My son goes to bed around 7PM. Afterwards I turn on the TV. Grab my snacks and watch my 600lb life. I'm currently bingeing it. My son came out from bed and saw it on tv and asked about it. I paused it and explained how it is a show about people who are sick and trying to get healthier. Fast forward to today. I'm taking my son to the doctor. He goes to a "family medicine" and not a pediatrics office. So all ages are there. A lady walks in and is checking in. She is very overweight. My son goes "Is she here from my 600lb life?" Once. I tried to cover his mouth with my hand. So then he goes louder "IS SHE THE GIRL FROM MY 600LB LIFE?" The lady didnt acknowledge what he said and ignored it. I know she heard it and I feel absolutley terrible. I honestly didnt know what to say in the moment. So I just said "no. That's not very nice." After the appointment I had a good talk with him about not making comments about how people look. I also told him how words can hurt people's feelings. And that if someone is on TV there will be cameras around lol. I feel absolutley awful for the lady. I wanted to apologize on behalf of my son. I felt that might make it worse for her. I really hope it didnt ruin her day.
TLDR: son saw me watch my 600lb life. Asked me in front of obese lady if she was on the show. She heard
