[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posters are mean.

OP, your DD is normal.  My DD has a few "mom" categories:
1. Normal mom - probably what you are now.
2. Botox mom - mom who has way too much plastic surgery and big lips, dresses very nice and expensively
3. Pretty mom - thin, fit, naturally attractive
4. Doesn't care mom - the ones that let themselves go.

In her eyes I'm 3, I think.  There isn't a whole lot of thought that goes into her evaluations, do don't put too much stock in it.[/quote]

OMG.  "Normal" is not the word I would choose.  And you found a way to insult the OP AND brag about your own appearance, all in one post.  That is very UNattractive.

The fact that your daughter not only does this categorization but that you are aware of it and regard it as "normal" is a grade A example of how the cycle of women being their own worst enemies is perpetuated.

Parenting fail.  Do better PP.  Stop teaching your daughter that a woman's value is so very heavily weighted toward her appearance.  Stop teaching your daughter that women have these unnatural, unattainable standards to strive for.  Just stop being a shallow twit and raising your daughter to be a shallow twit.
