You need to tell her.

I see large weight gains as if something is going wrong in their life. What is causing the weight gain?

No, it doesn't. With buying a house full of junk food comes a house full of junk food. Don't blame it on the kids. They don't do the grocery shopping.

40 pounds over 8 years?
A sedentary lifestyle and an American diet is most likely the cause.
