Because what’s now called Class III obesity carries serious health risks, your son has good reason to pursue the effective treatments that have become widely available. You, in turn, have good reason to urge him to do so. And no doubt you already have. I imagine that’s why your husband has concluded that your son won’t do what’s necessary to secure a healthier life without pressure. But not only does your husband’s plan treat your son like a child, it also may not be effective in the long run. After all, once the deed is in his name, your son can simply discontinue the program.
So consider another gift, the kind where the condition is intrinsic to what’s being given: Offer to defray the costs of his treatment. You have the means, and this way you’d be giving him something without saying anything about how much you trust his judgment. He may still decline. If he does, you’ll need to make your peace with the fact that it’s his body and his life.
The response is also ROUGH AS HELL. This is just 2026’s update of “I’ll pay for your gym membership” or “I’ll pay for your weight loss surgery.”
It isn’t help. It’s humiliation.

I finally read The Shining by @stephenking.bsky.social It healed the wounds the movie inflicted. We mostly chat about the film but point out some key differences between them. I also wrote a silly little poem for the intro. Grab some cocoa and take a listen ☕🪓 #MutantFam GOREpodcast.com

The NYT is being disingenuous here. The AMA has *always* said that gender-affirming surgeries should generally be reserved for adults. That's part of why so few kids get them!
The AMA reiterated this position and the NYT is characterizing it as a policy change. It's not.

Never felt so inspired or seen as a woman horror lover and content creator. A phenomenal assortment of fantastic Women In Horror speaking truth. And speaking in a language that everyone can enjoy but women are fluent in. Hope they make more of these! 🖤#1000WomenInHorror

Apologies for my intro rap but still less offensive than some of the topics broached in this movie. Nevertheless, I always love #WarwickDavis and #Ice-T ❤️

Hearing that the new Buffy has been cancelled is kinda sad. Was excited to see what Chloe Zhao and Sarah Michelle Geller could do together. Not enough woman helmed movies and shows out there. Support women and nonbinary creators! #HorrorSky

The positivity in this is infectious. It’s a great reminder, change isn’t always bad. It’s all in how you look at it. Gives us Mutants hope for what comes next. More adventures together w/ @therealjoebob123.bsky.social and @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social ❤️ #MutantFam #TheLastDriveIn

I just wrote whole post and then saved it to drafts. I had to come here to tell you all since it will likely sit my drafts for its entire lifetime. The ghost of that post lives here and will haunt all who need to know its contents forevermore 👻

I adore Heart Eyes! A genuine romantic comedy slasher that showcases all the loveable aspects of each genre. @joshruben.bsky.social has created my newest favourite horror villian! 😍 #MutantFam
