Do most skinny parents want skinny kids?

My parents were skinny and are still skinny. In his late teens, my dad was 170cm (5'7'') and 50kg (110lbs). My mom was 157cm (5'2'') and 40kg (88lbs) in her late teens. My parents are now around 50, dad weighs 118lbs and mom weighs 110lbs.

I am now in my late teens, 163cm (5'4'') and 48kg (105lbs). My parents said I shouldn't get any fatter and that girls look ugly when they are fat. I only started feeling a lil fat when they mentioned I shouldn't get any fatter and knowing how skinny they were when they were my age.

I think skinny parents want their kids (esp daughters) to be skinny too?

well I'm 30 and weigh 52kgs 5ft 5 inches, my husband is 31 and weighs 70kgs and is 6ft 2inches. We have 3 children, and to be honest all my husband and i want for our children is to be happy, healthy and to be proud of who they are. We have 2 daughters aged 11 and 8 and we try our hardest to make body image the least of their worries, to have self confidence and a healthy level of self esteem is what we try to show our daughters, as for our son who is only 3 even at this young age we still encourage the same values, a good parent of course is concerned about their child's health, but sweet heart from your height and weight, you sound just about right for your age, i wish people in this world would be more worried about more important things, you don't have a weight problem, you are far from being fat. As a parent I don't understand where your parents are coming from.

It's not just skinny parents - my mom and I share clothes, and every other woman in the family is built like us or bigger, and she still takes time at least once a year to tell me I'm fat. I mean, bad enough with the pressure from all outside sources, but when parents do it ... You're not fat. I know it's hard to listen to others telling you this when it's your own parents telling you otherwise, but you need to be able to let go of what they say, especially before they become the voice in your head and you really start to believe it.

Your parents are very thin based on your description of them. As for you, 5'4" and 105 lbs, is also a bit thin, but not that bad. So no you are not fat, (not even close!!) and if you gain a few more pounds....so freakin' what?!

Are you happy with yourself and your height/weight? Then who the hell cares what the rest of the world thinks. Right? You are perfect, and don't let anyone else tell you different.

Skinny, yes, but that's mean of your parents to call you fat at only 105 pounds!!!! I'm your height and weigh 140 and am very healthy. I think skinny parents view being skinny as healthy. As long as you are eating right and exercising, your parents should not be concerned.
