There are just some things in life that you have to “grin and bear.”
Awkward pictures, a bad date set up by a friend, being close to someone with bad breath, and seeing an “ugly baby.”
You won’t say how you’re really feeling because it would severely hurt someone’s feelings.
One mom, however, has no problem with this. She wants to tell her cousin that her baby is "ugly," especially compared to her own "perfect" children.
Redditor WasteCan6403 saw it and knew that it deserved to be ripped apart.
“Made a post to brag about her kids while calling her cousin’s child ugly. What a waste of words,” they wrote.
“I got super blessed that they are so beautiful and sweet,” they wrote, adding that they are “literally perfect.”
“We could be completely content and honest to ourselves if we had aesthetically ugly/misbehaved children. I just don’t know how we got so lucky.”
But since the woman is incapable of lying, she can’t be nice and compliment the other person’s children back, even if it's just a white lie.
The post got even wilder when the mom admitted that she was afraid that she wouldn’t even like her own kids!
Unfortunately, this extends to her cousin’s baby. “My cousin literally has the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen. She constantly sends me photos and expects compliments.”
Now, the mom is in a pickle: her cousin won’t stop sending pictures of her so-called “ugly baby.”
Yikes. Expecting backlash, the mom wrote, “Y’all can judge me or call me an asshole, it’s fine. I’m aware and accepting of myself for who I am. You thinking I’m an asshole it’s just as OK as me thinking your child is ugly.”
That’s a lot to unpack! The mom received lots of comments, but the only ugly person people saw was her.
"She’s going to emotionally obliterate her poor children when they stop being 'perfect' for her," another added.
"She’s not a 'new mom' if she has 2 toddlers!! And she isn’t 'struggling to gain parenting etiquette,' she flat out doesnt care she’s a rude person!" a third added.
"Only I don't want to be mean to kids. Rarely are anyone's kids as glorious as the parents think they are," they added.
In case you're wondering how the other moms reacted to the original post, she got torn apart. So there's always that!
