I know you are all right. I do not want to be that kind of mom.

Felt much more able to handle myself after posting this and working on telling myself to be gentle and kind at all times with my children as much as I can. They are so young and impressionable. I do not want to screw up any of my children and want them to have a healthy and balanced relationships with food.

Today I spoke to them about manners and chewing with mouths closed. Then, I worked on doing that myself!!

We do an issue with overeating at meal times. But I'm working on looking at them lovingly, with smiles and happy expressions instead of worry and concern. I hope I can help them learn to make healthy choices without screwing them up.
