A mum has been branded 'cruel' for not allowing her five-year-old stepdaughter to have cake on her birthday, shockingly claiming she is "heavier" than someone her age should be.
After admitting she had suggested her stepdaughter should make a "healthier choice" by having low fat ice cream instead, the youngster's mum had accused her of "fat shaming" and demanded an apology.
The stepmum was hoping to get some advice online after posting her situation to Reddit, but fellow forum users informed her what she had done was completely wrong.
