Your mum sounds like a right good egg. As somebody who has struggled with my eyes being crossed to a greater or lesser degree, had multiple surgeries since a child and been bullied as a child for it, people doing these kinds of photos still stings after 32 years. Hell... I remember having injections in my eyes while awake in an attempt to straighten them more when I was 14, I so desperately wanted them to just be like everyone else's. My eyes are mostly straight now rather than the extreme she shows but if I'm tired angry or stressed then it really comes out and I can't help that. When people do this "ridiculous" or "ugly" or "silly" face it hits below the belt. This is my face and that many of others and I can't help it or change it.Even as young children my siblings and I were brought up being told not to do cross-eyed “funny” faces because it could upset someone who was genuinely cross-eyed. It’s essentially taking the p*ss out of someone who is cross-eyed or disabled and that’s not nice. Whenever I see grown adults like Carys making cross-eyed faces “trying” to be funny I always think “were you never told as a child not to do those faces out of consideration for other people”.
She is trying to be funny, she failed massively because 1. people just cringe and 2. The faces she pulls aren’t funny. Totally agree with you. Carys just comes across as immature and not having a lot of awareness for other people.
I don't think she's doing it to be hurtful. I think like others have said she's doing it either to be silly or because she's unhappy with her body so wants to be "ugly" on purpose. Carys, if your reading this now consider how your actions make someone like me feel. It's child like and thoughtless and definitely not really reflective of your "you are enough" narrative. Your ugly is what I look at in the mirror at every day.
I started watching James and carys years ago even though they were quite a bit younger than me because they seemed to be a switched on grown up couple. To watch carys now is like watching a careening child, not a mother. She seems to be going backwards not forwards, which is scary now there is a child in the mix.
