Build or Bust Your Child

So one of the things that drives me CRAZY is when parents insult their children!! When it's either "You're too fat" or "You look ugly like that." I get so sick of hearing stories of parents yelling at their children while they are total hypocrites!! When parents tell their children they are fat that really annoys me, its really their fault they are that way in the first place... If you don't want your child to get chubby then don't let them eat junk!!! It's really quite simple parenting, if you even care enough! Except for those parent's who call their children fat when they are really not fat at all. Like those parents who exploit their children on "Toddlers and Tiara's" that show reallllly knows how to push my buttons. Someone actually asked me if I would ever do that with Ashlynn since she is "so pretty" and I laughed in their face and asked them if they thought I was sick in the head. Even regular parents or family members who tell their kids they need to lose weight when they are skinny drives me crazy, why "bust" your child's confidence when you could be focusing on the positives about them? Build your child!! My mother has always told me that I am beautiful, smart, and wonderful even when I messed up. Even when your child makes mistakes, you have to encourage them, and love them unconditionally. Also, calling your child ugly is pretty much insulting yourself considering that they have your genes, and came from you in the first place... so that's kind of rude both ways... So think before you speak! You are building your child's future, and effecting them for the rest of their lives.
