Today, my 15 year-old daughter got kicked out of her cheerleading squad because she was overweight. I heard one of the cheerleaders say, "She must be overweight because her mom is." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Kids are assholes to each other
Today, I have discovered that my daughter is struggling with anorexia. When I sat down to talk with her about it, she said it’s because, "all the other kids at school keep calling her fat." She was underweight before, and has now gone to being severely underweight. FML
Today, I told my mom I wanted to try out for the track team. Her exact words were "good luck, fatty". FML
Hush
Today, I caught my mother telling my 11-year-old daughter that if she wants to be happy in life, she needs to start exercising now, because fat can creep up on you, and rich guys never marry fat girls with nice personalities. I was fuming. FML
Today, like every other day, my daughter thinks that degrading skinny people is very "non-conformist" and "edgy". This time, though, a slightly slim girl punched her in the face when she accused her of being anorexic. Now people think I gave my daughter her new black eye. FML
Generational trauma
Today, I discovered my 17 year-old daughter has an eating disorder. When I confronted her, she confessed that she’s doing it because she wants to stay thin, so that her boyfriend doesn’t dump her like her father dumped me for not being thin enough. FML
Keeping up appearances
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
Mean Girls
Today, I tried out for cheerleading. The judges, two head cheerleaders, sized me up, burst out laughing and made fat jokes towards me. I fought back and called them, "twiggy fucking sluts." At that moment, the coach walked in and saw and reported me to the principal. The judges got off scott free. FML
Classic Mom moment
Today, I went to my parents' house. I recently lost about 30 lbs. My mom hugged me and said, "Aww, you're not my chubby baby girl anymore." She then said she wished I were still fat because she missed it. She's the reason I lost the weight; she used to tease and taunt me. Thanks Mom. FML
Nice
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
No more treats
Today, I told my kids that our family dog was getting too fat and we should give him a little less food. My youngest daughter whispered to her sister, "Mommy's fat and we still give her food." FML

if she doesnt have the stamina to do the routine (something many overweight people lack) they have every right to kick her off if she cant do the routine as well as the other girls. harsh, but true.

instead of feeling sorry for yourself how about you go console your 15 year old daughter who must be devastated.

So, where exactly in Australia is this supposed to be? Because I've lived in Australia my whole life and I've never seen a single high school with a cheerleading squad. Pretty sure that's an American thing. Just saying. :)

I also live in Australia, the only cheerleading squads I know of arnt linked to highschool, I also assume there not the typical squads like on "bring it on" also I live in Victoria, if that helps cutting down on the mysterious cheerleading squads >:)

I quite like fat cheerleaders but that's just me and I prefer them tied and in my trunk. Contact me if interested....

The trunk used to be the best place, before the newer models included that damn escape latch!

I've solved that problem, I just drive in curves to confuse the captive.

why do you care more about the cheerleaders saying she's probably fat cause her ma, than worrying about your own daughter's self esteem?

A lawsuit because your kid got kicked off the cheer leading team? Something about that makes me think that legal action would be more trouble than its worth.
