I've just been fat shamed by a 4 year old

[Mooey89]

'Why do mummies have to have such huge massive fat tummies?'

Along with helpful cunt exMIL this morning chirpily 'I am a bit worried about how much you want another baby, are you sure you aren't too fat to conceive now?'

Luckily last week I had an epiphany and I have been back to my diet 100% this week, but I do have 4 stone to lose.

Please can you cheer me up with similar tales of child honesty???

I'm just focusing on the time aged 6 that I told DM that she smelt like wet dog... 🙈

Aww 😍 at baby stripes Wassock that's so lovely

When my son was three, we went in the local shopping centre when a man in a wheelchair went past.
"Look at dat man on his tractor! You've got your own tractor!!" :/

I have always been very self conscious of my rather broad wrestler arms. In my 20s I had gained rather a lot of weight, but managed to lose it after a time and was wearing a rather svelte size 10 dress. The neighbours kid was peering at me over the fence as I sunned myself proudly one afternoon and announced emphatically, "You have fat arms."

There is a tale of my going into a public loo as my very pregnant friend and her 3 year old went into the cubicle next door, and the 3 year old loudly pondering that I must also be pregnant as I needed a wee like her mummy and also had VERY FAT TUMMY.

The person in the 3rd cubicle burst into hysterical laughter.

I've told my daughter (6) that she should never call anyone fat, make fun or tease anyone for anything about how they look and I know that she wouldn't.

But she did say, I've been meaning to ask you mum why your front teeth are crossed?

My son (about 4 at the time) used to mispronounce flags as 'slags'. We were driving through town one day with the windows wound down when he shouted out excitedly "Mummy look at those slags!" just as we drove past two teenage girls(who happened to be walking past a house with 2 England flags on it) 😂😂

*Christ, someone proudly told a 'funny' anecdote about their child calling a black person a gorilla? And someone else said the child is just being truthful?

Wow. Your kid says something like that, you put a stop to it there and then. Permanently.*

Yes this. Also it's pretty unbelievable that they would just come out with this. I don't live in a particularly ethnically diverse area but my kid would have seen enough non-white people around and on TV etc for it to be unremarkable. I can't imagine her ever mistaking a human for an animal and would be swiftly put straight if she did.

are you really wearing that mummy it's a little bit not nice isn't it?

This reminds me of 7-year-old DD's attempts to be diplomatic when I was trying on clothes recently. "Well, do you like it Mummy? That's all that matters" and (in condescending voice) "if you like it, you keep it..."

Also, I went a couple of shades lighter from (natural) dark blonde to mid-blonde earlier this year. DS and DD were both polite but obviously mortified when I picked them up from school. DD later warmed to it a bit, because it reminded her of our much-loved but now dead cat. Which was ginger. I went back for a toner the next day!

I agree oyster babe, I live in an all white area and no child of mine ever came out with that comment. Once we got on a bus and the driver was black and my 3 year old said (to me) HOW long was he on holiday for? but I don't believe any child would compare a black person with a gorilla if they hadn't been exposed to somebody else's racism.

lol at "well do you like it Mummy?" ha ha!

My dd used to be diplomatic, but now she is a teenager she just shoots from the hip, and ouch

In the queue for the changing rooms at H&M surrounded by lots of hip & trendy yoovs

4 yr old DS: "I don't want to go in the changing room with you mummy!"

ME: "We'll I'm afraid you have to as there's nobody else to look after you"

DS: "But there's not enough room for both of us!"

Me: "Of course there is. You're only little, there's plenty of room"

DS: "I know I'm little, but you have a massive bum! I'll be all squashed up in there!"

Cue the mass sniggering and giggling of the aforementioned hoard of hip & trendy yoovs with their enviable small bums

"You're not fat mummy, it just looks like you have your bottom at the front" DD aged 5 commenting on my fat stomach.
