised meat at my local chains. Many of the 365 brand items have good prices as well.
Plus now I can order from Whole Foods from Amazon Prime and not need to take the time driving and shopping.1 -

When I was a kid, my mom wanted me to be a member of "The Clean Plate Club" and talked about "starving children in Africa", and in later years had the "Eat Right for your [Blood] Type" book - while I love her dearly, I don't take weight loss advice from her

Has the OP even responded to all this?0

So it stands to reason neither of your kids will show up starting a thread like this... short mother yes, stupid mother no.

Never know what they say behind her back.

I've decided being short is ok, since the trade-off is apparently small feet and the ability to wear cute shoes. I have tall people to fetch things for me

Fair point. I've found a person's true nature and opinions generally shine through. Not saying my kids are perfect little angels, but I'd be willing to put money on the fact they aren't disrespecting me behind my back. For one thing, they know what their father would do to them if he found out.
ETA To be clear I'm talking a complete loss of social life and electronics, and lots of time devoted to various physical tasks of our choice around the house. Nothing requiring a CPS visit.6 -
Honestly, "my stupid mom" sounds like me and my girlfriends in junior high, hanging out in one of our bedrooms and complaining about our parents. Like "My stupid mom won't let me go to the movies Friday just because I didn't clean my room like she told me. I hate her!" Which is 1. Nothing any of us would have said to anyone else ever (let alone our parents), and 2. over-the-top adolescent drama over trivia because we hadn't yet run into real adult-type issues.22

I honestly don't recall my friends ever talking about their parents that way, and I certainly didn't (but I'll admit my teenage years were a bit different due to my mom dying when I was 13).10 -
I really would have expected this thread to help with that one. Perhaps OP needs to eat a bag of pepperoni. That would have me spending the day regretting my decision, but thankful for the final outcome.5 -
I’m finally getting cake!
My half is tomorrow. So carbs. Or something like that.

I think you need *AT LEAST* two. if not three. Actually, in your case, I know of a light cake that Whole Foods makes and it is only like 400 Calories... just the right thing for pre-half-marathon

My phone is not playing nicely with a picture, but let’s just say that I’m pretty sure my glycogen is now refilled.5 -
Calling your Mother stupid makes you sound like an immature brat. Go fix your own food and be responsible for yourself for once =/9

I love cheesecake so much, but I'm always SO MAD when I order one and it's not worth the calories. The last three I've got in restaurants or stores were a sad waste of calories.collectingblues wrote: »I’m finally getting cake!

I wouldn't even go for the cake in that. That crisp sounds delicious.4
