Reply #28: My little ones have said stuff from time to time...

[FirstLight]

I am a curvy mamma and after 3 kids I am not as svelte as I used to be. My daughter at 5 said "why are you so fat" and I almost cried.
Now I just tell them "god makes mommas squishy to the kids have someone soft to lay on"
They are 5 & 6 and they even joke from time to time...."mommy can't sit there, her butt won't fit!"
I try to laugh at it or tell them when they have crossed the boundary to saying something "mean"

Hope you can let it go or maybe it can help you find an excuse to go out for an after dinner family funtime...walking is free, and it helps depression tremendously. It is my favorite thing to do with my kids when I have the evening, cuz I can get in a science lesson while we do it...we look at the changing leaves or the buds before sping, etc. It hasn't changed my wieght as much as my perspective.
