You got to see the baby.

I have never ever agreed with baby Competitions, just think it's wrong to put children of any age on a pedestal and try to think they are better than any other child. The feeling that any parent has for their child should never change and who is it that should really determine that little Johnny is better than little Sally.


So i ask the question

What is the point of baby competitions?

You get parents all excited and eager to show of the little one and proclaim to all and sundry what a little beauty he is, then they wait for the usual response on ''what a little beauty he is'', ''How cute'', ''he looks just like his dad'', the sad part is his dad might be 20 stone and sporting four days stubble or he looks just like his mum and she might also be 20 stone and sporting four days stubble.

I wonder if anyone has ever had the nerve to say after seeing a baby, boy is he one ugly kid?

You usually get the parents ring into the local newspaper over 50 times and then ask the rest of the family to do the same, they then in turn get their friends to follow the same course of action, in the hope that the little one will get onto the local rag and get his picture in the eight page pull out of the middle spread.

The sun newspaper run there own competition and the winning mother was quoted as saying

DOTING mum Lisa Walker is over the moon about Jack's win - and reckons she knows what sealed his success.
Lisa, 32, says: "I think his smile won it.
"He is the happiest child and never stops grinning and laughing.
"The first thing he does is beam up at me when I get him from his cot each morning.
"He even smiles around strangers and people often say they get a happy feeling from being around him.
"He certainly cheers me up if I'm having a bad day

I must say that i have never had a happy feeling from being around another couple's child..


I am just glad that in Britain's haste to follow in the footsteps of America, we don't go that one step further and have the truly appalling beauty pageant's, where you get children of six and upwards dressing like eighteen year olds, with make up and swim wear and parading in front of everyone. Now that is one thing where parents should step in and stop. That is wrong on so many different levels.
