User @EubanksLIndsey added, “He tried a game to get out of eating, in didn’t work so he back talked several times. Did they snack him? No. Did he even put a hand on him? No. This is why kids in classrooms [nowadays] run all over teachers, and teachers/authority figures have lost complete control of minors!”
But Jenelle also retweeted another fans’ experience that was much different. User @JADRunyan wrote, “My daughter (11) has an eating disorder… Was hospitalized for it for three months this year.. She did this frequently (going to the bathroom) to use eating disorder behaviors. Good for you for catching on and not allowing him to go. I say ALL the time she isn’t allowed to go.”
Obviously, fans were shocked that Jenelle would imply her situation is similar to this mother’s.

“I highly HIGHLY doubt a 3 year old has an eating disorder,” wrote @MrsCannasutra. “Yeah great comparison. The preteen who’s been toilet trained for years (hopefully) to the toddler who is just getting out of diapers. She did the right thing, don’t want Kaiser purging the dinner he hasn’t eaten yet ” wrote @Youretheworst2.
User @kaylene_hawkins agreed, “He’s a freaking 3 year old, this is a time to teach, encourage and nurture him and let him express himself and find out just who Kaiser is as a human. Not force him to eat or threaten him if he has an accident. This is such an important age to listen and learn who your child is.”
Fans on reddit were similarly amazed.
