[quote=Anonymous]This may be a totally useless post b/c of my lack of detail, but I read somewhere a year or so ago (I think in the NYT) that there is a "gene" or something (seems odd to me that it would be a gene, but I just don't remember) that kicks in when kids are born so that moms find their babies attractive.  I just tried to find it on google, and I couldn't, but I know that I'm not making this up.

And, yes, I think my own children are beautiful.  I did not consider myself to be particularly attractive as a baby nor do I consider myself particularly pretty as an adult (I did have a pretty cute phase from 3-6 though).  I'm not unattractive, but I'm definitely that woman on the metro in need of a makeover.  People are constantly telling me that my daughter looks just like me.  So I don't know if she really isn't cute, or perhaps I'm not as bad looking as I think I am.  But it makes me really careful about what images I project about myself when I'm around my daughter.
