Pretty Baby Syndrome
From an 18 y/o mother of two girls. Speaking of her 1st child's father who shook the little girl when she was a baby . . . "He's crazy, but he makes pretty babies." Same young lady speaking of her 2nd kid's father who will be going to court this month to face charges for severely burning her 1st child with hot water . . . "This is a big mess, but one thing I got out of it . . . he helped me make a pretty baby."
From a 36 y/o guy that works in my building. He utterered these words as he showed my co-worker and me a picture of one of his 3 kids that he can not support. "You see, I can make some pretty babies."
There is some "pretty baby" disease that is going around. Do people think that if their babies are pretty that it excuses everything else? Is that why young ladies are jumping in the bed and having children because they don't want the "pretty baby" maker to pass them by??
The next time you hear someone saying they make pretty babies or they want to have a baby with someone jst because the baby will be pretty (or have good hair), kick them for me!!!! Tell them that it's ghetto thinking. They need to worry about a pretty spiritual relationship with God, or a pretty education or a pretty home or a pretty trip to some extravagant place . . . or, better yet, a pretty bank account.
Throwing your sanity and youth away to have a pretty baby is just not a good trade off. And, pretty is only skin deep.
