I recall, after my first was born touting how absolutely
adorable he was. I remember everyone agreeing with me...except my
sister. Now don't think of my sister as being some sort of ultimate b*tch
(not so say that she can't be) she tried to say he was cute. The problem
is she doesn't lie very well.
I remembering a year or so going by and I, looking back on his pictures and
thinking, "oh my...he was not so cute!" Not even remotely, my
sister was right!
Well, now I have a very good looking 6'1" 16 year old. At least I think he
is.
-Cookie/mouse thing here- I'll get to the point soon.
I remember making a pact with my husband when each of the next four were born
we were going to be honest with each other and not tell everyone how cute the
babies were if they weren't. I know it shouldn't matter!
I have
been witness to the "Oh, look at the cute baby!" (Mother leaves with
child) and it's "he/she has a face only a mother could love!”
I try to find other nice things to say as I really don't like lying even if
it's to make someone feel good.
I am currently however in a conundrum. My friends keep sending me
pictures of their babies. Some are not so cute. But they are
splashing these pictures to hundreds of people and telling me how adorable
these babies are and (I should be struck down for this thought) all I can think
is (shudder) oh, you are so disillusioned!
This being said I think my littlest trooper is cute. It does makes me
wonder-now to the point-
Am I one of those disillusioned women out there? I make a point of
usually only voicing my cute opinion within the confines of our household and I
think all of our kids are good looking (they all look like their dad).
Is this baby cute? http://picasaweb.google.com/swizzlemom/Swizzlepics?authkey=h42V1AQSSC4
I would love to know, what does one say if a baby isn't cute?
What constitutes
a cute baby?
Do all mothers think their babes are adorable? Is it human nature? Is it a survival technique?
Do men tell it like it is?
