You know what, I'm super sensitive right now, but I really hope you don't have kids. Because if you do, they'll learn from you and be like the ones that caused my FIVE year old to come home last night and tell me she doesn't like herself, her face or her body.

Aw, your poor baby! I hope you are able to get your DD to see that she is beautiful inside and out. Man, this world can really mess with people's minds with regards to looks. I am sorry that your daughter is having a tough time. I am sure she is adorable. Five year olds are just such a gift. I hope she gets past that negative thinking quickly. ((((jlt19)))) Hugs from another mom. (heart)
Thanks. I've been having a hard time with it b/c she's usually so positive (almost arrogant-ha!). I've been emailing back and forth with her K teacher and she's involved the counselor, so we're being pro active with it. Sounds like some other girls were saying it about themselves and my DD wanted to "fit in" so she was saying the same thing. But where were THEY getting it from, ya know?

ugh I'm so sorry. Your poor little bug
God I'm not ready for this shit.
Thanks. I'm not either. I never thought I'd have to worry about it yet.
So in greyflora's world, quoting someone's own words back to them = immature mean girl behavior and making derisive comments about someone's appearance = mature. Seems legit.
I don't "go here" on the regular either but I felt compelled to chime in and voice that what was said about Tamb (who I also "don't know) is disgusting and if ANYTHING in this thread speaks to a "middle school" mentality it was that post from that crass troll.

ugh this is so sad. I hate to think about my beautiful girls thinking there is something wrong with their appearance.
Hopefully they won't, in part because you'll do your best to teach them that they're beautiful from the inside out. They will also learn that you only make fun of others if you don't like yourself, because that's not how decent human beings interact with each other.
greyflora's mom clearly did a terrible job, as she is a terrible person.
I get the whole don't feed the trolls thing, and I'm sure greyflora is laughing her ass off at the reactions in here, but I will never understand the appeal of being a red-hot cunt (Eagles) for kicks.

Also see: "is that a self portrait?!" I think greyflora might be a middle school boy.

I see enough of that behaviour at work, I truly don't want to see it anywhere else. But such is life. Tamb - you are fabulous. Glad you aren't taking it seriously.

I'm glad your DD might just be wanting to fit in and doesn't truly believe those things about herself, but I'm with you on how sad it is that other little kids are getting these bad messages from somewhere. I hope the counselor and parents can get to the bottom of it and help change that kind of thinking in those kids.
We have an outdoor skating rink nearby and my DS (who loves to skate) hasn't wanted to go much this winter. I asked him why (while we were in the car, I can get him to tell me anything in the car, LOL) and he said it just made him feel sad that his friends weren't able to be there, too. His closest friends ride the bus home from school so they aren't available, and some of the other kids are just not really interested in skating WITH someone else. It just breaks your heart.
This parenting thing is not for the faint of heart! I am glad your DD has a mom who is so on top of her needs and heart concerns. She is lucky to have you.

I hate when people immediately jump to "she's just jealous" when a woman dislikes another woman.
But in this case, I honestly can't see any other reason why GunFlora would pick Tamb out of everyone. Especially since Tamb is gorgeous and one of the nicest posters here.
So, Gun, I'm sorry your jealousy is getting the best of you. Don't worry though, someday you might not be such a huge bitch. And when that day comes, try iVillage. Hope that helps!

Well done, madam.

And I meant feed the trolls, not feel them. (wilted)
