GOD HOW I EFFING HATE THAT PHRASE.

What is the point of that phrase?

Is there anyone who looks BAD holding a baby?

Is there anyone out there who holds a baby and people say- "Oh boy, you look really bad holding that baby- you shouldn't have any" ?

Is it possible to look bad holding a baby?

I don't get it. What does that mean?

I don't look good in yellow, I don't look good with short hair, I look good in a dress, I look good holding a martini... but how does a baby become an accessory that you either look good or bad with??

I hear it all the time- and I just want to scream- "I am not having any, I dont' want any and you saying I look GOOD holding this baby is not going to change my mind"

Seriously- do people have social defects??? Chat Icon

Chat Icon Next time someone asks me to hold a baby I am going to hold it away from my body with my arms outstretched... and then I'll say- "So do I look good holding a baby?"

Even better, say "Yeah I know, I'm doing good, I ONLY dropped it once!"

Then you'll get out of holding the kid now and forever.

my boss just had his second child and he goes Ohhh hold him and I just looked at him and I said "sure i will hold them then drop him and his head."

I am all for kids but as I am sure you all agree enough all ready - just because you think your kids are AMAZING doesn't make me want to spawn anytime yet.
