[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was 5 or 6 and my mom said, "You were such a homely child" ... she knew that I didn't know what the word meant and at the time I thought it meant cute.  Once I learned how to use a dictionary, I looked it up and was very sad.

Damn, that’s heartbreaking. I’m sorry.[/quote]

What a mean thing to say. My mom said I had a face only a mother could love. I can't remember if it was when I had terrible acne or when I had a mouthful of braces. She said it often, with a jokey tone. It's so bizarre to think back on it... Why would you say such a mean confusing thing to a kid? I'm ugly, but maybe my mom doesn't think so, but why would she keep saying it?. And she never ever once gave me a compliment on my looks, so it must have been her way of telling me I'm ugly.

I tell my son he's cute or handsome or looks nice or I like his shirt. I don't want him to get a big head. But I certainly don't want him to internalize that he's ugly. [/quote]
