Just keeping it real over here with my non-Smartphone photo
I'm not sure how well this will work towards helping their sense of self as they grow up, but it's not like I can keep them out of the bathroom or bedroom. Neither has a lock.
(1) let my girls know what a normal, female figure looks like: CHECK!
(2) do not make negative comments about my normal, female figure: in progress.
(3) do not stand in a dressing room bemoaning my legs as my little girls watch me, only to turn to them and say, "You both have my legs!": not yet by me, but pretty much every shopping experience with my mom growing up (and that's a lot! Oh, and my mom is 5'1" and never weighed over 94lbs my entire childhood and adolescence).
Try doing this with a son. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd now I am wondering how to raise a boy to be realistic about himself and others ...
