[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 705326, member: 1550"] Maybe she is trying to please you. Do you get her presents she likes or fancy clothing etc that you wish she would like to wear? Or haircuts and her nails done? Not saying it's ever okay to dis a present but you do sound biased toward son and keep mentioning your daughter is adopted and obese and not like the rest of you. If you couldn't accept a child who did not share your DNA, adoption was a bad idea. Your daughter may feel very out of place among a family that is slim, likes to dress nice and go to nice places and eat kale...lol, sorry, I do eat healthy but not kale. And even though I try to eat healthy so far my grown kids dont, and big deal. Your daughter is allowed to enjoy a tasty meal that isn't healthy. Most people do. Maybe your daughter senses your disappointment in every bit of her so she acts the part. I can sense it in just your words. You seem unhappy that she isn't like the rest of you, down to her body shape and eating habits. Do you admire anything about her? I have three adopted kids. One is obese with a heart bigger than Texas. He doesn't care yet about the weigjt...maybe one day (shrug). One is very pretty, slightly overweight and sloppy. One is pretty but disinterested in her appearance. None are alike or just like me. I love them all to the moon and back and would not trade one of them. They are three amazing young adults. What they eat and dress like is up to them. Even difficult son, who is my only biologicsl child, is loved by me and is not like me. And he is s little heavy too. I am not heavy. Just some thoughts. I would be furious if I was part of a family, adopted yet, and criticized for being like I'm adopted...different. the focus on my appearance would make me never come around. I have an attitude and can sense how others feel. If i felt like i wasnt respected for myself, i may not be so nice either. [/QUOTE]
