Criticizing Your Daughter’s Weight
My poor exmormon aunts – as soon as they entered puberty, my grandma got on their case for having too much fat on them when in reality, they had just gotten more shapely as they got hips, bigger thighs, and breasts. This is totally normal. I look back at their teenage pictures and they were actually quite slender. One exmormon aunt got a total complex about her weight and actually started to gain later. I wonder if my grandma’s nagging backfired. She has been the fat police for the whole family, actually. She’s a joy at family gatherings.
