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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my daughter apparently has had enough of my mother-in-law's favoritism and constant bashing of me by telling her, "Grandma, might I highly recommend death at this point?" She's 7. FML
Today, my 8-year-old son told me to grow a pair and man up. FML
Today, a 7-year-old girl came up to me and told me to go fuck myself. I told her to watch her language or else I'd tell her parents. Her mom happened to be nearby and actually heard the conversation; she came up to me and told me to go fuck myself as well. FML
Today, my grandfather told me that I was ugly. When my mom found out, she said that, "Old people are allowed to tell the truth." FML
Today, my seven year-old daughter called me a weirdo. When I yelled and grounded her, she cried and said she thought “weirdo” was a compliment. FML
Today, my 6-year-old daughter walked into the bathroom where I was grumbling about my weight. Seeing how upset I was, she took my hand and said, "Mom, you're not fat. You just look fat." FML
Today, my 7 year-old looked at me and stated, "When I grow up Mommy I want to be fat just like you." FML
Today, my grandmother said to me, "You look just like your mother did at your age. Except you're fatter of course." FML
Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML
Today, I told my 8 year-old daughter that she looks a lot like mommy. Now she won't come out of her room because she thinks she's ugly. FML

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.

Sometimes it's okay to hit your children.

Haha, maybe you should discipline your kid.

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.

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

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

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.
