    You should have pulled out your phone and pretended to take a picture, then got on it and said "Santa, I'm sending you a picture of a kid who said he didn't want any toys... Got it?, Ok thanks..." and then put it back in your pocket and walked away.

    i love this idea
    but i know how you feel my nice asked me almost two years ago if i went outside with out a shirt on and i said sometimes. the reply she gave me shocked me. she said i must scar peoples eyes. i was made for a few weeks then i did something about it. i kike to think it was their way of giving me a wake up call. but it hurt none the same. i'm sorry you had to deal with that little brat. i would said i'm not fat your just short

    lol, kids are uninhibited. . .I work with kids in all my jobs and they can be very rude, blunt, etc. . . and it can and does hurt your feelings. but that's why we're working on it everyday. even then, people, even kids will always find something wrong with you anyway so when we get to a point that we are good about ourselves, won't matter what others say.

    It's one thing for a young child to say something like that.... but it is a parents place to explain to them why they shouldn't. If they are little, they really don't understand that they are being rude or disrespectful, but I wish parents would actually explain to their children why you don't say those things.

    I have an 11 year old with autism, and I can totally see him telling someone their mom is fat. That's one of the "red light" statements we're teaching him about. With that said, though, kids can be mean and I can also see someone saying that just to be mean. It's nice to see that you took it in stride! How did your daughter handle it?

    I just tell them yes, I'm fat. Did you know you're adopted because your real mommy and daddy didn't want to keep you?


    Seriously? Obviously you know nothing about adoption. And you'd better never say anything like that around my child.

    Are you one of my old classmates? Seriously dude, the adoption comment was off topic, and while as kids having another kid say that is one thing, you, as an adult, should know better. And fyi, my real mommy did want to keep me and asked many family members to help her out, my real daddy is very active in my life and the life of my children. And to turn it on you, you're just jealous because there are some of us who have many parents who love us :) Just watch it dude, okay?

    I am very sorry that this happened to you.
    I don’t know the age of the child. At certain ages children say hurtful things not realizing they are hurtful, just that it is a statement of believed fact similar to “your mommy has brown eyes.” However, at some point that stating of believed fact turns into something intentionally hurtful because parents have bias or haven’t taught their children about sensitivity or it could be reflective of their home environment and someone in their home being overly critical of themselves or others. If approached properly in a situation it could be a magnificent learning opportunity for that child and their parent.

    Just continue on doing your healthy eating and exercising :) Kids don't really know better until they are taught its not nice to say things like that.

    Some kids really are mean, some have no filter, and some just pull "the fat card". My daughter told me that some girls call everyone fat when they are trying to insult them. They can be at a perfect weight but they know that calling a girl/woman fat will get to her easier than a lot of insults.

    Try not to let it get to you. :flowerforyou:

    I think you guys are reading into this more than it is... If he had said "boy your mommy is pretty" would that make him a genius? Kids say what they think and don't always do it out of meanness.

    Im glad it made you decide to take control of your life, but let's not attack the kid and his parents because of it....
