Mom asked was a mom shaming her and I said YES!

The high school is having prom this weekend and I was helping my little sister shop for a prom dress. There was this mom who had a daughter who looked about 16/17 and the daughter was trying on dresses and when I say this mom fat shamed and bullied her daughter with every single dress she tried. This girl tried on this blue dress and her mom laughed saying she looked like a whale. This poor girl was in tears.

My sister was uncomfortable. I was uncomfortable. We decided to find another store but before I left I told this girl "You are beautiful btw. Don't let anyone tell you you're not." The mom told me to mind my business and I told her I'm just letting her daughter know she's beautiful since someone else isn't. " The mom goes "It sounds like you are trying to mom shame me." I said "I am! Because you are one piss poor ass parent. She is gorgeous!" I walked away because she was shocked. Maybe I got involved because I had an eating disorder growing up and I still struggle with food sometimes. I don't have children. But I know the power words have. Especially when it comes from your own mother and I don't think I need to be a parent to know piss poor parenting when I see it.
