what’s wrong in accepting that my son looks like me?
Hello Mam, I want to voice out a situation that I encountered. I am mother of a 13-month-old son whose facial features resemble mine. Every person that I come across, might be someone from a known community including my maternal family and my in-law’s family, or is an outsider, who walks to me to say that “Your son looks like you.”
The mother-in-law does not agree to it. She feels my son looks like someone from their ancestors. He might look like one of the great grandfathers but he looks like me too.
What’s wrong with accepting it? At the end, I am their daughter-in-law who has come to their home to stay for the rest of her life.
