[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh, I don't tell them that they are good-looking or beautiful in a direct way.  I will tell them that they are looking very good when they are well dressed or they have made me very proud with their accomplishments.  So I praise the effort.

[b]I do tell them that if they were ugly or slow,  I would have found it very easy to put them in daycare, not breastfeed them and continue  my career. [/b] Instead I became a happy SAHM because they were so worth it and such a joy to be with. [/quote]

Wow! What if one of your beautiful daughters had a child with a facial difference? Gwyneth Paltrow did. What if one of your daughters had a “slow”  child? This is so *wildly* ableist, and I’m not sure I’ve ever even used the term before, but it fits. [b]All children are worthy of love. [/b][/quote]

But, I don't see all children getting love from their parents. In fact, most parents see their children as a burden.  People post all the time about how they dislike their kids, their spouse etc.    :wink:

What do you care what I think about my children.  You only care about what I think about yours. And I don't.

Dp. I think a stranger can care but realize we have no power to do anything.  Perhaps the pp was hoping for some self reflection so you don't continue?  What you are saying is harmful to your children.  Don't you care about that?[/quote]
