I don’t get how all of this sends her daughter a healthy body image message? Erin is very very thin for her age, naturally I’m sure, but surely sitting there going YEAH LOOK AT ME ALL HEALTHY AND FLABBY is going to question Erins own self esteem/self image
especially when she was recently body shaming plus size models in bikinis for not having "a belly" that exactly mirrored her own gunt! she's promoting a very limited idea of body positivity, in that you should be positive abott your body if your body is an exact replica of babs' - ie specifically a size 18, never any larger OR smaller, with a noticeable stomach, supposedly "great" boobs etc. and that, plus the fact that she also perpetuates the idea that you should pose deceivingly in photos to make yourself appear as thin as possible, even to the extent that you have people stand on chairs and take photos of you from above must be SO confusing for the kids and is going to completely mess up their thoughts and beliefs about their own bodies and impact their self esteem. as always, babs hasn't put a single thought into how her faux body positive behaviour will impact her kids and their relationship with their own bodies - especially when they'll soon be going through puberty.
similarly, the way she flashes her gunt and fanny and crotch etc on SM for the whole world to see, yet won't allow erin to wear crop tops and hotpants because they're inappropriate?! she's sending her kids all kinds of mixed messages about modesty and body positivity and self esteem. it's heartbreaking thinking of the issues erin and ethan are likely to have to contend with in the future, which could easily have been avoided if babs didn't behave the way she does.
