[quote=Anonymous]My daughter and I went to try on prom dresses, which was going really well until she asked my opinion on one of them, and I told her honestly that it was unflattering. My intention was obviously not to make her insecure or to steer her away from the dress, but I wanted to contribute instead of just nodding and smiling the whole time. (Also, I said this before she told me her own opinion about the dress.) She got really sad and immediately took it off, suggesting we leave the store (it had been about half an hour at this point). I agreed because I didn't want to fight, but now she's refusing to talk to me about it and is giving me the cold shoulder (weirdly polite, etc). I feel terrible, but also... she needs to get over it. She knows I would never say anything to intentionally hurt her, and I think she is just trying to pick a fight for some mysterious reason. Is this something you're to supposed to tell your kids?
