I love my grandma so much, but I get very annoyed with her compulsion to feed animals until they are about to explode. I think some parents are like that with their children. It's like the second their child whines about being hungry, they worry they are going to starve to death. |
Some ppl just can't see their animals or children asking for food even once. My bf's parents feed their dog everything they eat. They give him a full plate size of human food, so much that he leaves some left. He is a yr old and already fat. But he has a lot of hair so maybe he looks fatter. Dogs will ask for food right after you feed them. They are dogs, they will keep taking as much food as you give. Some ppl don't understand that and over feed. I just tell them if they're not sure, do their research.
