[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 705039, member: 1550"] I think nature. I do have things in common with my functional adopted kids but I believe it is coincidence. None of my kids share DNA and it is fascinating to see how different they all are. And my one DNA kid is less like me than the others. My three adopted kids are very close in spite different interests. Jumper is athletic, grounded and mature. Princess is emotional, creatively gifted and more needy. Sonic is sweei, a lover, and loved gaming, working and helping people. DNA son is materialistic (I am not), angry, unstable and addicted to videogames. He is brilliant and has a college level skill and pay job. Nomad, my own personal feelings about eating are that your daughters desire to lose weight needs to come from her. I think weight loss surgery requires serious psycogical services so that the doctor can determine if it is a procedure really wanted. After surgery you must not eat too much and have to work out. I also know somebody who got very sick from the procedure. It's not benign. I believe we need to stay out of our children's weight. If we don't they can develop anorexia, which can be fatal. I have overweight kids. They are young. I figure they have many years to decide to lose weight. Up to them. They know the good of losing weight but aren't ready. Nomad, kale makes me throw up...lol And some who are more vigilant than your husband may say eggs are unhealthy. Heck, talk to a vegan! I feel we all must decide on our own nutrition issues. We can't force somebody else to eat like we do. Merry Christmas! [/QUOTE]
