Fat???WTF? November 14, 2006
Posted by spacemom in : Kids , trackbackLooks like the computers are behaving better.
I was informed last night, that my 4 year old, 34 lb daughter told Dr. Jay, "Daddy, I am so fat"
WTF? Seriously folks, WHAT THE F*CK? Where did she get this from? Sure, I am not thrilled with the soft rolls of my tummy, but I don’t rub it and say "mama’s gotta few pounds to lose!"
I am VERY VERY VERY careful to not make stupid body image comments around my girls. That is very important to us.
I wonder if my parents said something to her while I was gone. She is going to have body image issues being a woman in the United States. Do we really need to start it when she is 4?
Sigh…

If I had to place my bets, I’d wager some kid in her daycare said it. When I was hanging out at DD’s preschool (ages 3 - 5) I was stunned at some of the stuff coming out of these kids’ mouths. Don’t be too quick to blame the old folks.
That is kind of scary! I am not sure what I would say…
