[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np here. Doesn’t make sense bc in many other threads (and one which I started when I felt frustrated by this topic)...you will see the message that non-matching clothes / clothes they chose / and choosing how to wear their own hair = a given for some little girls.

Mine always seems to pick the ‘wrong’ clothes, no matter how many adorable outfits I buy, or how often I discard the worn items; she will choose mismatches.

And as for her hair, I take time to do it every day. And she takes it down within an hour. I STILL (waste) take time to attempt to start out nice. At the end of the day, she comes home with tangled hair. And most of the pictures taken during the school day (say, by teacher/parent during an activity) show her with down, tangly hair.

Again, when i have complained about this, or seen other moms complaining, I her answers like, “let it go / let her be in charge of how she looks” etc.

So maybe there are two camps?
One body positive, and one fiercely judgemental?

Before, I was frustrated by the body positives who wouldn’t help me improve her look. But now..I get it. I’d rather let her be, [b]than pressure her bc she doesn’t look like a princess.[/b] [/quote]

'cause there are no options between a princess and a mess.[/quote]

Aight, so what do you suggest? Something I am not currently trying? [/quote]
