Is it wrong I don't want my kids to have brown eyes?

I think the thing about wanting blue eyes being bad is because it sounds Nazi like. I can see why, but think it's somewhat unfounded. I also wanted my kids to have curly hair and they did. We often want a lot of things for our kids before they're born. Blue eyes used to be super common in America (I think I read 70%?).

Why is it unfounded if you even admit that it sounds Nazi like? This kind of preference is absolutely disgusting and racist, and we’ve obviously seen where it can end up if you take it too far.

Because there is nothing wrong with having blue eyes. They shouldn't be shunned just because Nazis wanted blonde hair and blue eyed children. It's unfounded because it's just yet another characteristic that babies can get.

Also, coming from a blue eyed family, there are SO many shades of blue eyes. My son got my grandma's watery blue eyes (they're whitish blue) and she cried when she saw them. He was the only one in a few generations with eyes just like hers. The others had more vivid blue eyes. My grandma just saw a piece of herself.

Hitler was also vegetarian and Mussolini ran the trains on time. Having blue eyes or vegetarian or liking things to be on time isn't fascist

With children, you get what you get and you don't get upset. This is super petty. Be grateful if your baby is healthy.

It's no more wrong then wanting your kid to be skinny or have a heart shaped face or be smart

You can want what you want, it's ok. I wanted a girl and found out it was a boy and now can't imagine anything different. Anyway, interesting note about blue eyes being sensitive. My kid can't see anything when it's sunny either. He is consistently squinting.

You get the baby you get. Be grateful the baby is healthy. This is the most shallow requirement ever.

No one is saying there’s anything wrong with having blue eyes, but if you don’t see a difference between preferring blue eyes (even with all the extensive racist history associated with that preference) and choosing to be vegetarian, you are being intentionally obtuse...and are probably a racist and the kind of person who goes around saying things like “but don’t all lives matter? What’s racist about that?”

I’m a Swede with naturally platinum hair and bright blue eyes. It’s not all that great. Blue eyes are really sensitive to the sun and light. Working on a computer all day is painful.

You didn’t mention hair, but people seem to always want blonde hair so I’ll just say my hair is lovely and long down to my back. With naturally platinum hair you also get platinum eyelashes and brows which really suck and I have to dye them or else I look hideous m.

Just be grateful for a healthy baby and get over yourself.

Ah, the irony when you call out someone for wanting blue eyes and throw in your Swedish with blonde hair and blue eyes. Kind of odd your alluding to your own genetic makeup in regards to it being superior to others. Maybe you should get over yourself. Platinum hair is hideous.

Starting the same thread twice in two days, about wanting blue eyes kids certainly indicates that something is seriously wrong with op. She got her answers in the first thread, even if the site crashed. The fact that she reposted indicates a troll or a seriously messed up person.

Your kid will have brown eyes. It is the dominant gene. In general, you need two light eyed people to produce light eyed kids.

DP-huh? Her argument was that it’s not superior to others bc there’s drawbacks that ppl who stupidly worship such traits don’t think of.

She didn't repost. The thread kept the first few posts after the crash

Yes.


Hope for healthy birth and baby.

^but I do agree with you that platinum hair is hideous..especially for eyebrows and eyelashes

[Anonymous]

It's kind of a dumb thing to worry about. But FWIW, DH and I both have brown eyes and our oldest (14) has blue eyes and younger one (12) has sort of hazel eyes. You never know.
