😭 As a mom you can criticize me whatever you want to say, not just my own baby, I heard something that I’m not supposed to be heard about my baby boy, that’s break my heart 🥹💔 here’s the story my husband is American and his white and I’m Asian (filipino) so my skin is morena, so when my baby came out he got mix color so as you can see but he got more my Asian color , and there’s was a lady said “why it’s look like her son is not white”- sounds disappointed, and that lady is a Filipina as well, so in my country when you said dark most refer (the baby’s ugly) anyway I ignore that because I know my baby boy is perfect to me, he is handsome, and a sweet boy, and deserved to be love no matter what he looks like and his my everything 🤍 And that’s matter. As a mom "He is absolutely perfect, and having your beautiful skin tone is a blessing! I Never let anyone’s narrow-mindedness dim my pride. He is handsome, loved, and exactly who he is meant to be." #babylove #motherslove #adviceforlove
