Yes that is a terrible thing to say, and I would be questioning my marriage, but to say your daughter is forever ruined by it is over the top. She is not destined for an eating disorder or a lifetime of therapy because of a hurtful comment. Teach your teens some resilience. You have to be able to move on from hurtful words- even from those you are closest to. One comment from Dad doesn’t define her unless she lets it.
Are you a dude? "Hurtful comment"? You do not seem to understand the magnitude of these comments on girls self esteem at this delicate age. It absolutely does affect her forever. She does not need to learn resilience, her father needs to learn to shut the f*** up if he can't say anything nice. Insulting his daughter with this language is beyond inappropriate.
DP. Dad already said it. So him learning to shut the f*** up now (and I agree he should) doesn’t change anything. So actually yes, the daughter absolutely DOES need to learn resilience because that is ultimately what will help her self esteem.
It’s bizarre how many of you are acting as though one hurtful comment will absolutely ruin a girl forever, and apparently you’re teaching this attitude to your daughters.
