Do you think your kid is cuter than average?

| My mother claims every parent thinks this, but I'm not sure that is true. Going first, yes, I think my DS is cuter than average. There are other babies that have individual features that are nicer (e.g. better hair), but overall, I think he's adorable. |

I think she's cute now, and people tell us all the time that she's cute. It might not "hold" when she's older, though - DH and I both have strong features that might doom her to "averagehood" later. (vs. pretty.) if so, hopefully she'll get by on a good personality!

| Sure, but I'm a big believer that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I agree with your mom. |

| Yes. A significant amount of people stop me to comment on my son. |

| Well, I think all 3 of mine are super cute - no surprises there. But my youngest is one of the most beautiful children I've ever seen, and I don't think I'd say that about the other two. Of course they are all beautiful to me, but objectively my #3 is beyond adorable; people tell me that all the time. He just has one of those perfectly symmetrical and perfectly proportioned faces. I think a mother can think her own children are the world's cutest but still recognize that some children (her own or others) are extraordinary looking. |

OP here - I was thinking about it a little more, and maybe part of the reason I think my son is cute is that he's generally pretty happy. The moments when his face is clenched up and he is whining, he's not as cute.

| I think my kid is objectively cuter than average, and I think she'll be a stunning young woman. She has great hair, big eyes with heavy dark lashes, and full pink lips. But much of her adorableness now comes from the fact that she is the happiest 3-year-old on the planet. It's hard not to melt when meeting a child who is totally thrilled with every aspect of everything. |

| Of course I do. I think everybody thinks that their kids are cuter than average. Maybe not the cutest, but above-average for sure. It's nature. Your kids look like you/your partner which you have already trained yourself to find attractive after years of looking in the mirror. |

I don't think it. I know it.

My 2 y.o. is super cute and has gorgeous big eyes and perfect skin, but my 1 y.o. is stunning. Everyone says it. Brightest blue eyes, perfect complexion, pink lips - she is going to be stunning.
Also, she looks just like my brother who is a good looking guy but would have been a drop-dead gorgeous woman. |

I think my dd is -- and has been from birth -- an exceptionally beautiful child.
I was worried because I didn't think that at all when DS was born. As a newborn, he looked like an old man. Now I think he's cute, but no cuter than other babies. |

I would never say this if it weren't an anonymous forum, but .... my DD who's 9 is not cute in the traditional way, but I think she's going to be beautiful -- like model beautiful -- as an adult. I say this because she's got a perfectly straight nose, high cheekbones, almond-shaped green eyes -- all bone structure kind of things. Not anything she gets from me!

Yes, cuteness as a young child means nothing for the future. Some of the top models/actresses looked pretty weird as babies/kids. |

Not sure I agree with this. We got lots of comments from friends and strangers alike that DS is "beautiful." (People stop us on the street to say that, so it's not just polite small talk.) Of course, I agree! But, I think DS's physical beauty comes from not looking anything like is very average parents. |
