Does anyone else ever lie to doctors?
I'm not talking about lying about serious things but about the silly things that doctors make a big deal about that aren't a big deal.
Today, to avoid a lecture from my two year old daughter's doctor, I lied to her and said we were switching over to low fat milk from whole milk. She always seems shocked when I tell her that we drink whole milk because my husband, my kids and myself are all skinny (well I'm not skinny right now- I feel like a big fat cow because I'm pregnant). I swear she thinks that drinking whole milk makes people fat. Well, um no- eating lots of crappy food makes people fat. My kids are not fat because I don't feed them pop tarts and cheetos and they don't play video games for hours each day. If my kids were fat because of my parental laziness I suppose I could cut out the whole milk but really, when you are letting your kids scarf Happy Meals every day is switching to low fat milk really going to make a difference? Shouldn't doctors instead of asking what type of milk your kids drink ask you if they eat fatty, unhealthy foods?
So yeah, I lied. Whole milk rules.
