My mother blames her obesity on giving birth to me. Nothing to do with the egg custards she has for breakfast or how she manages to devour a whole box of rich, posh chocolate within two days (perhaps she thinks it doesn't count if no one knows about it.. maybe that's my fault too then, because despite her trying to hide it, I know about it). Nor the meals out 4x a week, or how she has a triple portion of her 'healthy' chicken and sauce with double rice for dinner, and unnecessarily cooks the chicken with oil and butter DESPITE having the sauce to add. Nope, it's my fault, cus she gave birth to me.  You know what I hate most about American culture?  That you're supposed to be fat after having kids and god forbid you object to such an arrangement.
