I Hope They Rot In Hell - Tumblr Posts
I never knew this problem was this bad. Hell I knew my doctor kept telling my mother that I was too fat or weighed more than I should, and that led to my eating disorders. Of course I know now that I was perfectly fine back then and it was the fact that I had a body type that some women would kill for, huge boobs and butt, I developed early so for my whole teenage years I was fat and over weight according to my doctor because unlike most girls my age, I had an hourglass figure instead of being the half starved figure I would see in most of the girls around me.
Anyway I had no idea that this went as far as babies and doctors killing/ almost killing people.
I work at a daycare with infants.
One of our baby girls is fat, in the 99th percentile for her age. She is super cute and sweet. Lately, she has been sick with various breathing issues, so she has been reluctant to take her bottles. Normally, she’ll take 4 ounces of formula at lunch and 8 ounces in the afternoon. Today, I was lucky to get to her take 5 all day.
There was a substitute covering a lunch break in my classroom today. We emphasized to her that we need to keep trying to get the baby to drink her bottle until she finished it. She said, “Why are you guys so worried about taking her bottle?”
My coworker replied, “That’s where all her nutrients are. She needs the nutrients and the water.”
To which the substitute replied, “But she’s so fat. She doesn’t need it.”
Thin privilege is a small, pretty baby getting better childcare because the caretaker doesn’t think she’s too fat to be allowed to eat.
