I thought the same thing! "To busy with everything going on with the family" really dude?  You don't move more than a centimeter in either direction! When she went to get the Chinese food he got so excited! "FOOD!" And the cheesecake was the size of a brick! "I haven't made it back to the doctor yet cuz we've had so much going on as a family" YEAH! I suppose since it's a group effort to wipe his ass I guess that's true. She doesn't make any bones about not wanting to be there anymore and how she's stuck. What's he gonna do, chase her? I never thought about it from that perspective but yeah after gaining 158 pounds in a month I think you're right, she's trying to feed him to death, and she's doing a damn good job of it! I think she's realized she's dealing with a 45 year old toddler who,(oh shit), stomps his hooves if he doesn't get what he wants. It's just easier to give Shamu the food he wants then listen to him whine. I say good on her!
