[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my kids called me fat, I’d light them up—they need to learn fast and early not to disrespect other people’s appearances—especially a female family member.

I would not ignore it, that’s how we end up with asshole husbands feeling free to call their pregnant wives fat.[/quote]
What does that mean light them up? To you? As an immigrant I do not understand. Beat them? Scream at them? But, we don't end up with a**hole wives or women like that?! Maybe if people would stop normalizing being overweight, we wouldn't have obesity crisis![/quote]

There she is!  The lady who teaches her kids to call people FAT. [/quote]

No, she's the lady who teaches her kids to not be fat.[/quote]

Does she also teach her kids to be smart and successful by pointing at service workers and calling the stupid?  Come on.  Teaching your kid to make rude comments is not good parenting. In fact, it's a great way to ensure that your kid will be called into the principal's office.  No one likes a bully...[/quote]
Ha, ha. I am the lady that teaches her kids manners and also doesn't light them up! Common sense is lacking here today. Must be millennial pp above. Maybe you are just overweight and angry? My kids are not fat, nor are DH and I, and my kids have never called anyone fat. But, they were certainly thought about proper eating habits and I cook and now as older teens they know what is healthy and what is not. How come you didn't answer the real question? What does lighting up your kids mean??[/quote]

I'm not the one who made the "lighting up kids" comment.  I do think that there is a vast difference between teaching your kid healthy habits and making disparaging comments about fat people. Nobody wants to hear your precious little tot's opinion about their body.  If your kid is pointing to people and calling them fat, old, big boobed or whatever else, you probably need to get a handle on that.  [/quote]

I am not the "lighting kids up" poster (nor am I millennial) but this is part of teaching your children common decency. Kudos that you taught your kids healthy eating habits but you missed the point of the previous posters.  We want to raise kind children right?[/quote]

DP.  I think you missed the point about teaching our children kindness and respect by example.  We don't want our children to be a****** husbands or a******wives.  [/quote]
