Today, my 15 year-old daughter got kicked out of her cheerleading squad because she was overweight. I heard one of the cheerleaders say, "She must be overweight because her mom is." FML

Today, I have discovered that my daughter is struggling with anorexia. When I sat down to talk with her about it, she said it’s because, "all the other kids at school keep calling her fat." She was underweight before, and has now gone to being severely underweight. FML

Today, I caught my mother telling my 11-year-old daughter that if she wants to be happy in life, she needs to start exercising now, because fat can creep up on you, and rich guys never marry fat girls with nice personalities. I was fuming. FML

Today, like every other day, my daughter thinks that degrading skinny people is very "non-conformist" and "edgy". This time, though, a slightly slim girl punched her in the face when she accused her of being anorexic. Now people think I gave my daughter her new black eye. FML

Today, I discovered my 17 year-old daughter has an eating disorder. When I confronted her, she confessed that she’s doing it because she wants to stay thin, so that her boyfriend doesn’t dump her like her father dumped me for not being thin enough. FML

Today, my seven-year-old told me to lose weight. Her reason? There's a family fun day coming up at her school and she is embarrassed. FML

Today, I was watching my 7 year old daughter and her friend jump on our trampoline. I was really impressed by all the flips they were doing, and I told her "Hey! I can't even do that." To that her friend replied " Of course you can't. You're fat!" FML

Today, I tried out for cheerleading. The judges, two head cheerleaders, sized me up, burst out laughing and made fat jokes towards me. I fought back and called them, "twiggy fucking sluts." At that moment, the coach walked in and saw and reported me to the principal. The judges got off scott free. FML

Classic Mom moment

By me - 28/06/2013 15:51 - United States

Today, I went to my parents' house. I recently lost about 30 lbs. My mom hugged me and said, "Aww, you're not my chubby baby girl anymore." She then said she wished I were still fat because she missed it. She's the reason I lost the weight; she used to tease and taunt me. Thanks Mom. FML

Today, I told my kids that our family dog was getting too fat and we should give him a little less food. My youngest daughter whispered to her sister, "Mommy's fat and we still give her food." FML

Think of it as a blessing. You want your daughter to grow up to be a great person and not some ****/bitch who thinks the world revolves around her. People can lose weight but you can't get rid of ugly

i don't have anything against overweight people, but, aesthetically speaking, people don't want a cheerleader who is overweight. the same can be said for newscasters and other professions where outer appearance is considered a valuable thing. i'm not saying it's right or wrong, but that's the way it is. |the kid|

Although most people would choose to look at someone thin over someone heavy, I can't agree that there is necessarily a strong correlation between someone's weight and how good of a cheerleader they are. When I first started at my high school, one of the more impressive cheerleaders was also the heaviest. I don't know if she took gymnastics when she was young or what, but she was the most acrobatic. I don't think the appearance of an individual cheerleader is important at all, and it's sad that the OP's daughter won't get the opportunity to participate. Also, I didn't have a ton of friends in high school, but the cheerleaders I knew were actually pretty nice (I don't think catty, slutty, etc. is representative of all cheerleaders).
