I was initially mad at how shallow he was being. But when they put up the picture of that baby I have to admit it made me cry because it felt painful, imagine your own parent calling you ugly just because you’re born and you don’t look the way that they want you to look. When they’re that young, you are so in love with them they could look like the messiest little garbage troll and you’ll still say “that’s my beautiful boy“, this man hasn’t even tried to bond with his son. When you love and bond with your child you don’t find flaws in them. That little boy is so beautiful but has such a shitty dad.

I don’t think this is exactly the same thing, even if it’s still one of the dumbest cases I’ve ever seen.

Ummm … he married her and could plainly see her color, but you think he has a problem with her color ? No. His problem is that he felt he was deceived. Admittedly he is superficial and delusional, but still - his problem is not with her color - his problem is that he believes he was deceived.

I usher at a place that houses ballet and other events. Before the show begins the audience is advised that there is no recording or cell phone usage during the events. My job would have been to notify the guest that she was violating the rules and needed to put the phone away or she could pick it up after the show. The alternative would be to escort her from the hall.

The baby is absolutely adorable and deserves a father who knows what love is and who loves him. Hopefully one day this man will obtain some common sense and develope some character and regret the foolishness, utter cruelty, and shamefulness of his mistreatment of his child and his ex-wife. This is really pitiful.

How do you judge a person's beauty when they are a BABY? All of my nephews were beautiful as babies (of course I might be slightly biased) but looking at pictures of them when they were babies compared to them as older children and their physical appearance has definitely transformed. Besides that, it is UNFAIR and downright cruel of a father to reject his own child just because the baby doesn't measure up to what his father thinks is a pretty baby.
