...but I probably will anyway. So, let me just give a little background really quick. SS11 (and a lot of other people) has maintained for years that he'll never gain weight. I know eventually metabolism catches up, so does DH because it happened to him, the kid who would "never gain weight." SS11 is notorious for eating a ton of crap in not a lot of time, and that's why I call him the Garbage Pail Kid in my mind.

So, I used to not worry about it that much because he was always doing stuff, but now over the last few years or so he's gotten really lazy. I've stopped saying anything about it to the adults because no one but me will do anything about it, whatever. Yesterday, DH was going to take the skids to Tae Kwon Do and then to the Broncos scrimmage game (Peyton Manning!), whilst I convalesced at home in bed with summer cold/flu feeling bad. This kid actually told DH to come back and get him just for the Broncos game. He was like, "Uh, no, this month TKD is already paid for, you're going to both or none at all." Then he had a fit because TKD is like "torture." Yes. Physical activity and discipline are torture. I told DH that SS11 could stay home with me and clean the entire house from top to bottom if he wanted, because he wasn't just going to sit around and do nothing. He went to TKD. If he doesn't like TKD anymore, fine, take him out, but he's going to find something else to do with his spare time besides sit in front of the TV for the entire day. Today, everyone was busy doing something. I was feeling a little better, so I went to the gym, did the dishes, cleaned,etc., DH and SS13 were outside working on the lawn and garden...where was SS11? Downstairs watching TV. He didn't even get dressed until like 4:00 pm and it was by force, and the most exercise he got all day was coming up the stairs to gorge himself. I noticed (since he refused to dress, which means no shirt) that he's getting love handles and also that thing of when you have just a little too much back fat (I know because I still have it a little myself...stupid back fat). So much for never gaining weight.

So, when this kid is in his 30's and his metabolism slows down, and he has no idea why he's putting on so much weight while he's eating crap and not exercising, it'll be all I can do NOT to say I told you so.
