Man or woman?

Today, I overheard my daughter compliment my mother by saying "My mom is way flabbier than you, Grandma." When I told her later that she hurt my feelings, she told me to "man up." She's seven. FML

Your daughter is awesome and you should give her somethin' sweet for saying that.

#3 - On 03/02/2009 at 7:04am by sonofskam

I agree, you need to man up. lol.

#4 - On 03/02/2009 at 7:16am by NorfolkDude

haha WOW...i'm sorry

but maybe if a kid that doesnt even realize what their saying, is saying that maybe their right? i know my mom would rather know the truth over what she'd like to think....haha though i'd never say to my own mom.....mom your 3 times my size...over 300 freakin pounds...loose some weight b*tch but yeah haha cant xD

point is...yeahs...sorry and it could be worse...atleast shes little. its worse when a teenager says it cause then its not just said to say it.

#5 - On 03/02/2009 at 7:42am by Melody

Yea, man-up babe!

#6 - On 03/02/2009 at 7:57am by Poky

Greatest 7-yr-old EVER.

#7 - On 03/02/2009 at 8:53am by arms_akimbo

haha yahhh. this 7yr old PWNS!

#64 - On 01/27/2010 at 8:36am by gtdoll

You raised her.

#8 - On 03/02/2009 at 9:33am by potatopeeler

The problem is that you took offense at what your daughter said. Kids say things like that, and when they say them, they're usually true. What were you trying to do, give your daughter a guilt-trip? It obviously didn't work.

#9 - On 03/02/2009 at 10:01am by Goose

At that age its cute.
Just work on conscientiousness, tact, and sensitivity.

#10 - On 03/02/2009 at 10:06am by Katatonik

lol, kids these days

#11 - On 03/02/2009 at 10:10am by skitz

I actually laughed out loud at this one. Greatest kid ever.

Sorry for you, though.

#12 - On 03/02/2009 at 10:24am by uh_oh

if she said that, it was probably for a reason..i mean kids say stuff like that..but if u have a problem with it then tell her! you are her mother..

#13 - On 03/02/2009 at 10:48am by secret

I want my daughter to be like that..."man up!" I love it...

#14 - On 03/02/2009 at 11:10am by HappyDance

maybe teach her some manners ?

control your kids !

#15 - On 03/02/2009 at 11:51am by whattheeff

Funny how your problem is that it hurt your feelings -- you never said her statement was false. So if it was true, just laugh about it. Also, try Weight Watchers. I lost 40 lbs. Not kidding.

#16 - On 03/02/2009 at 12:03pm by YerPal

That's what happens when they are raised by the TV.

#17 - On 03/02/2009 at 12:32pm by CaptainCasual

It really is a shame that society punishes honesty like this.

#19 - On 03/02/2009 at 12:53pm by KingAwesome

what I think is really sad is that small children are already so overly conscious of weight, not only in themselves but in adults, and they are already judging others, based on weight. Some of the comments above, supposedly made by "adults," reflect extreme prejudice against weights they find unacceptable. Whatever has happened with having compassion for your fellow man. Why is it so much easier to be insulting. I wish parents would stop having weight fights and calling each other weighty names and calling others weighty names where their children can imitate them. BTW that's not limited to "weight." leave your prejudices at the door and love your fellow man. a little love goes a long way.

#20 - On 03/02/2009 at 12:59pm by MeredithD1

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA #8
thats really misfortunate tho..

#22 - On 03/02/2009 at 2:29pm by sunny

DISCIPLINE.

19-its not just about the honesty, its about the inability for the child to feel remorse for saying hurtful things.

#23 - On 03/02/2009 at 3:38pm by whitey

Well actually #23, the little girl didn't say anything hurtful to her mom, it's her mom that listened to a conversation she wasn't in and who brought it up later. The girl might never have said that to her mother's face.

But when her mother told her she was hurt, the girl's reaction says "well, it's true, I'm not going to lie to please you." I say, GO KID! :P

#24 - On 03/02/2009 at 4:00pm by Aquamarine

#18 - what the hell is your problem, did a fat person eat your parents or something? your entire comment may as well read 'a bloo bloo bloo i am a whiny manchild ARGH FAT PEOPLE'

#25 - On 03/02/2009 at 4:15pm by ednafoyer

Your daughter is hilarious. and if you're flabby, you're flabby! its not a matter of opinion, its a matter of physics.

#26 - On 03/02/2009 at 4:57pm by cwid

Had I been that disrespectful to my mother, I would have gotten a bitchslap across my mouth. Maybe you should teach your kid some manners instead of spending your time kvetching, hey?

#27 - On 03/02/2009 at 6:41pm by meaganwas

That's one clever 7 year old. :) You got yourself a keeper!

#28 - On 03/02/2009 at 6:45pm by 0___0

When a 7 year old girl tells you to man up, that's a serious problem.

#29 - On 03/02/2009 at 8:11pm by notfromearth7

Kids say the darndest things...sounds like you should just take her out for some ice cream tubby and laugh about the whole situation.

#30 - On 03/02/2009 at 9:18pm by saintice23

If I had ever said that to my mom...she would have beaten the shit out of me.

