Seriously! It was just one horrible lesson after another. I mean the biggest probably just being the whole "fun parent Vs. strict parent" thing. Might be an exception to the norm. But from the tone I got the impression that it's just his normal parenting style. Given the mom's obesity I probably shouldn't be too annoyed by it. But still.  But on top of that he's really driving home the whole emotional eating thing. With sugar being held up as this amazing and wonderful thing that you should go out of your way for. Which is fine when 100% of the food comes from the parents. But isn't when he's moved out and has the option to live on three meals a day of cake.
