And on not-so-skinny kids - well, it's pretty awful - funny how adolescence obscures your vision - or maybe these kids don't have full length mirrors in their houses? But we have them at school!

It took me forever to get around to growing out my bangs, though (I was well into my thirties), because she told me so often WHAT a high forehead I had. I wonder too what it is I'm doing that's like that to my kids!Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-22417253314061208622012-03-15T11:02:10.469-06:002012-03-15T11:02:10.469-06:00I have five daughters, and so far, only my fourth ...I have five daughters, and so far, only my fourth one (who is now 7) obsesses about being fat and about what she wears. And yet, when it comes to body issues, she is the one I worry about least, and who should have the least worry of them all! It's befuddling.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355108665426444606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-24131681882458157962012-03-15T09:28:46.215-06:002012-03-15T09:28:46.215-06:00've always credited my lack of body issues to ...'ve always credited my lack of body issues to the same thing. My Mom has body issues, but she just didn't say anything about it and therefore it didn't carry to me. Makes me wonder how the things I say will mess up my boy.Jen Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085493693454154168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-79882048481504204402012-03-15T09:27:36.010-06:002012-03-15T09:27:36.010-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jen Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085493693454154168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-77890474632444879252012-03-15T08:27:45.487-06:002012-03-15T08:27:45.487-06:00Does she have trouble with "pleats"?
