Upset by my mum's comments

[emkana]

I e/mailed some pictures of my children to my mum - among them the one of ds that is now in my profile. My mum thanked me in an e/mail and said what a lovely smile ds had (in a different photo).

But then today she said to me on the phone about the photo in my profile "Surely ds doesn't really look like that? So short, head so big?"

It upset me a bit because ds is what he is to me and when I see a picture of him I just see cuteness, nothing else. I know she probably didn't mean to upset me, but it just made me think as well how other people view ds...

I think he's gorgeous Emkana.

[hoxtonchick]

he is beautiful. look at that hair!

I'm a bit speechless actually Emkana.

He's gorgeous. End of.

[indiasmum]

ditto, he's gorgeous, beautiful eyes, lush hair, great tan!!!!
what special needs does he have (if you dont mind me being really really nosy?!). you dont have to tell me obv
i would be upset if someone said that to me about one of my dcs too so can understand how you feel but trust me, i dont think you have anything to worry about.

He has a skeletal dysplasia, aka short-limbed dwarfism - short-ish arms and legs, biggish head.

I don't really know what my mum was on about, tbh. She has a tendency to be a bit tactless at times. I still hate it though, even though I should be used to it.

emkana - sorry your mother's comments are adding to the stress.

[mymatemax]

Emkana, he's gorgeous & looks just perfect, beautiful eyes!

[gess]

Bloody hell emkana. He's beautiful. I've always thought he was the sweetest baby. I suspect your mum is having her own problems handling the questionmarks over him. You do expect better of family though don't you? Don't doubt it, he's gorgeous.

[emkana]

Thanks everyone.

Dinosaur, if you want to have a look, click on my name, then scroll down to where it says emkana's pictures, and click on that.

[2shoesishappy]

Riven that is truly awful

[Pinkchampagne]

riven, that is just awful.

[lionheart]

He's a sweetie, emkana, what a serious expression!

[ladygrinningsoul]

Oh no riven, what a terrible thing to say. Emkana, your boy is lovely.

[lucyellensmum]

emkana, when i saw everyone saying how lovely your boy is i have to say i thought, oh they are just saying it to make her feel better. So i took a look for myself, he is gorgeous really he is, your mum talks out of her bum . I cant actually see what she is talking about tbh

[coppertop]

I've just had a peek at your profile, Emkana. Your ds is absolutely gorgeous.

[Tamum]

Wow emkana, he is just beautiful, he really is. Nothing else would occur to me, looking at that photo. I am so sorry that you've been upset. How he is doing now, chest-wise? He looks the absolute picture of health, I have to say

[emkana]

You are all very kind.

[Tamum]

I think we're all just telling the truth actually

[emkana]

I am ridiculously proud of him, I must say.

His chest, dare I say it without tempting fate, is not too bad atm btw. (Acronyms, ey, don't ya just love 'em?) Did you see my thread about the hypochondroplasia, tamum?
