“It’s a Strange Family”- Shaun White’s Mother Felt Content to Realize His Son Can Eat Preferred Dish After Retirement

Mothers want what’s best for their children. But more importantly, moms desire every wish of their children fulfilled. Similarly, Shaun White’s mother had a hilarious reaction after he returned from his final Winter Games.

Eating habits can divulge a lot of information about a family. It can reveal a family’s lifestyle, but most significantly, it can indicate the relationship of the family with each other.

The snowboarder appeared on an Olympic Channel Podcast episode titled ‘Shaun White and team: The full interview from Beijing 2022’. During the podcast, White spoke about the events that transpired right after returning from his last Olympic Games.

Mother’s first words to Shaun White after he returned from Beijing Winter Olympics

When the podcast host asked the three-time Olympic medalist about his mother’s first reaction after his return from his final Olympic meet, he had an amusing incident to share concerning his mother. Reflecting on the event, White said, “She was like, ‘You are tired, come get burgers. Now you can eat these burgers.”

Although the conversation sounds hilarious at first, it only reflects the enthusiasm she felt at the prospect of her son being able to eat to his heart’s content now that he had retired as a world-class athlete.

It just goes to show the selfless love that mothers, and parents for that matter, have for their children. They want their children to lead a contented life more than what is best for them. Sensing the eccentricity of the matter, he joked, “It’s a strange family.”

The five-time Olympian burst out laughing as he spoke these words. At first, her reaction may sound a little strange, but one needs to acquaint oneself with the gravity of the situation to understand the depth of the matter.

The reason behind her hilarious reaction

It is agreed upon that the suggestion to her son is along the line of promoting unhealthy eating habits. However, one must also understand the ordeal his mother must have faced when he was still competing in international events.

In addition to following a rigorous training regimen, athletes competing in global meets must also maintain a strict diet plan. Such athletes refrain from consuming anything considered to have a lower nutritional value than the suggestion of their diet plan.

It must have been a while since White had grabbed a bite from his favorite burger joint. Furthermore, she must have felt his pain of not being able to eat as per his wish when he was competing in the international meets.
