[quote=Anonymous]I don't get why people are talking about their young kids being cute here. Most human babies are cute, so the fact that your kid is cute doesn't say much. I think the OP is asking about what they'll turn out to look like as teens and adults.  Usually you can tell by the time they're 9 or 10 whether they're going to have good facial bone structure and whether their hair will be easy to style in an attractive way or not.  You can tell by about that age whether their coloring will enable them to have that "natural" look where they literally "wake up looking like this."  For girls you can also generally tell what their body type will be (apple, hourglass, pear, and so on) and whether they'll be in the normal height range by that age.

I think it's really challenging when a kid is average looking but has really good looking parents or siblings. That was my situation. With a lot of good styling and work, I am above average in looks. But my mom was movie star beautiful when she was young, and it sucked being her daughter because I don't think she had any idea how to guide me in living life as a woman without extraordinary looks.  My female siblings were gifted with amazing genes and are each an "8" without having to do much more than brush their teeth.  They experienced all the attention that others mentioned here like being given things by people and asked if they needed anything while I'd get overlooked.  To this day, we can walk up to a crowded bar and it's like the bartenders have radar for them.  I can wait forever to be noticed and get my drink orders in.  My brother was also well above average in the looks department and always had a string of girls hoping to date him the minute he broke up with his latest girlfriend.  It's really like there are two worlds out there.
