I’m really glad your daughter has you on her side. :)

Wow, Sixty five grand really buys a lot of tacky overly ornate bullshit, huh? Guess these kids don’t need to worry about student loans, a down payment on a house or all the usual stuff a twenty-something generally would be concerned about.

That’s literally almost as much as my house.. 😳 But it is beautiful and if you can afford it.

I’m glad to read this. I want to give my daughter a magazine subscription for her 8th birthday next month and have just about settled on American Girl. We have the first changing-body book already. So far, I’ve been very impressed with their publications. They’re good at keeping things age appropriate.

I’m 29 and AG stuff was THE SHIT. I’m so glad it’s still around.

He also has minor internet fame for this picture.

But any reason to use this Gif is the beeeeest!

My mom didn’t criticize my weight until I gained some in college, but when I was little I heard her complaining about her own body all of the time and that did plenty of damage on its own.

As a former child care worker, I can tell you my opinion 100% that sensitive girls get their issues from their mother usually. Someone in authority introduces them to…

Yeah, I’m a little uncomfortable with the idea of “what 8-12-year-old has CURVES for goodness sake!!!?!?!”

Perhaps “infested” is a better word.

I’d be okay with a functional guide to swimwear for changing bodies. Like:

If this was Mad Men, this ad would have been all Peggy.

He’s a shitty director and writer and you have shitty taste and you should feel bad for your shitty taste in directors.

It’s a victimless crime, like punching someone in the dark.

But she knew the character, not the woman. Didn’t know her soul or what her favorite emojis are. For all Kristen knew, she turned herself into vapor at the end of filming each day. Where’s the personal connection? She didn’t know know her, you know?

You don’t know my life. Haters gonna hate. Whatever!

That feels like a sick burn.
