It has been bothering more and more that the first thing anyone ever does with my 3 y/o duaghter is compliment her appearance or clothes. I mean, I know she is adorable, but I feel she is so much more aware of this crap now. She'll put on a necklace and say it makes her pretty. DH and I are pretty careful to compliment how smart she is, or how well she did something, and avoid complimenting appearance. I'm afraid she is going to have issues when she is older if this stuff is already happening now.
Are we talking strangers here? Cause how is a stranger supposed to know how smart your kid is?
i wish i could be joking but my dad is the music teacher at a church so he owuld be mad. we had sex, all the time how bad i know but we dont want to wait and he said GREAT OH KAY! and I was really feeling the wets? down there- too embarsed to say- but he acted like man.

I get strangers saying it, but I'm more worried about family and friends saying it.
And Dixee, I always tell her something looks awesome....I am a child of the 80's.
My childs morning naps 9 times outof 10 are on his playmat. one minute he is playing away, the next minute FAST asleep. Do I think I should move him to his crib? Yes, but during that time he will usually wake up and scream bloody murder to the point that he nixes his morning nap and is miserable for the remainder of the day.
I despise my husbands mom and brother. His mother slapped him on our wedding day and his brother punched him in the jaw. Then his mother proceeded to yell profanities toward both of us. Yep, his mom and brother were drunk. When people talk about our wedding, they always bring up his family and how a brawl almost broke out. At. Our. Wedding. Thats how I get to remember the "best" day of our lives. And now they pretend that nothing happened. Pathetic. His brother is also a "recovering" drug addict who likes to cheat on his wife and continue to do drugs. He thinks we know nothing not realizing we know everything. His brother also continually asks for money from us. Ha. No. I hate you.
What else.... Sometimes I feel superior over others because I am Canadian and have Elton John on our bills. Speaking of money, we are in the process of changing our money into plastic bills and I see nothing but troubles with the plastic bills. And Im not kidding when I say sometimes I feel superior because Im Canadian.
I really like this board. But I also think that there are a lot of people with low low low self esteem on this board dying for a compliment any moment they can get. I also find it funny how touchy people get. It is the internet.
I really want to make it past newbie status, but I tend not to post unless I have something to contribute or say. Not just adding a picture or a GIF or a "wow, I agree" just to get my numbers up.
And once again, sometimes I feel superior over others because I am Canadian.

This. And FTR I totally called that this is where this post would go about 10 posts back. I totally understand the sentiment here of not wanting your child to only think she is pretty and not "worth" anything else. But, come on...
Mine and DHs issues have been magnified by him working out of town and I know I can raise my girls on my own now, so it's really not a great situation to be in. I am really starting to get down on myself for not getting to know him more thoroughly before we married.
Please don't be hard on yourself. You don't know that you c/would have done anything differently even if you had. I know this must be a horrible feeling, but you have to trust you've made the right choices and have done the best you could. Those girls are so lucky to have such an amazing mom. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. ((hugs))

And really, until recently, I was guilty of it too. She's at an age now where she picks up on SO MUCH that it has started to bug me a bit. I mean, I'm not staying up nights with my worry beads, but ya know, I think about it. And I'm all good if her grandma tells her she the cutest thing in the world followed by being super impressed that she knows the letter A or something. I think it's just a balance that isn't there with a lot of people around us.

1. Idon't understand why the Internet is so much different than real life. Just because someone likes a compliment doesn't mean they have low self esteem
2. I've picked up on that from you. Like a lot.

I think that if I met MikeHoncho IRL we would be the best of friends you snazzy snazzy woman you. And I was waiting for your GIF. You are the Queen of GIF's.
I never make anyone feel bad when they are giving an intended compliment. But, I do try to be subliminal with my messages contained in my non-snarky responses.
I don't think I can change the whole world. But, maybe someone who is reading this right now will tell their friend that their daughter is "so cool" (personality based compliment) instead of "so pretty" (appearence based compliment) because I brought it up here.
Those little tiny things mean so much (on both sides of the coin). Think about it. Someone here mentioned how now, as an adult, they can't fart in front of anyone ever now beause someone made fun of them for accidentally farting as a child. One incident that lasted a second affected that person for life. And now, they might explode from gas.

