See what you've done Benipete .. fed him fuel ... :rolleyes::D

Anyway, back to the card. Wouldn't mind so much if it were aimed at an adult, but I don't think was in good taste and glad that it was withdrawn. I mean, would you send this to a red-headed child ? Who would you buy it for ?

Is it not time that we started focussing on building the kids confidence instead of trying to protect them from what is after all just a bit of fun? Kids have and will always be teased about things, the secret is equipping them with enough self-worth so that they can cope with it IMHO.

No I wouldn't send it I'd give it to them and make sure that they understand that it is a joke and that friendly teasing is o.k.

I wouldn't buy it at that price after all who wants a picture of a carrot top staring down from the mantelpiece over the Christmas Season?

Well, look on the bright side, most of you are completely bald
by your mid-twenties!
Coo-Chi-Coo.

OK .. So if I gave this to your eldest granddaughter who, hypothetically, had red hair in front of your son and his wife.... you reckon they would :rofl38:
I could explain gently was just teasing. Mmmm .. just don't think they would be amused somehow.

This is not about friendly teasing ... is about pointing a difference in bodily make up to all others, which could incite bullying ... see that link that was put up on Facebook where people were encouraged to kick a red-head... and they did !! It is the word 'even' in that card which is offensive ... could put it another way and the caption could read "Despite your red hair, Santa still loves you". Another put down. A child would be completely bemused in the first place. Again, adults can take this, and not into heavy PC myself .. like the dumb blondes, greasy dark hairys ... mature enough to understand all this; a child is not.

Yes, agree with Bernadette that confidence should be built up in our children (we do that anyway if we are good parents ...'cause we all think our kids are the best thing since sliced bread) ... but respect comes first for all human beings in my book.
