Our only son has not been eating well lately and I noticed that he has lost weight and he needs to gain the weight back. Yeah, I know, I should be the one losing the weight, not he.
Anyway, I thought about doing a little scare tactic with him. He was once hospitalized due to a severe asthma attack and he didn’t like to be in the hospital.
I asked him if he likes to go back to the hospital if he gets sick. He looked at me and said “No.”
That solved the problem somehow and he is back to his having his normal eating portions, plus extra snacks and milk before bed.
Oh yeah, one more thing, it is very, very expensive to get sick and be hospitalized especially for those without Medicare supplement cards.
I know.
