Thanks

April 15, 2008

Thanks to all of you who made me feel I wasn't crazy for being upset about that

Parenting article. I don't think I will be re-subscribing to that magazine! I

will send my letter and the article on to some of the groups you all suggested

also. I sent another letter to the editor with one of their other articles on

thin children. It had stated basically that children shouldn't be thin and in

order to fix it just feed them lots of dairy and meat. My letter of course

didn't make it into the magazine. Unfortunately, someone wrote to them thanking

them for that same article and that letter was published. Why don't people

understand that being thin can be due to genetics too. People can't seem to

understand that my 13 month old son, who is considered tall and thin (and also

not really registering on those charts), could possibly be due to my husband's

6'2 " thin frame or his father's 6'5 " thin frame. Nope, it must be our diet! I

can't even count how

many times I've heard " Wow he's so tiny and thin! " But, I know he's healthy

and that's what counts! Anyway, thanks again to everyone who responded.

-Dawn
