I don't think there is anything wrong with my daughter for having brown hair. It just seems like blondes are universally more accepted, thought of as cuter, more popular, etc. What if she ends up being that mousy kid with no friends?

Whew! OK, yes, a troll. Thanks for making that clear OP. Troll grade: B+ (because you had me going there for a minute!)

I'm not a troll, just a crappy mother I guess. No one else worries about this? Or are you all blondes with little blonde babies?

Of course my baby is blonde. i am an excellent mother.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhahahahaha +1

PP here again and, yes, I do worry about my daughters' appearance -- I hope that they are "pretty enough" that it's a non-issue for them. But more importantly, I want them to believe that they are beautiful based on their own assessments, not some external reflection from others. I want their appearances to take a back seat to their other qualities, like intelligence and integrity and kindness. And I want them to judge their bodies based on how strong and healthy they are, how they feel, and what they can do, not how they look. I agonized over my appearance for years, had an eating disorder, and worried way too much about what others thought about how I looked. I don't want my girls to experience any of that. And, yes, kids know when their mothers disapprove of their looks, even when it remains unsaid.

Worrying that your kid might get teased because of something like ears that stick out or a big nose, or that he/she might be sad because he/she is not as attractive as others when it comes time for dating is normal. What is not normal is for you to be worried about HAIR COLOR ON A TWO YEAR OLD!!!

Most of us keep those worries to ourselves and hope it will be a non-issue b/c our kids are so fabulous it won't matter. You seem to care. A lot. About how she looks now.

I do keep it to myself but thought maybe I could share it here. Guess I thought wrong.

Also, while I'd never do anything to change my kids appearance, OP is correct that blond kids get more attention.

My oldest gets attention wherever he goes. Literally people running after us to tell us how cute he is, or every single person in the room complimenting him (even when there are other kids of a similar age nearby he is always the kid who gets the attention). I do think it's because of his striking looks. I actually feel bad about it because 1) it can be annoying because he literally gets SO much attention, like a little celebrity! and 2) I'm worried that my younger child will feel left out because though he's beautiful he's not as striking looking because his coloring is different and this translates into him being overlooked when his brother is there.

You equate brunette with being unattractive?? What about Cindy Crawford, Eva Longoria, Linda Evangalista, Olivia Wilde to name a few. You think people are going to judge her for not being blonde?? You have SERIOUS image issues. I'm not even saying this to be snarky but you really do need to see a therapist so that you can work these issues out. The pressure you are going to put on your child to strive for your version of perfection is going to be unbearable for her if this is what you are doing to her as a baby.

I think those women are all stunning. However, I remember being in school, and none of the kids thought there was anything special about people with brown hair; blonds ruled. There is nothing I dislike about my daughter. I just don't want her to have a harder time in life because of the way she looks. I think that is natural to a certain extent, isn't it? I'm not talking about bleaching her skin FFS.

Um. No. You are very strange.

I'm not blond but I have a very very blond 3.5 year old and a blond 10 month old. 3.5 year old's hair is almost auburn and may stay a beautiful color, though likely darker. 10 month old is getting lighter and lighter but I am very confident that by the time he is 9 or 10 it will be brown and most likely mousy. His hair is like mine. Mine was very blond until about 5 and then got mousier and mousier. So, having blond hair now is no guarantee of not having mousy hair as she gets older.

YOU ARE A LOSER. STFU and go away already. This isn't even funny or clever as a troll post. It's just moronic and sad.

Um, I'm a blond and my DD has dark chesnut brown hair and eyes that are so dark you can barely tell a difference betwen the brown and the black pupil. I wouldn't want her to be blond for one second....because she isn't a blond....and her coloring is so rich and beautiful I can't imagine her any different. She is the only brown hair, brown eyed child in our entire family and she will be raised to know her coloring is just as beautiful as her cousins. There is nothing (except for maybe a million dollars) that would make me alter my childs beautiful features. OP, you need some therapy now or you'll need to start saving for your child's therapy later. Poor beautiful baby.

PP here and yes I can't spell "blonde"

I always assumed they were interchangeable but just did some googling. Blond is for males and blonde for females? Good to know.

This is definitely a joke!

Nice try, OP. Go do something productive with all this time on your hands...

Agreed. Loser.
