Fat parents My ham planet sister and brother in law told me their kids needed a run around so they were going to take them to Mc Donald's. Sure they have a little play area there but the boy is 9. The space is too small for him to have a proper run around.  I was at the Mc D's with them a few weeks ago and their boy wanted to play rather than eat. They made him take his burger into the play area with him. Despite it being clearly posted it's against the rules. I felt sorry for the little boy. He fought being a fatty for as long as he could but now he's starting to chub up.  Eta - this seems to be bumming people out a bit. Which is understandable. If it makes it any easier -  and yes I'm an asshole - but the kid is probably one of the most annoying little kids I have ever met. For example, this Christmas his parents asked me to get him a $120 Wars toy. That is a lot of money for me but it is what he wanted and he loves Star Wars. I had checked with his parents it was definetly the right one. He didn't say thank you when he opened it. I though ok it's Christmas, he's excited. About a week later I asked him about it. He said he already had that one and anyway he'd broken it already.  Come to think of it that's probably a result of shitty parenting  as well. Poor little bastard.
