[quote=Anonymous]As a PP said, that you took it to so hard likely means you do have some insecurities. I'm sorry that happened to you. My kids have not said something like that to me but if they did, I think I would have probably told them that I am pretty in part because I don't have much insecurities about my appearance. And I would have expanded on the conversation to talk about what it means to be beautiful and also about being kind and not saying things that would offend. FWIW, my kids (elementary and middle school age) tell me often that I am the prettiest, etc. regularly. I'm pretty sure they don't think I literally am but that I am to them because I'm their mom. I also tell them how beautiful/handsome they are regularly. I was not told this growing up (grew up in the shadow of more attractive siblings) and it was not until college when I thought I could be attractive to someone. Good luck, OP![/quote]
