How to talk to your daughter about her body, step one: don’t talk to your daughter about her body, except to teach her how it works. Don’t say anything if she’s lost weight. Don’t say anything if she’s gained weight. If you think your daughter’s body looks amazing, don’t say that. Here are some things you can say instead: “You look so healthy!” is a great one. Or how about, “you’re looking so strong.” “I can see how happy you are – you’re glowing.” Better yet, compliment her on something that has nothing to do with her body. Don’t comment on other women’s bodies either. Nope. Not a single comment, not a nice one or a mean one. Teach her about kindness towards others, but also kindness towards yourself. Don’t you dare talk about how much you hate your body in front of your daughter, or talk about your new diet. In fact, don’t go on a diet in front of your daughter. Buy healthy food. Cook healthy meals. But don’t say “I’m not eating carbs right now.” Your daughter should never think that carbs are evil, because shame over what you eat only leads to shame about yourself. Encourage your daughter to run because it makes her feel less stressed. Encourage your daughter to climb mountains because there is nowhere better to explore your spirituality than the peak of the universe. Encourage your daughter to surf, or rock climb, or mountain bike because it scares her and that’s a good thing sometimes. Help your daughter love soccer or rowing or hockey because sports make her a better leader and a more confident woman. Explain that no matter how old you get, you’ll never stop needing good teamwork. Never make her play a sport she isn’t absolutely in love with. Prove to your daughter that women don’t need men to move their furniture. Teach your daughter how to cook kale. Teach your daughter how to bake chocolate cake made with six sticks of butter. Pass on your own mom’s recipe for Christmas morning coffee cake. Pass on your love of being outside. Maybe you and your daughter both have thick thighs or wide ribcages. It’s easy to hate these non-size zero body parts. Don’t. Tell your daughter that with her legs she can run a marathon if she wants to, and her ribcage is nothing but a carrying case for strong lungs. She can scream and she can sing and she can lift up the world, if she wants. Remind your daughter that the best thing she can do with her body is to use it to mobilize her beautiful soul.

I wish my Mom would have done this instead of making me ashamed of every aspect of my body. I hope to never do that to my daughter OR my son.

Right now, just right now, I'm scrolling thru my phone in bed while Jenelle is drinking her milk next to me. I rip a morning fart and 2 seconds later she does the same thing. I look at her and she gives me this smile saying "yeah, i just did that."

The last couple of arguments I had with my dad were about MY money. He thinks I blow all my money on clothes, food, and junk. He says he's trying to help me and teach me about responsibilities. The thing is.. I don't spend my money!! Here & there I'll eat out or have to pay valet at my job but that's it, the rest I have saved up in my Savings account and some even go in a piggy bank. He still acts like he can control me just because I live under his roof and he thinks I don't help around the house like I'm ungrateful and I abuse the help. Uhh, no! I do dishes, fold his laundry, etc. Maybe not all the time but I do it enough to be considered paying my part of house chores. So he decides to start charging me rent. No, thank you! Why? Because they have 4 untrained, noisy ass Yorkies and every single day my daughter & I have to deal with their bs. He doesn't get it though, he asks me why it makes a difference now when I've been living there this whole time. It's different because I have to pay rent now living in a house with those damn dogs! I even offer to train the dogs BEFORE paying rent but no, he wants me to pay for training the dogs AND rent. Fuck that! Those dogs are ridiculously embarassing and they don't care to do anything because that's their spoiled babies and they can get away with whatever they want. He hasn't spoken to me since he left last night for work. We saw each other this morning but nothing has been said about the situation. He did say that if I don't wanna pay rent then to leave the house. If he really means that then I already know where to go. But even if he didn't mean it, should I go? My relationship with him is so much better when we don't live together. ?? :/

Parenting done right.

I almost lost it at the Disney Store today.

Why? I watched a father very firmly tell his little boy “No, you can’t have that Rapunzel dress." The boy was near tears until his dad continued, “That one’s way too small. Let’s find your size."

Eventually, the little boy decided against the dress and, with his dad’s blessing, picked out a tiara instead, because “it’s better for everyday."

Parenting: this guy’s doing it right.

Funny, I kept telling my ex the same thing but he just didn't get it.

You don’t need to buy me expensive things or take me out to dinner every night or even every weekend. I don’t need the world or want the world. I want the little things. If you push my hair out of face or rub my back. Or if you randomly kiss my cheek. Or text me randomly saying you miss me. Or if you make a tweet about me or post a picture of us. Then that’s all I care about. I want the little things. I care way more about that, than anything else.

Sweet

My boyfriend and I on our first Disneyland trip together, Disneybounding as Ariel and Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid! 

We got so many amazing reactions (and even got brought to the front of the line on Luigi’s Flying Tires by a cast member!) but I think my favorite one of the day was a little girl dressed as Snow White gasping at me and squealing, “Mommy! Look! It’s Ariel!" and I said to Dom, “Babe! Look! It’s Snow White!" and she smiled. <3
