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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

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.

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

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

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.

I think her grandmother was just asking her who was flabbier. So she answered honestly. Don't make a big deal about it. Kids say the darndest things. :) But seriously, I think if your seven year old tells you to man up, you should probably man the hell up. Just sayin'.

a little love may go a long way, but remember we're talking about fatties here. some of these people here probably wear pants large enough to make a 3 ring circus tent out of.
