Today Dd aged 6 got called 'chub chub' by 2 boys that always play out on the street (despite that they don't actually live on this street). Dd doesn't play out alone. She was with Dp when this happened.
Dd is suspected to be on the spectrum but very high functioning. Often things go over her head. She doesn't realise when people are being horrible generally. Sometimes that's a good thing and others not just because she will be lovely to people that are mean to her at school . She's had a few issues with some of the kids in school calling her nasty things so this isn't the first time.
Anyway, she got called 'chub chub' as she walked opposite direction from these school 'friends'. The boys laughed at each other and sniggered and ran off. They are older than her also. Dp heard and told them that isn't very nice and to go home.
She is probably bigger than most of her friends. Not overweight but quite tall for her age and broad just like me. She has a bit of a protruding belly again like me but she is beautiful regardless. She very much has my body shape and I remember being teased at school and feeling self conscience.
I'm stuck between kids will be kids and plain nasty!
She's also had issues with the boys and another one who wasn't there today calling her 'dumb' and 'not talking properly' - she is speech delayed but she's a kind soul. She doesn't see the bad in anyone and sometimes I wish she did so she can stay away from them!
