[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - wow this thread is way more active than I thought it would be. I clearly don’t know what qualifies as petite. FWIW I am also Asian. Most Asians I know are small in stature. [/quote] This is actually worth a lot because you’re revealing some unhealthy cultural biases that I hope you can overcome before your DD is older. The only people I know (including my own relatives ) who are obsessed with proving their daughters are small/tiny/petite are Asian. Please drop this and keep it in your head. It’s not healthy and even more unhealthy since your daughter is totally average sized when compared to children of all backgrounds. Small is not better or aspirational. It’s just a neutral state of being, so stop aspiring to proving that your DD is “petite.”[/quote]
