I hate myself for saying this, but my son is not handsome, and the worst part is he's aware of it... what can I do to help his self-esteem?

Maybe it's 'cause I'm still rather young, having had my first child at the age of 15, so I still have not entered that phase of my woman life where I see all young men as good looking fellas, but I have some objectivness in judging my kid appearance, and as much as I hate myself for saying it... he's just ugly.Neither me or my husband (and his father) are that attractive to begin with, we're both just average looking people, but the poor little thing somehow managed to the worst of both of us. From me he took his small stature, his frail bone structure, his little hands, his distant and different in size eyes and his large hips. From my husband he took his long nose, his large mouth with barely visible lips, protruding ears and his thin and long chin.Maybe I focus too much on his physical faults, but no matter how I try looking at, I just do not manage to see a handsome young man. He wasn't the cutest child when he was a toddler. He wasn't the prettiest boy when he was apreadolescent; and now that he's 20, he's never the focus of attention when he enters the room.And the worst part is... I think he's aware of it. More often than not I listen to him making jokes about his physical appearance. While his friend think he's just trying to be funny, as a mother, I cannot unlisten that sad tone in the background, the cry that he's not telling others... via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2PXBxcW
