Is she a remotely reasonable person?
Of course not. [tangent]I know very few single mothers (who have never been married) who are. Most of them feel guilty for the situation their children are in, and over-compensate by spoiling them, and later as the child gets older try to be their friend and confidante instead of their parent.[/tangent] She's of the mindset that "starving" him is cruel. She reasons that she's giving him wheat crackers and other fortified-type things, so he's not eating unhealthily, per se. She doesn't understand that it's his behavior that's unhealthy and that she won't be able to just change the pattern by someday deciding "ok, now he's old enough to know better."
