My dear daughter,

True story, you are the most beautiful baby we have ever seen. Most people and every old lady at the mall stop and exclaim how beautiful you are. The nurses were already talking about you becoming a model when you were just a few days old.

Now here’s something: baby modeling is a thing in our world. Advertising companies sell a lot of things showing pretty baby faces. 

I did some research on the matter out of curiosity. There are trustworthy agencies which care a lot about security, privacy and the baby’s well being. Still, it appears most jobs won’t land more than your mother and I make in a month.

So, even under the pretense of giving you a more financially stable future, it would still be immoral to expose you and your image to help a company sell goods. Considering you are unable to understand it or to consent. We can provide you with financial comfort with our salaries and investments.

Now, I have nothing against a person pursuing a career in fashion or acting or advertising; these are honest jobs. No job is better than any other. As a friend of mine put it, every job implies some level of prostitution and/or slavery. You give away your time, your physical and mental abilities in exchange for money. Usually doing something you don’t enjoy very much.

No one would have a job if they didn’t have to. People have jobs to survive. 

Regarding jobs in fashion and entertainment, people just have to be extra careful with sex predators and harassers who are abundant in these environments. 

Of course you will always be able to count on us to help you with anything you choose to do. 

Love,

Dad
