Pretty harsh comments Michael.
Egotistical, selfish, prideful, haughty, short sighted lie? Really?
The world we live in with social media and texting, girls can become overwhelmed with the negative which leads to poor self image and feeling "less than," I do not know a woman out there, including your wife, who would not enjoy, welcome, and appreciate a loving comment on just how great they are and how beautiful they look. Better go find her and tell her so....she is probably worn out from "raising a family with very good results."
Congratulations. Who is the egotistical one here?

Good article. One comment. Having raised a family with very good results, I consider it very problematic to tell your child that they are "the prettiest little princess (or prince) in the world"... It sets them up for failure, causes arguments at school, and not to mention about all the other parents who told their children that same egotistical, selfish, prideful, haughty short sighted lie....