And I'm not afraid to say that I'd do the same. Kid's gotta show some respect.

#31 - On 03/02/2009 at 10:22pm by Brozain

Ha... your daughter would regret saying that if it had any serious thing to do with me or some other people. Friggin kids and their "manners" today...

#32 - On 03/03/2009 at 2:56am by Malicious

say that your that flabby from having her, and say she was fat as a kid

#33 - On 03/03/2009 at 5:24am by Assassin4than

I agree with #3. You should learn to appreciate your kids honesty.

#34 - On 03/03/2009 at 5:30am by Vincere

That daughter is awesome. Man up indeed

#35 - On 03/03/2009 at 2:14pm by TheGuyNextDoor

Either get over it or lose some weight. The 7 year old is by no means in the wrong here.

#36 - On 03/03/2009 at 6:23pm by mcnordan

That is Simply, AMAZING! XD

#37 - On 03/03/2009 at 6:36pm by KawaiiRoxas

this made me laugh for 20-some seconds straight
kudos

#38 - On 03/04/2009 at 12:16am by sethupia

Haha that is fantastic!!

#39 - On 03/04/2009 at 12:54am by Lila

hahaha thats funny she said that i love how kids say what ever they think or feel on their mind, not judging of course like that long comment up there i could not finish reading ha!!!!!!!!! dont take it personal though!

#40 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:59pm by rachelforgot2

Maybe you should man up and get to the gym.
Christ, even your 7 year old daughter knows you're fat.

#41 - On 03/04/2009 at 7:17pm by Bunbu

I agree with #25

#42 - On 03/06/2009 at 10:00pm by Daysgoby

Sometimes it's okay to hit your children.

#43 - On 03/07/2009 at 12:33pm by hawrnball

Your daughter rules.

#44 - On 03/08/2009 at 5:31pm by Sgt_Schadenfreud

Haha, maybe you should discipline your kid.

#45 - On 03/12/2009 at 11:03pm by Adyst

Time to work off that flab, wouldn't you say? Kids at that age tend to be brutally honest because they haven't yet learned social graces. If being reminded of your flab bothers you, then get rid of it.

#46 - On 03/13/2009 at 3:24pm by serenitylater

20- um.... jesus.... overreaction much... it's only in the western world weight standards are inforced so don't generalize like that. i'm a kid, not skinny and perfectly happy with all my love handles. we like girls healthy where i'm from :P

#47 - On 03/14/2009 at 3:31am by harrowin

LMAO!

#48 - On 03/17/2009 at 12:47am by girlieD86

That is pretty funny. Kids don't realize what they are saying sometimes. :)

#49 - On 03/22/2009 at 1:55pm by SFemily

Shouldn't you have taught her better? I hope you punished her

#50 - On 03/22/2009 at 5:28pm by stfuchivonne

Wow, your kid really needs to learn to respect her parents. :/

#51 - On 03/22/2009 at 6:20pm by xlunabella

I like that your kid is honest. She didn't say it to be mean or rude she just said what she thinks. The same thing happened with my younger brother who was about 3 when i was in my first year of college. He was visiting me and my roommates and we were trying to teach him the names of my 4 roommates, and when I asked him "and which one is Susan"? He pointed to her and said "The fat one". I felt terrible for her but it's true, lol.

Kids lack tact, but it's only mean if you're used to people coddling and lying to you.

#52 - On 03/25/2009 at 3:30pm by intensify

Jeez, man up for God's sake.

#53 - On 03/31/2009 at 7:42am by earwig12

hahaha man up, what a little pisser, i'd be proud. that girl is going to OWN every guy when she's older.

#54 - On 04/03/2009 at 9:57pm by livelovemusic

props for the daughter u should man up she was trying to make her grandma feel better

#55 - On 04/23/2009 at 2:28am by jon_cohen

To bad next time she's crying you can't just say man up.

You can't win with kids.

#56 - On 05/04/2009 at 5:06am by 24788

haha wow thats sooo funny but sad but still really really funny and i agree with 56

#57 - On 05/10/2009 at 4:53pm by muffy_da_bear

Kids have a thing by jugding their parents =S

They speak honestly, so..

Its your fault if you are flabby

#58 - On 05/12/2009 at 5:01pm by FlatBaby

i agree with your child, i think you should man up. Either take the comment and stop whining, or let the child know who's boss.

p.s. your child is a legend, lol

#59 - On 05/13/2009 at 7:25pm by dmipotc

Well, maybe you need to listen to your child and actually man up.

#60 - On 05/25/2009 at 1:47pm by somethingawesome

I hate ur kid, but she got style.

#61 - On 06/04/2009 at 9:53pm by love4all4

LMAO!! Best kid ever! Way to raise 'em mom!!

#62 - On 10/08/2009 at 2:09am by bball1031boy

that's one true die hard FML lol

#65 - On 02/03/2010 at 2:56am by Varatex

Looks like the ever so popular parenting FAIL. Maybe if you disciplined her properly she wouldn't be so disrespectful. Amazing what kids get away with now. YDI
