Just shut up already!!

Enough is enough...just shut your mouth up!!

Everytime at family's occasion (my husband's family, that is), there's always someone or two or three...that commented that my daughter looks like her aunt (my hubby's sister). "Look at her...oh my god, she really looks like her...ha...ha..ha..". And that someone or two or three are not always different people, most of the time, they are the same people.

From the beginning, since my daughter was born almost 2 yrs ago, this comment never missed...and since the first time I heard it, I didn't like it, but of course being a polite and civilized person, I tried to hold my opinion, agreeing with them & laughing with them (as difficult as it was). I am not denying the fact that my daughter may resemblance my sister in law, but hearing people say it over and over and over is unnecessary (to me personally, it's rude & ignorant). Plus, she is only a little girl, and they say it like they know she will grow up just like she is now and her looks will not change (what a dumb thought).

And...the fact that my sister in law is not my favorite person, our personalities are so opposite of each other and my physical gene is better than her (I try to ignore this part as I don't want to judge people based on looks, but I can't help it when it comes to my own blood), make it even harder for me to smile and not taking this seriously. As a mom, of course, I want my daughter to look like me or my husband and the fact that she's more resemble my husband's sides than me/my family's sides is already somewhat dissapointing for me but then, these people just say it outloud and more often than I'd like to hear. So, honestly, I don't blame anybody at all, but I think enough is enough & I wish people can be more careful in what they're saying & think before you speak!

And for the record, my daughter may have a physical resemblance to my s-i-l, but not that much that a comment or two won't satisfy it. I don't know why people so fond of saying it. Plus, I know for sure besides the physical resemblance, my daughter's intelligence, personalities, and other traits are so not like her, I trully think it's more like me. Again, not that there's anything wrong with her, I just need to let this rage past so it won't haunt me. Hopefully, by saying (writing) about it on my blog, this comment will magically disappear and never be heard again.
