[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure how this translates into parenting advice, but as a woman now in my early 50s, I am very glad that I got the message early on not to rely on my looks. [/quote]

Yep, if you have talents and skills, you'll have a whole lot leftover to be proud of once your beauty starts to fade.  [/quote]

I’m sure your daughter will appreciate hearing, “Don’t worry honey!  At least you have skills to fall back on!”   :roll: [/quote]
DP.. but it's true and something every child needs to learn eventually. [/quote]

And so you don’t think your child can eventually figure that out on her own, without Mom or Dad having to give her a dose of reality?[/quote]
what is your problem?  Sure, my child will eventually learn pretty much most things on her own, but as a parent, I want to make sure she learns certain things from me.  It's also a way to help build their confidence early on.  I'm sorry, but you sound like a terrible parent to just dismiss this.[/quote]

DP here, but wow.  You're accusing the PP of being a "terrible parent," when it's [b]you[/b] who is dismissing the importance of telling your children they're beautiful (and smart, etc.)?  Hmm.  Might want to think about that one for a bit.[/quote]