Maybe it's just your general superiority that makes you feel everyone here has such low self-esteem? I mean, 90% of us are probably in the USA afterall.

I know she is pretty right now. We will see how the smart thing works out and if the pretty thing sticks.
I don't want people telling her she is smart when she isn't. That is a different sort of trouble.

Theres a difference between liking a compliment and digging for compliments. Thats what Im saying. Everyone deserves a compliment. But those who continually dig for them are the ones I roll my eyes at. Thats all. And it is not necessarily on JUST this board. On so many boards that I bomb through. But then again, there are days I will make a post practically begging for a compliment. So yes, I do also like to call the kettle black.

I could get down on this idea, but it is just like IRL--some people flucking suck. Some don't. Others are the arnold palmer of suck- half suck and half delicious lemonaid.

This is more an Uo, but letting your dog clean up a baby's spit up is disgusting. That is vomit. Next time you throw up, let your dog eat it too so as not to waste the food :-/
My fffc, ss spilled a whole glass of milk on the floor and I told him to let the dog in to clean it up (dh flipped his shitz and didn't allow it, but I most definitely will again in the future if he isn't there)
Yeah, I think it is pretty gross, that is why I put it on here.

I think it's ridiculous for a woman to get pregnant just a few months after giving birth. If you aren't using protections or birth control properly, don't act all surprised.
This!
I would feel bad for P if I got pregnant right now.
I would feel bad for EVERYONE if I got pregnant now. I was not a jolly fat person.
As a side note, I think a mad baker swiped my iPad in the night. Every time I try to type "I" it autocorrects to " PIE" in capitol letters and everything.
Re: Are you ready for this? FFFC
Are we talking strangers here? Cause how is a stranger supposed to know how smart your kid is?
HA! That shade looks great on you
I get strangers saying it, but I'm more worried about family and friends saying it.
And Dixee, I always tell her something looks awesome....I am a child of the 80's.
My childs morning naps 9 times outof 10 are on his playmat. one minute he is playing away, the next minute FAST asleep. Do I think I should move him to his crib? Yes, but during that time he will usually wake up and scream bloody murder to the point that he nixes his morning nap and is miserable for the remainder of the day.
I despise my husbands mom and brother. His mother slapped him on our wedding day and his brother punched him in the jaw. Then his mother proceeded to yell profanities toward both of us. Yep, his mom and brother were drunk. When people talk about our wedding, they always bring up his family and how a brawl almost broke out. At. Our. Wedding. Thats how I get to remember the "best" day of our lives. And now they pretend that nothing happened. Pathetic. His brother is also a "recovering" drug addict who likes to cheat on his wife and continue to do drugs. He thinks we know nothing not realizing we know everything. His brother also continually asks for money from us. Ha. No. I hate you.
What else.... Sometimes I feel superior over others because I am Canadian and have Elton John on our bills. Speaking of money, we are in the process of changing our money into plastic bills and I see nothing but troubles with the plastic bills. And Im not kidding when I say sometimes I feel superior because Im Canadian.
I really like this board. But I also think that there are a lot of people with low low low self esteem on this board dying for a compliment any moment they can get. I also find it funny how touchy people get. It is the internet.
I really want to make it past newbie status, but I tend not to post unless I have something to contribute or say. Not just adding a picture or a GIF or a "wow, I agree" just to get my numbers up.
And once again, sometimes I feel superior over others because I am Canadian.
This. And FTR I totally called that this is where this post would go about 10 posts back. I totally understand the sentiment here of not wanting your child to only think she is pretty and not "worth" anything else. But, come on...
Please don't be hard on yourself. You don't know that you c/would have done anything differently even if you had. I know this must be a horrible feeling, but you have to trust you've made the right choices and have done the best you could. Those girls are so lucky to have such an amazing mom. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. ((hugs))
Ok cause I was like what the what??
