[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most people think their kids are beautiful because we see them day in and day out and love them. Also, most kids are pretty cute when they’re young. I have elementary boys who are sporty/athletic and I can tell they are conventionally attractive which makes sense because so is my DH. But who knows what puberty will throw at them. I’m sure I’ll always think they’re beautiful no matter what, but I would think a parent realizes when their child is going through an awkward phase. I refuse to even look at photos of myself from middle school because ouch! Thank goodness I came into my own after that.[/quote]

Agree. Puberty is not a good time for most and it’s really hard to tell if someone will be attractive until after puberty because hormones can change a lot. I find it weird when people post things like “Our Emmy, the most gorgeous girl in the world!” Or anything that is a blatant superlative “Jenny is the most loving big sister ever!” Like, why do Emmy and Jenny have to be the best in the world? People are allowed to post whatever they want and most people find their own children cute even if they are not conventionally attractive. What I find weird are posts where people go out of their way to compare their child favorably to every other child in the world ever. It’s unnecessary and it reflects insecurity or lack of awareness.
