Do you think your kid is cuter than average?

This thread is so inane... of course everyone thinks their baby/kid is cuter than others... this is a biological imperative!
This conversation reminds me of the thread that Jeff locked wherein a poster kept INSISTING that her daughter was more beautiful than anyone else's and every other kid was ugly compared to hers. She even posted photos and her blog site. The kid was an average looking blondie. |

I don't know about most parents, but I find I'm pretty honest about my own kids' looks and always have been. First baby was beautiful as a baby, okay as a toddler and now beautiful again as a tween; 2nd not as much, 3rd cute baby but now very good-looking child, who knows what he'll be like later? All have gone through gawky stages and often don't look so great! I was a pretty baby, and then went through about a 25 year ick period. I think I look better as a grownup.  I come from a line of people who honestly assessed looks - my mother's response to my nephew's birth was along the lines of "My God he's ugly." He's now 11 and extremely good-looking. You just never know .....

| I've seen a ton of babies that were "breathtaking" (Seinfeldian use of the term). Their mothers were wearing beer goggles (or would that be milk goggles?). |

| DD + DS were your average cute babies. DD started getting more comments around 3 - "beautiful eyes + cheekbones." DS' comments started about 4, when he slimmed out and his eyes popped, similar to DD's. Will see how they weather the tweens. |

| Oh I think I have the cutest kid of all! He is 15, and I love the way he glares at me before he tells me to get the hell out of his room! Oh, and the way he refuses to acknowledge me when I speak to him...it's priceless! |

PP is correct and so is your mom. What kind of mother, or father, wouldn't think they have the world's cutest child or children? Of course, we all have the cutest kids. I also have the best and smartest dog in the world. She does tricks, too. She can eat, bark, poop, can't lift her leg but she does try. |

| I was in line at the grocery store once, buying flowers to take to a friend in the hospital with her first baby. I said to me husband "what do we say if he's ugly?" and the cashier piped up "you just say 'awww'". Good advice! |

| Yes, mine are absolutely stunning. Beautiful olive brown skin with sandy brown hair and green almond-shaped eyes. They turn heads all over town. |

You do realize you sound silly. |

Huh? No reason to speak to us at all. Can't imagine a stranger walking over and initiating a conversation just to tell me that my child is ugly. |

I'm a PP who said that strangers comment on our toddler all the time too. I definitely can't take credit for it and I definitely don't believe that it means she'll be a beauty for life, but we do get lots of strangers who come up at the store just to comment on how pretty she is. That did not happen with my older child or my niece, so there is more to it than just people being polite. |

| On one of his campaign stops when running for President, Teddy Roosevelt was doing the usual gladhanding and kissing babies. The story is told that he picked up one baby and it was so ugly that he was momentarily at a loss for words, but recovered quickly enough to say to mother of child, "This is what I call a baby." |
