Quoting Taiter Tot's Mama [AP]:“ http://theshapeofamother.com/”
What your point exactly? Good for them, whatever. I'm not and never will be "proud" of my stretchmarks and I'm not going to urge anyone else to feel that way. Especially when they, like the OP's are in a visible place and people make comments about them. I'm not in her position, I can cover mine up and I'd be willing to bet money you can too. It's really easy to tell someone "Be proud" when you can cover yours up with a simple shirt.
