What tragic advice. Plastic surgery? What kind of parent would propose that to a child?[/quote]

somebody with a firmer grasp of reality than you seem to have. a properly indicated nose job can tremendously improve appearance. there is nothing sacred about a nose lump or a weak chin. it's so much more effective than bullshitting all day long how things that clearly matter and are observed within seconds do not matter.[/quote]

Her child is EIGHT. And there is nothing wrong with her face. Jesus, you are vapid. I hope you’re not raising girls. [/quote]

my husband and i, both phds, are raising girls. i didn't say that OP should bring up plastic surgery now - just to keep the option open in own her mind if it's something that could help her DD as opposed to being prejudiced and forcing her to love her big nose or whatever. surgery is far from a magic bullet and is certainly in not advisable in many cases but it has helped tremendous number of people.

there is way too much denial going on here. you can't talk your way into being beautiful.[/quote]

Congratulations on wedging the completely irrelevant PhDs into your reply. Do you mention them to supermarket checkers and your garbagemen, too?

There's just no indication that ANYTHING IS WRONG with the kid's face. She's perfectly fine the way she is. Just because you evidently could not cope with your own features does not mean plastic surgery should be part of the "solution" to other people treating her as somehow lesser than her sister.

Unless you're interested in raising another Ivanka Trump, I guess.

you don’t know that “there is nothing wrong with her face”. in fact that won’t be completely clear for approximately 10 more years. which is why I said to her mom to keep that option open in her own mind when the time comes. my own features are fine and i personally wouldn’t have benefited from plastic surgery.

yes I had to throw in my PhD into the discussion to lower the odds of the thread derailing into claims that I was a thrash and duckface.

The bottom line is that we are not all equally beautiful and appearance is pretty important. not the most important thing in the world but one of the more important ones. you are doing your daughters no favor by pretending otherwise. [/quote]
