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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, while I was getting ready for the day, my 5-year-old daughter looked at me and said, "Mom, maybe you should do some gymnastics today. Your legs look bigger." FML
Today, my friend was complaining about how fat she was. To make her feel better I said, "Psh, you're not fat! In fact we're about the same weight!" She looked at me for a second, then burst into tears sobbing, "I'm fat! I'm fat!" FML
Today, my 6-year-old daughter barged into the bathroom while I was peeing, inspected the toilet and said, "You're well hydrated, good job." FML
Today, my patient, a chubby little girl, stood on a scale to measure her weight. She was 5 years-old and weighed 65 lbs. I started giving her advice on eating healthy: fruits, vegetables, and more greens. She turned to her mother with shocked look and said, "But mommy, the doctor is fat too!" FML
Today, my son was looking through old photos and showed me a picture of myself and asked who it was. When I told him it was me, he responded by saying "But mommy, the lady in the picture is not fat!" FML
Today, I was sitting on the couch with my 5 year-old on my lap. All of a sudden, she turned to me and said, "Daddy, I love your boobies. They're a good pillow." My own kid just called me fat. FML
Today, I tried to nicely talk to my daughter about her rapid weight gain. Having a family history of weight-related illness, I felt it was necessary. I offered to get thyroid tests, teach her to buy healthy food, and start routine exercise. She told everyone I called her a cow and had fat-shamed her. FML
Today, I was watching my 7 year-old daughter and her friend jump on our trampoline. I was really impressed by all the flips they were doing, and I told her, "Hey! I can't even do that." To that her friend replied, "Of course you can't. You're fat!" FML
Today, my seven-year-old told me to lose weight. Her reason? There's a family fun day coming up at her school and she is embarrassed. FML

GOD we wonder why our daughters have body issues from young ages! She's 6, leave her out of your insecurities so she can grow up NOT worrying about her weight like you do!

Your daughter is a lovely child, you obviously raised her to be a caring and thoughtful individual, regardless of what words she may have used the sentiment was clear. Although it is rather worrying that at such a tender age she's been exposed to body image insecurities from her biggest role model, take care to lead by example especially in matters like self esteem and body image. If you're not happy with your body then expecting your child, who learns through mimcry, to be happy with theirs is impossible. Every person has something that they don't like about themselves but it's important for your children to understand that if they have something that they don't like that they can change it, just like you could change your weight if you wanted to.

D'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwww Adorable. I don't come here the feel good feels, like it though. My kids usually call me or mum fat, we explain it's not nice but she usually responds with something like well it's true. Faultless kid logic.

I just love kids that age - they are full of love & sweetness but aren't always the best for your ego.
