Dulcemio:One of my coworkers told me that her 5 year old daughter doesn't want to play with little girls who are fat or "not pretty." I was stunned. She said she told.her daughter why that's not nice, and " how would you feel ..." etc, etc, but the tyke was unmoved.
Two things I wanted.to say but didn't:
One, I wouldn't repeat that to a lot of people if I were you, because your parenting and your character will be judged, deservedly or not. (I almost said this.)
And two, your daughter was an extremely cute baby and toddler, but based on the trajectory so far, will not likely be a total beauty by the time she gets to junior high and her perspective will be changed for her. (I could never say this, of course.)
But, WTH, how does a 5 year old learn to think like this? I've known my share of brats, but my god, this little girl is kind of a bitch!
I don't know about this girl's upbringing, but sometimes kids just don't have a filter about what they're saying. When I was little, I told my then teenage sister that her thighs were the size of turkeys. Nowadays, I would NEVER say something like that, plus I'm bigger by at least 50 pounds and taller than her. But I agree, if I were that parent I wouldn't have repeated that story to my coworker.
