How would you react if your dad called you fat?

Question

today i went shopping for clothes and picked up some skinny's today too. me and my dad though had a fight over wether they looked good on me or not. my mom and sis were like they look fine, since they no about fashion esp. teen fashion. but my dad said they looked really ugly, that the "tight" look looks ridiculous esp. on me. he said that it wasn't good for fat people, like me. i was shocked that he so bluntly put it that way that im fat! im "5"1' and 110 lb. size 5 in pants. my dad always called me fat even when the doc. said that im at a perfectly avg. weight for my height. he refused to buy them, so my mom did. at least she actually knows that a real woman isn't size 000000. so do you think that someone of that weight really do look bad in skinny's. and is a size 5 seriously fat? i just want some input to prove to my dad, and how to react to such unrealistic views on the size of a woman. i mean im indian for gods sake, indian woman have well... curves.

Answer 1

your dad is most likely fat don't listen to him.  

Answer 2

Hes joking. My girlfriends dad calls her fat. Shes 5'3 and 95 pounds. But she has a six pack and lots of muscle in places.

Answer 3

That's considered verbal abuse. Does he insult you and  attack your worth as a woman in other ways? He sounds like a foolish man who does not realize the power of being a father. Our fathers' words ring in our ears forever.

No, of course you're not fat. You already know that. You do not deserve to be talked to this way.

Answer 4

He probably just wants you to wear something less revealing so her makes those comments to make you feel like changing your wardrobe.  I am sure he thinks you look great but doesn't want other boys to see you in a sexual way...

Answer 5

Listen to your doctor not your dad. You are a great size. Sounds like your father has major issues. Maybe in his own sick twisted way he is trying to make you self conscious so you won't date.

Answer 6

What a jerk. Forget about it, he's a wanker.

When I was 15 my mum called me a big fat ape. She was so fat her flab used to get in the way when she was changing gears in the car.

I laughed at her, but then I cried later.

Some people shouldn't be parents!

Answer 7

ignore him .. he probably just doesnt want you wearing tight pants or something you are perfect weight .. im 4'10" and 102lbs. ... you don't sound fat at all ... if your mom thinks they look fine then they probably do because she knows more about fashion and girl's bodies.

Answer 8

My feelings would be really hurt. I would tell him that he hurt my feelings and that it hard enough to be a teenager with out having someone you love and respect being negative towards you.  I bet he he had no idea that you would believe him (you are not fat).

Answer 9

Yikes. The sexual tension between you and father is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

The tension. It's overwhelming.

I hope it lasts.  

Answer 10

I would slap him on the face and walk out of the house  

Answer 11

my dad always say that =_____= i just ingnore him..keke ^o^

Answer 12

I find his  language to be abusive. your dad should be ashamed of himself to make such a damaging comment is bad enough but to compound the fact that it is such a demeaning comment by saying it to some-one he is supposed to love and protect. JUST INEXCUSABLE!  DON"T listen to him the doctor is a better judge of what is acceptable in the weight range. Thank god for mothers.Your fathers opinion is no reason to feel bad about yourself or insecure as it holds no merit at all.  Enjoy your skinny's.
