"enforce" is a word that is not really compatible with raising responsibile humans.

Its not your decisions you dumbass. Your child will live his own life and if you keep up your nonsense, he will cut you out of his life. Decide whats more important to you...being obsessed with fitness or having a son who doesnt hate your guts.

You already know you are an a*****e, so why are you asking us? You are a control freak who needs therapy.

He wants his son to be healthy, but the father is exhibiting multiple symptoms of untreated mental health issues. Rather than pursuing proper management of his own mental health, the father is pushing his total lack of management of his own mental health onto his son.

Control freaks sometimes wonder why their adult children tend to avoid them.

Hmm another sad man trying to compensate for a micropenis... This son would be better off without this wackos influence tbh. Nice job your son will hate your guts, and probably gain 100lbs for spite. But guess what it aint your decision.

POS!!!

Um, yes. Yes you are.

as someone who has been both "model" size (my body-type's "normal" when active and eating healthy), and borderline plus-size (due to significant injuries & the resulting lack of mobility; despite still eating healthily)... I will tell you now, with 100% conviction, that "weight" is not always an indication of attitude or life philosophy. Point of proof: this dad is a judgemental, close-minded, bigoted a**e... and physically fit (if we're to believe him).

This is just a troll, why else would they ask confirmation on Reddit of all places, pfff...

You are way beyond being the a*****e. You are a sad, pathetic, insecure and judgmental human being who should have skipped having kids altogether.

No, I don’t think you’re an a*****e. You, sir, are what comes out from of it. Your head is full of that.

Your son is 14 years old!!! He doesn't love anybody and now he doesn't love you a*****e!!!

It's important to YOU, not your son. If you truly want him to be happy, back off!

Yes. Yes you are.

Don’t you hate it when your children don’t follow the same dogmatic religion as yourself?

Dude you are a complete n*b!!! You should not be allowed to have children and teach them that body shaming is ok. Go crawl back under the rock you came from and spare the world your screwed up thinking.

A*****e. It's his heart

Yes, he has the right to pick whoever he wants.

let him date her she loves him and he loves her

What an ugly human being.

He was passively / aggressively telling you to go walk off a cliff. Maybe, just maybe she is a nice person. Certainly nicer than you

Yep - he is the a*****e and the kid is only 14! It's his first girlfriend!

Go get a desert and a beer you a hole

yes indeed you are a massive a*****e!

On this episode of Totally Made Up Crap...

you my friend are a cuck nippled d**k k**b

yessss Foxxy

you are a f*****g arsehole & freak

The fuuuu

Just cause you excercise and have a slim build does not mean you're healthy.

Holy frijoles, Batman. "I want my son to be happy, but he needs to be EXACTLY LIKE ME." Another narcissistic parent. I hope every single one of these children break contact with them the instant they leave the house.

AITA a thousand times over. You seem like a control freak, but that doesn't mean you can control the world outside your little fiefdom. Do you see everyone in the public who is overweight as someone beneath you? Do you work with overweight people? Do you respect them or do you scorn their very existence? Take a step in to the real world. Yes, it's unfortunate when people are overweight/obese, I am myself. If I had to work with you and your superior attitude, I'd tolerate you professionally, but that's about it.

Thanks, Dad for enforcing a poor body image expectation on your kid. He's obviously a better person than you. And now on top of it all, thanks for hurting that poor girl- a*****e

what does AITA mean??

Read the short-short story "Why Johnny Lingo Paid Eight Cows For A Wife". Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and love will bring out the truly beautiful in people. Go and make amends to your son.

To be fair, this was a good American Dad episode and Stan did accpet the YTA ruling when he tried to break up Steve and Debbie.

I think she means she "ended" the relationship -- teenage romances aren't easily stopped by parents, they are just driven into secrecy and pushing the kids away from the parents. My parents learned that lesson when they tried to keep my 16 year old sister away from the 18 year old carny she was dating -- when my parents forbid it, they still saw each other, but hid it. They needn't have worried, the relationship didn't last 2 months when she found him cheating on her.

There are no words for how repulsive this is. Let your son have the chance of finding love. Without your intervention.

Yes you are

control freak much? great way to completely alienate your kids

i see nothing wrong here. parent doesn't want his kid dating a land whale. i wouldn't want my kid dating one either. obesity is a choice, not an immutable condition