And really, until recently, I was guilty of it too. She's at an age now where she picks up on SO MUCH that it has started to bug me a bit. I mean, I'm not staying up nights with my worry beads, but ya know, I think about it. And I'm all good if her grandma tells her she the cutest thing in the world followed by being super impressed that she knows the letter A or something. I think it's just a balance that isn't there with a lot of people around us.
1. Idon't understand why the Internet is so much different than real life. Just because someone likes a compliment doesn't mean they have low self esteem
2. I've picked up on that from you. Like a lot.
I think that if I met MikeHoncho IRL we would be the best of friends you snazzy snazzy woman you. And I was waiting for your GIF. You are the Queen of GIF's.
I never make anyone feel bad when they are giving an intended compliment. But, I do try to be subliminal with my messages contained in my non-snarky responses.
I don't think I can change the whole world. But, maybe someone who is reading this right now will tell their friend that their daughter is "so cool" (personality based compliment) instead of "so pretty" (appearence based compliment) because I brought it up here.
Those little tiny things mean so much (on both sides of the coin). Think about it. Someone here mentioned how now, as an adult, they can't fart in front of anyone ever now beause someone made fun of them for accidentally farting as a child. One incident that lasted a second affected that person for life. And now, they might explode from gas.
Also, WOW. If we were on jeopardy I would say, "What are, things that make you look like an a$$hole?"
And I heard you love gifs so..
Maybe it's just your general superiority that makes you feel everyone here has such low self-esteem? I mean, 90% of us are probably in the USA afterall.
I know she is pretty right now. We will see how the smart thing works out and if the pretty thing sticks.
I don't want people telling her she is smart when she isn't. That is a different sort of trouble.
(No matter what, she is perfect to me though).
USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!
Theres a difference between liking a compliment and digging for compliments. Thats what Im saying. Everyone deserves a compliment. But those who continually dig for them are the ones I roll my eyes at. Thats all. And it is not necessarily on JUST this board. On so many boards that I bomb through. But then again, there are days I will make a post practically begging for a compliment. So yes, I do also like to call the kettle black.
I love Urkel. That Laura was such a shallow hose beast.
Our men's gymnastics team is hotter than yours.
'merica
I love Urkel. That Laura was such a shallow hose beast.
I was going to say this post made me really to get an American superiority tude!
I could get down on this idea, but it is just like IRL--some people flucking suck. Some don't. Others are the arnold palmer of suck- half suck and half delicious lemonaid.
Also, I got the "we could be great friends IRL" vibe from you as well. That is what I love about this board
It definitely could be my general superiority that makes me feel EVERYONE here has such low self esteem. Everyone here doesnt have low self esteem, I was just saying some. There are some days where I have low self esteem.
I think shows like Family Matters (and Step by Step and Growing Pains and Boy Meets World) are the only shows I miss because I don't have cable. All the new stuff I'm like eh...
I love Urkel. That Laura was such a shallow hose beast.

Did you see him on dancing with the stars? He's got moves.
And technically you are superior, if you go by this definition:
su?pe?ri?or: Located higher than another; upper.
So you kind of have a point.
Hahaha...that's awesome.
I don't watch that. I'm not a big reality fan, especially talent based stuff
My dog threw up the other day while I was nursing. I planned to clean it when I was done feeding. Puck cleaned it up before I could get to it. Oops.
A15 January Siggy Challenge-
HA! See In My Life... you got it. I feel superior. Above everyone else. On the top at all times. I live in Canada... which is ABOVE America.... Superior?
At least someone gets my sense of HA ha ha. MikeHoncho I totally thought it was you that was going to get it first.
This!
I would feel bad for P if I got pregnant right now.
Ehhhhh....I don't think that's what you really meant.

Oh, well he had some decent moves. He also got teary eyed because he had a hard time with everyone always viewing him as a nerd.
It is in fact what I meant. I have "that" kind of sense of humour. Its cool that you dont think thats what I really meant.
I think I'm with Mrs.A on this one. If the comment had been on it's own it might have been viewed differently but bundled together with the others it just came off jerk-ish
