[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cute kids change and become ugly teenagers and adults. Two ugly parents might have cute kids, but will likely have ugly adult kids.

When little, all you look at is the face and small features. However, being tallish, slender with big eyes and big lips is considered (at least for women) universally attractive.

I have two girls and treat them the same. DD1 is tall, with long lean legs and arms. She has my DH’s family body. DH’s sisters are tall, slender and beautiful. DD also has big eyes, big mouth, but at 8 she is “less” pretty than DD2.

DD2 is 6 (so still young). She has a very pretty face with gorgeous eyes, full lips, small nose, blonde hair, etc. However, she took after me and she is average height and stalkier than her sister. She is thin, but her legs and arms are thicker and shorter.

DD2 is prettier now, but in 15 years I think DD1 might be more attractive.

All of this to say that thinking your kid is beautiful/ugly now means nothing because they will change A LOT and other things (like their body) will become more important

you are weirdly confident in your ability to predict your own kids' appearances. this, despite claiming that they will change a lot. ugly parents have beautiful kids all the time. take a look at models and actresses and you will see many average or bellow average parents. conversely, many celebs have average looking kids. beauty is complicated and very small changes make a big difference. also cute kids rarely become ugly adults - often, they will be merely average or above average but not stunning, however, ugly adults were rarely cute kids.[/quote]
