Do parents think their babies are cute? --- Truthfully.

in babies •  7 years ago  (edited)

I've never had a baby, a kid, a child, a lil fetus. Neva.

I always see new parents (mostly very young people) gawking at their children as if they are so much cuter than all of the other babies.

Now, first of all, I completely understand the whole, it is your baby thing. What I don't get is that every new parent seems to think that their child is top shelf beautiful. Once the child grows up and becomes a teenager, parents tend to accept their offspring as being a 1 through 10 on the societal scale of physical attraction. SO why do babies get off the hook?

OF COURSE! IT IS A BAAABYYY!!!! DUH!

yes I know, a baby.

So does this mean that a parent only truly loves their child until they aren't babies anymore? Obviously not, so WHY DO ALL PARENTS THINK THAT THEIR BABY IS CUTE WHEN IT IS NOT (always).

I went to a website called "babycenter" and looked at a thread entitled "Do parents ever think their baby isn't cute?"

Comment #1: "I don't think parents know when their babies are ugly. But then again every person has their own sense of what is ugly or beautiful, it's just preference!" --- CRAP, shut up, wow, politically correct, nice answer but no thanks.

Comment #2: "I will always say it loud that my little man is the cutest ever no doubt about it: --- Now we are talking, that's what I would expect to hear.

Comment #4: "My oldest daughter was not the cutest as a newborn. I mean she was beautiful because I was her mother but she looked sorta like popeye. Her head was mishapen from being in the birth canal so long and she kinda looked like a little old man. I wonder if someone will jump on me for admitting this!" --- Yea, a truth at last....

What did you guys think when you first saw your baby????????????????????????????????

Basic human survival.

Babies look cute to their parents, so the parents won't abandon them.
Babies start out looking mostly like their father, so that the father will bond with the baby.

Seems logical... I guess if they were ugly, we would saw screw it... lol jk.
