Man too fat to adopt (not economy)

[PRC1964]

seems fair enough to me

you have to consider at what point their health might be detrimental to the welfare of the child

Does that mean that you would take kids into care if their natural parents gain too much weight?

[bored]

They assume that a parents eating and leisure habits will be passed on to the kid....which is probably true.

I would say that a kid is better off being fat than in care though surely?

They assume that at 42 BMI there is a significant risk of the man dying in the near future - which would indeed be quite bad for the kid.

Agree, fatties should be forced to face up to the consequence of their lifestyle.

I was on a plane last year on my way to Rhodes for a holiday. Old couple sitting in the isle a few meters away from me.

Feeding time in the zoo, air stewardess stops at the old geezers seat, he says "how am i sposed to eat, i cannot get the tray down"

stewardess looks flused, then when he starts laying into her, she says its not her fault his is too big to get the tray down, he ended up eating his food off his belly!

Sums it up really, LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE DECISIONS YOU MAKE.

Too many pies? well you are not gonna be able to enjoy many thyings in life, if adoption is one of those, so be it.

lack of willpower

I think we'd probably guessed that much already.

nope!

i see what you are trying to say, but I would agree with having a "health rule" in the list of rules in order to adopt a child.
