Default Is it wrong for a mother to wish her son was more attractive?


I know this sounds terribly wrong, but my (16-year-old) son is so ugly and I can’t help wishing he was more attractive.
He is short, overweight and very pale (which looks ridiculous with his dark hair), and he’s very shy and quiet.

I always wanted a handsome, tall, confident son, and even though my boy is hardworking and smart, I can’t help but feel SO incredibly disappointed in him. I can’t think where he got these unattractive genes from.

I have never said any of this to him of course, although I have tried to get him to lose weight.

I know this is such a horrible thing to say, and I’m afraid God will punish me for it.

Is it very wrong for a mother to wish her son was attractive? Does anyone else ever feel this way? What should I do?

Please help. Thank you.
