I thought I weighed myself...by myself. Apparently I don't and I have one 4 year old that steps on the scale to see her number.
First: I'm sad that I allowed this to even happen, I didn't want the scale to ever be an issue for my children. I'm hoping she doesn't understand what it all means, just that you stand on it but they are smart cookies.
Result: The scale is now hidden and will never be seen again.
Me: I'm a daily weigher, bad me, but its definitely hard not to check on myself. I'm thinking this will be a good thing in the end.

I'm a daily weigher too - have been for over a year now and it's one of the only ways I stay on track. I hope to "quit" one day though - but not until I reach my happy weight. Although I don't have kids yet, so that could change if I have a child before I get there. Like you, I don't think I want a child to experience a scale. Ever.
Johnny has hopped on occasionally to see how "big and strong" he's getting ... but for the most part my scale stays hidden under my bed and I only get weighed with the door closed and he's no where around. I pray every day that he never has to worry about that number the way that I do (and his daddy really should) ...
I am a daily weigher too. Its a tough one with the kiddies, I have never had to think about it given I dont have children but I dunno, so long as its a healthy relationship with the scale then maybe its not such a bad thing for children to learn about... it really is a tough one though!
