So why are you, HER MOTHER, piling on with yet more body shaming? How about celebrating her choices? Keep your opinions to yourself, your daughter obviously knows them and decided to go a different way. If she's happy, you should be happy for her.

OP sounds horrible but not liking someone’s tattoo isn’t really body shaming

Posting about your disappointment about your dcs tattoo on a toxic website may not be body shaming, but it is something....

It can be a couple of things. If OP were just blowing off some smoke/venting here so that she can cool down and come back to her daughter feeling calmer, then that's a good use of the internet. If OP is here rallying support for cutting her daughter out of her life over of getting a Moo Deng tattoo, then that is a toxic use of DCUM. We don't really know which camp OP falls into here - but she did just throw a little tantrum over anyone pushing back, which suggests the latter.

We don’t know it was Moo Deng, just that it was a hippo. Not all hippos are Moo Deng, just as not all humans are you; refrain from assuming!

I just can’t understand why someone would get a tattoo of a hippo! I’ll admit it’s well-done but this is just disappointing. I’ve always said, ever since she was a little girl, that tattoos are a bad idea. She said that “she wanted to do it for a long time” and “it has nothing to do with me” but I somehow doubt that. I just am SO disappointed. Ugh. What’s a mom to do?

Everyone: I KNOW that my daughter is wonderful and amazing. I KNOW that a tattoo isn’t worth ruining our relationship over. I was just expressing my disappointment, that’s all, and everyone turned it into something it wasn’t. And for people making fun of the “vitriol” comment: yes, I have faced vitriol in this thread. I’ve been called a horrible mother, a troll, and a “miserable shrew”. My daughter has been body-shamed and faced sexism and homophobia. What would you call that? Vitriol! Jesus. Empathy is free!

I’m so sorry you were treated this way. There’s simply no excuse for some of the name-calling and nasty comments.

Maybe OP’s daughter’s next tattoo will be of the Grinch

I wonder what OP’s reaction would be if she saw this comment. Probably “oMg ThE vItRiOl!!”
