DEAR MISS MANNERS: My girl, who is 6 1/2 years of age and weighs around 45 pounds, is a lovely minimal blonde with wavy hair and blue eyes, and helps me to remember a blessed messenger. Be that as it may, my relative, stepmother-in-law and brother by marriage all make remarks about her, for example, "She beyond any doubt has dispersed," and "She's getting slim" and "She's getting tall, she's lost some of her gut."

This incenses me! My girl is not by any means the only individual they discuss this way (they say stuff in regards to everybody), except she is my fundamental concern. She is fit and charming as a bug, and is NOT overweight at all. She has never at any point had "child fat," as it were. On the off chance that anything, she is petite.
Those three are the main ones who have made remarks about her, and when I tell other individuals (my companions or other relatives), they don't comprehend what my other family is seeing. The ones who say these things don't plan to be mean — they adore my little girl — they simply appear to be a lot into looks and what others look like.
It is unsettling. I would prefer not to be impolite, however would like to make a point that they are being inconsiderate, and in the event that they don't stop, one day my little girl will hear a remark that makes her consider seriously herself. Young ladies' self-regards are so fragile, wouldn't you say? So what would it be advisable for me to state to family to express what is on my mind before I go psycho mother on them?
