Anyone around here go by the name 'Herman'?
DEAR ABBY: I am married but have two children, "Venus" and "Adonis," from a previous relationship.
These children are very good-looking, and I'm not just saying that because I'm their mom.
My husband, "Herman," is ready for us to start our own family soon.
Not to sound shallow, but Herman was not a very cute kid. He wore thick glasses and braces as a child.
Whenever I am asked by either Herman or his family if I think he was a cute baby, I lie.
I know I would love our babies as much as I do Venus and Adonis, but I'm afraid they will not be as cute, and that everyone will know my older children have a different father.
These worries are causing me to have doubts about having kids with Herman.
Am I that shallow?
Am I not in love enough with Herman because I'm scared our children will be . . . ugly?
This is killing me.
Herman wants to start trying for a family this summer.
Help!
