So, the other day, Olivia’s mother and aunt were having a conversation, and her Mom was fretting about how she’d been overeating this week and how she was going back on her diet the very next day and blahblahblahwhydon’tgrown-upsevertalkaboutanythinginteresting.
Olivia says this inspired her eavesdropping 7-year-old sister to post this helpful reminder where their Mom gets ready in the morning, just to make sure she wouldn’t forget!

aWWWW. So cute., So sad. Your mother expanded for you. You have no idea how much. Someday, sweetie, you will know. And then, you will have to eat fruits and vegetables and then you will be beautiful. Meanwhile stop watching TV. It is totally brainwashing you. Now go do the dishes you ungrateful wretch.

The kid was probably fine with her mom’s weight until she overheard the conversation, and now she’s worried.

Yes, I would also like the part between “Love Amanda. And you will be…” and “…and you will be skiny all times” translated for me.

Personally, I’d rather be fat than have to carry my smiling, disembodied head around.

What idiot 7 year old can’t spell “fruit”? Oh, probably one whose mother doesn’t know what it is.

If I wanted to see this sort of thing I’d read lolkids. Unsubscribering.

Nothing is quite so preciously passive aggressive as your 7-year-old daughter drawing you with a pair of granny panties inside a heart.

Do you think that little drawing underneath is a subtle threat that if she eats too much, her seven year old might decapitate her? lol

Due to advances in modern science, the life-expectancy of baby fat has increased threefold in only two generations!

Looks like very much as something phonetically written by an adult to me. Lines are way too clear. And the spelling, as I just said, is just adult phonetic not children mistakes.

Yeah, this is exactly why you shouldn’t talk about how terrible your body is and how you need to eat less right away in front of your children. Guess whose genes that little girl inherited? Guess who she’s going to look like when she’s older?
Setting her up for a lifetime of hating her own body: achieved. Fuck sake.

The little girl just isn’t really good with words, but she communicates very well in pictures:
“In 2003 Mommy was happy, but that was before the baby came along.” All this is inside Mommy’s heart.
I’ll bet they play Pictionary way too often in that house.

that is too funny. my 9 year old asked me “what’s wrong” and why my legs “have lines on them” when i looked to see what he was talking about he points to the cellulite on my thigh and goes “those lines.” damned kids…

that was delicious
it’s gone too long without being said, those vetchtables were fucking delicious….
I also found the disembodied granny panties to be disturbing. Kids are so helpful

Maybe the daughter has just realized what her mother hasn’t- that she could shave off 10 lbs. simply by cutting off her head!

People are funny
I love how people post messages on websites like this one, complaining about how something on the site has angered them and that they will not be visiting the site again. Its like they think someone actually cares…like someone out there, sitting at their desk, reading a message board really cares.

Not buying it
I call fake. There’s no way a 7 year old drew that picture. And I agree with an above commenter who pointed out that it looked like adult phonetic.

That’s the saddest note I’ve ever seen. Poor little 7 year old girl already associating food with thinness and thinness with beauty, already understanding what diets are and why women obsess over them. The only food issues she should have are of the “I hope my mom put a Twinkie in my lunchbox so I can trade it for Caitlin’s Fruit Roll-Up” variety.
