She looks toned and healthy to me. Size 12 doesn't look the same on everybody. I'm not saying it's chunky or even fat, just that not every size 12 looks toned like that.... Then again... I know some skinny girls who have flab bc their skin isn't toned or they have very little muscle.

You're right, there are so many factors and looking at size does not always tell the whole story. I have a friend who's a 2-4 and looks very fit. I also have a friend who's a size 12 who also has a rockin' fit body. Natural body type is all about genetics.
 
I'm not going to argue the personal idiosyncrasies of you or your family. But I can't help but think you are being stubbornly dishonest to claim you zero concern to what your children are exposed to. I'm not from a nuclear family - I'm a gay black man and I'm about as liberal minded as one can get, but there is no denying that without some filtering and monitoring of what children are confronted with when they are in their most impressionable stage and are easily persuaded that it can lead to some damaging results.

Would you care if the channels your children deliberately watched started broadcasting adult material?

If their teacher was stepping out line and discussing topics too mature for them?

Anything?

Or do you seriously simply not give rat's ass about what children are exposed too at all?

at some level there has to be some concern. Because there is no denying, not matter how "Independent" your children are that they will be effected by external influences from the world around them. To think otherwise, that your child is above the fray, is normal - but typical naivety of parents.

Actually no, we are not too concerned about what our children are exposed to. "Why is that?" you ask. Its simple. Our children are supervised and around adults of the family almost all the time and are rarely by themselves. So this means that the context of any exposure to sensitive subjects can be controlled or at least explained. That is key. The other thing is the younger children ie those under 12 do not get on the computer or watch TV for long periods or unsupervised. Children while they may be impressionable by others are far more impressed by their parents especially if the parents are involved actively.
 
You must have failed to actually comprehend my op because you are only repeating what I already said. Knee jerk response.

I didn't fail at understanding your opinions. I just added my own. Don't like it? Tough ****. Move the **** on...
 
You are so bi polar. Was the ending necessary? lol really?

You're so hardcore. :roll:

Fail after fail... trying to play both sides...
 
Hell no.

Fat jokes have always been the way of the world here. Even with the fat activists who are deluding in thinking obesity isn't a health risk, the nation doesn't glamorizes it here. There are some that try, they try and fail.
 
This implying that you think your childish quips are "creative". lol that's rich.

There is no need to be clever when all I am seeing is what you offer... *shrugs*
