No kids ourselves, but occurred to us: how do parents of not-very-good-looking (or downright ugly) children cope with helping their kids face the world?

In this stupid society, where good looks seem to count for far more than good morals, or good sense, or good deeds, how do you send out your daughter (unfortunately it usually is the daughter) into the world with her unsightly face? Or your son with his enormous nose, sticky-out ears, buck teeth, etc., etc.

In smaller, gentler communities, people are sometimes more forgiving of deviations from the norm, but in big cities?

I was allowed to be off sick on school photo days after a horrendous one that my mum said she was ashamed to show the family.

My son gave us a photograph of my first granddaughter aged 18 months....UGLY?...I would have been ashamed to keep the photograph in existence.

Myself......i have been told that i was a beautiful baby and as a child had blonde hair (no blue eyes) and i have kept up my handsomness to this very day.

My ,late, sister at 6 years old was taken to the maternity hospital, by Dad, in Hampstead to meet her new baby brother (me) shortly after I joined the world. Apparently she looked into my cot and declared,"Gosh isn't he ugly and wrinkled. He looks like a chimp"
My mother howled the hospital down for ages.
My sister felt guilty for the rest of her life. :-)
